World Domination

As his eyes fluttered open, he found himself waking up in a super comfortable position. He was confused at first, then everything came to him once again. He wasn't really used to love or comfort, at all, all his life was suffering and all he experienced was trauma and torture - nothing else. Every day, every night, every time, he was in his locked up room. The floor was made out of concrete, it was hard and cold., and he had to sleep on it. Even though Izuku got used to it and he could basically sleep anywhere, it didn't mean that it still made Izuku unable to sleep.

Back to Earth, he curled up in the softness more, trying to enjoy every comfort he could get, forgetting that he already escaped from hell. Once realization hits, he jolted awake to confirm whether the memory is true or not - it was true.

Rolling to his side, he saw himself laying on a pile of pillows and a fluffy blanket in a green environment. Not painted green walls, nor a green colored theme room, but a complete greenhouse.

He used his hands for support to stand up on the pillows and blankets. Moving his head around, he saw grass and small plants under his pillows, or 'nest' as it looked like. It was in the middle of everything - green, tall trees, brown trunks, a small pond with almost transparent, clean water - these are new to Izuku. He couldn't pay attention to his surroundings and be awed at them, not when he was escaping. So, everything here was new to him, the colors, new objects, etc.

The air he was breathing in and out smelt really good and fresh, it felt like he was really in a forest, it was unlike any of the air he had had in his room. Stinky, clampy, unclean, adding the attitude of his parents and his situation, the air was suffocating. He was glad that he was finally able to get out of hell, he was glad that he was able to explore new things, he was glad that he finally got a real, true family, not like his ‘dad’ and ‘mom’ who exploited and abused him.

Then, he started to walk around the large room towards the small pond. Looking down at his reflection, he saw white hair and emerald eyes, just like how his new dad described them. He loved the fact that his hair is unlike his parents and the fact that he has the same hair color as his dad. For the first time in years, he is proud of his appearance.

He looked up at the ceiling of the room as he sat down on the grass, wondering if this would be his new sleeping place, because damn, the ‘nest’ is the best thing ever and the environment is better than he could ask for.

Suddenly, he felt something under his arms and was lifted off the ground. He let off a startled yelp as one second later his head rested on someone’s shoulders. Feeling the familiar warmth, he recognized the man holding him without the need of seeing him. He felt arms behind his back, hugging him as he did the same, enjoying the soft and gentle contact.

“That was an adorable yelp baby scales, and I’m sorry for startling you.”

The villain grinned amusedly, implying that the action was intentional. Still, he runs fingers through the white haired boy as the boy hummed in content.

“It’s okay, I don’t really mind, it’s nothing compared to what they did to me.”

“...”

There was only silence, it was as if Izuku dropped a whole damn nuke on the conversation (which he did).

“Come to think of it, you never told me your Is name dad.”

“Oh right baby scales, I was going to tell you sooner or later, but I forgot. Anyways, my name is Yuichi, Yuichi Shigaraki.”

“Nice name… I guess.”

“Aww thank you! How about you? I know your name, but not your age, I am like 200 years old or something, I lost track of it.”

“13…”

“...”

“I’m sorry what?”

“I’m 13? Did I say something wrong?”

“Oh no baby scales. I was just surprised, I thought you would be older.”

“Okay then…”

Then, there is silence. While All For One is surprised by Izuku’s young age, Izuku himself is nervous, thinking of an important decision that almost rivaled the escape plan. Because of all these years of insults and degradation, the word ‘useless’ is carved in his mind, it won’t be easy to be removed and healed. Therefore, just one single question, especially this one, would make Izuku nervous.

Finally deciding to break the comforting silence, he spoke up and asked his question.

“Hm… Actually… Can I ask you another question?”

“Yeah? Shoot!”

“Can I like…”

“Yeah?”

“Inherit your last name? Can I be Izuku Shigaraki? I know it seems too quick but I can’t help to trust you fully, but it’s okay if you don’t wanna, I mean, who would want a useless person like me?” Yuichi listened to his son’s ramble as his anger rose again. Every time Izuku belittled and downgraded himself reminded him of his baby scales’s manipulative and abusive bastard parents. Putting this aside, he let happiness, proudness and pride fill his mind, enjoying the pleasure of getting called 'Dad' or even hearing his new dragon son wanting to inherit his last name 'Shigaraki'. He beamed, watching Izuku tug his shirt tighter.

“Of course baby scales, of course, you are very welcome to use my last name, we are family, right?"

"Yay..?"

Despite the lack of enthusiasm, you could still hear the infinite happiness and relief hidden under his mask, which the villain would carefully and gently take it off. All wounds takes time to heal, especially a mental one.

"Anyways, good morning Nestling, let's get some breakfast, shall we?"

"Yeah.”

“Hm?”

All For One raised one of his eyebrows as he stared at Izuku in a tone that means ‘I know the answer but I’m still going to ask’. In a fond way, he made sure Izuku knew that he was staring at him playfully.

"What's the magic word?

"Please.."

"Good boy.”

It has been a week since the baby scales got kidna- saved and adopted by Yuichi. The week had been great to both of them as they spent a lot of time together - have breakfast, lunch, dinner together, Yuichi setting Izuku on his lap to train his quirk and analysis, snuggles and cuddles - all those wholesome stuff a normal pair of father and son would do, except you would die from diabetes if you witnessed it in real life.

With Izuku’s agreement, Yuichi decided to treat Izuku like a 6-year-old when they are alone. The decision came from the thought of letting Izuku experience his non-existent tragic childhood and regaining the happiness of a child. Despite being a supervillain, living for centuries really helped with dealing with psychological problems as he once faced them before, especially right after killing his brother - regret, sorrow, anger, etc.

Therefore, he researched ways to deal with these psychological traumas and problems while finding a way to relieve his nightmares and guilt. Of course, he came across research stating that a traumatised child should be cured with love and happiness along with the happiest moments in their lives. But in Izuku's case, there is none, that’s why Yuichi decided to have a childhood, or create one. By treating Izuku like a baby or a little kid, with Izuku’s permission, he will start to understand how gifted, talented, beautiful and adorable he is.

He will help Izuku

He will heal his baby dragon.

And he wouldn’t let his baby scales’ abusers get away.

So, he is now sitting on the office chair in his room with Izuku on his lap, watching hero versus villain fights as he did his work as a supervillain. Before he could go find Izuku’s parents, he would need to meet one of his new clients for his legitimate company.

Knock

“Come in.”

The door opened to reveal a green haired freckled man. He looked very familiar to All For One, he could’ve sworn that he had seen that face before, at least something similar.

The noise however, seemed to startle Izuku, his situational awareness which he excelled at (excluding his analysis skills) didn’t help at all. Looking up to face the door, he was curious to see who the person was. Suddenly, he started to tremble.

It can’t be him

It can’t be him

It can’t be him!!

Yuichi noticed Izuku’s reaction to the man and his fatherly instincts kicked in. He instantly curled his arms around Izuku’s waist, using his body warmth to comfort the trembling boy. After that, he glared at the green haired man who seemed to be completely unaware of the situation in front of him, as well as not knowing that he was causing discomfort to his nestling.

However, that didn’t last wrong. The man’s eyes widened before his lips curled up into a smirk, sending daggers at Izuku in a predatory glare, seeming to be satisfied and relieved with something, also leaking some of his anger and frustration out, directing them right to Izuku.

Yuichi decided to let the man talk, who knows who that man is? Maybe he could kill him later after identifying him- Wait, don’t tell me-

“Why hello there Izuku, why are you here? I am so worried! How about you come back to you dad?” Then, the man turned to Yuichi, “Mr. Shigaraki, I would like to speak some business, but it seems like that my son is causing disturbance to you, I humbly apologize-”

Before he could add anything, Yuichi let off an intimidating aura towards the man, carefully not directing it to Izuku’s or he would be afraid of him.

“Are you Izuku’s father?”

Izuku winced at the word ‘father’, even though the man is biologically his father, but in his heart, he isn’t. He thought everything was going to get better, but after his ‘father’s’ appearance? Nope, all those happy and positive thoughts are all gone, replaced with self worth issues and fear.

“Yes?”

“What’s your name?”

“Oh right, how impolite of me! I forgot to introduce myself!”

Completely forgetting how he got threatened, the man changed into a different subject quickly, as if he was trying to ignore it.

“My name is HIsashi Midoriya, my son is Izuku Midoriya, me and my wife accidentally lost the kid-”

Izuku was desperate to hope that his dad would not abandon him.

“Don’t tell me any excuses, Midoriya, or whatever you want to call it, I know damn well you are abusing you- no, my baby scales, care to explain that? By the way, Izuku’s name isn’t Izuku Midoriya, it’s Izuku Shigaraki, his father isn’t you, it’s me.”

“W-what?” I think we have some misunderstandings-”

“You are saying that I am wrong?”

“N-No of course!”

“Doesn’t matter, you are going to die anyway, I will give you a slow one though, how nice am I? You should be grateful that I am even letting you live. Kurogiri, send him away to the doctor and let him identify his family and kidnap them.”

“Yes, master.”

Suddenly, black purple mist stood in front of Hisashi, before he could even protest or say anything, he was dragged into the mist and disappeared.

“I will take my leave now, master.”

(warning: panic attacks)

Izuku’s blood pounded in his ears. His heart thudded loudly in her chest, his hands shook and his feet tingled. Tears swelled up in his eyes, quickly gathered and rolled down his cheeks, blocking his view.

He didn’t see or hear Hisashi get sent away from him. All he could see is his ‘father’ abusing him and locking him up in his room, demanding his analysis, insulting him, and the image of Hisashi taking him back again. Is he going to come back? Am I going to be taken away? Will I be back in my old room again? Please don’t take me away.

He couldn’t see Hisashi any longer, he couldn’t look at it, all the images of Hisashi filled up Izuku’s mind, not helping Izuku to stop the spiralling thoughts. His breath hitched, breathing was hard for him, it was as if he ran a whole damn 100 kilometers marathon. All he could do was mentally beg Yuichi to not abandon him.

After hearing the uneven and shallow breaths of his son, Yuichi finally noticed that Izuku was having a panic attack. He immediately jumped into action. He cupped Izuku’s cheeks and turned his face to him, facing him directly.

“Baby scales, breathe, it’s okay, the man is gone, no one will take you from me, you’re mine, my little dragon, we will dominate the world together, I will protect you, so don’t worry, okay?”

Still, this didn’t get through Izuku’s barrier of thoughts.

“Izuku, look at me.” Yuichi got close to Izuku and finally got noticed.

“Good job, now follow me breathing, one, two, three. Breath. One, two, three, breath.”

Izuku’s breath started to even, seemingly calming down. After calming Izuku to a degree where he could speak, Yuichi spoke to him to attract Izuku’s attention from his thoughts.

“Baby scales, can you tell me 3 things you see?”

Izuku nodded, “Y-you, monitor, wall,”

“Good job Izuku, you are doing great, can you tell me 2 things you smell?”

Nodding again, “your hair, the room”

“Good, now can you tell me something you love?”

“You…”

“Aww, I love you too baby scales, I love you too.”

(warning: panic attack- end)

Izuku finally stopped trembling, but it didn’t stop his tears from escaping from his eyes.

“That was your sperm donor, isn’t he?”

Izuku nodded. Suddenly, he was picked up, but he wasn’t in the mood to be surprised. Though, he was placed in a straddle position against Yuichi and was enveloped into a bear crushing hug. The hug successfully snapped Izuku out of his spiralling thoughts, back into reality.

Looking around frantically, he saw his ‘father’ gone, there was no one except for his new, amazing dad. He was relieved, but he was still scared. What if Yuichi decided to abandon him because he was useless? What if Yuichi started to-

“Nestling, it’s okay, the bad man is away, you don’t need to be scared, I am here.”

Yuichi spoke in a soft, gentle voice, right into Izuku’s ears, so he could hear him better, muting Izuku from the negative thoughts. He stood up while putting his hands under Izuku’s bottom, making sure he wouldn't fall from the hold, slightly bouncing him like a baby to comfort him, walking towards the doors.

“Right after this, I will fucking kill them.”

Yuichi muttered under his breath. One part of him felt relieved that there was someone to care for him, another part of him felt bad for those excluding his parents who offended the furious supervillain, not that he actually had sympathy towards his parents, they were just too much of an asshole to Izuku to care for, he would rather Yuichi to kill them, he didn’t mind, parents or not. The last part of him should be scared, but he wasn’t. The great All For One swore, and that one thing could already mean the world apocalypse.

All For One is a formal supervillain, ruling the underworld, Yuichi Shigaraki is a successful business man, controlling almost the whole economy in Japan. But, neither of those swear at all, in fact, they are formal and calm as fuck, excluding the fact that Izuku is here that is. No one witnessed or heard them swear, or just maybe, no one who heard them swear had ever lived. Even himself was surprised though.

Ignoring the fact that he just swore, he quickened himself to Izuku’s room. He was greeted by greenery once he opened the door. He spotted the large pillow nest he had built for Izuku and walked towards it. He placed Izuku on the nest as Izuku quickly curled around it. He caressed and ran his fingers through Izuku’s hair and got up, ready to leave. Then, he was stopped by a firm grip. Looking back, he saw a sleepy Izuku in tears, wanting Yuichi to sleep with him.

“Do you want me to sleep with you?”

“Mhm.”

“Okay then fledgling, we can get all the cuddles you want, but what’s the magic word?”

“Please…”

“Good boy.”

Smiling, he snapped his fingers as he changed into his t-shirt, flopping down into the nest.

Damn, this nest is comfortable as hell, maybe I should sleep here along with baby scales too, as long as he is okay with it.

He felt arms curling around him as he instinctively curled back. Running his fingers through Izuku’s chest, All For One smiled fondly as his son calmed down and relaxed. He loved how Izuku trusted him, but hated how he only trusted him because he saved him, because he is going to show how he could be trusted as a father, not just a savior to Izuku.

Both father and son duo were fast asleep in the nest, cuddling together.

Then, the doctor came into the room to report something, only to see his master and young master sleeping together like father and son. He was happy and proud, he never really saw All For One express his emotions. But now, he saw his master finally finding the happiness he wanted. He felt like his life was finally completed even though he had yet to master the Nomu project which was going on for quite a while.

Taking his phone out, he snapped a couple of pictures before exiting the room, it was a rare sight to behold. He then left the two in the nest asleep, not wanting to disturb them.

“So, baby scales, would you like to do the honors? Is it okay for you to see the gore in the first place?”

“Sure… Yeah, I will, but after can I sleep please? I don’t wanna exist.”

“Yeah, sure baby scales, you can do whatever you want with your time, I can’t control it.”

“It’s still nice to listen to you, I don’t mind, really.”

“Awww, thanks for trusting me nestling.”

“Mhm.. but how will I kill him?”

“Ah yes! I forgot to give you a quirk!”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah! You remember the first video where you analysed a hair quirk and a telekinetic quirk?”

“What about it- wait don’t tell me-”

“Yep! You seemed to be totally interested in it, so there you go!”

Yuichi then placed his hands on Izuku’s forehead, warmth leaving from his body to Izuku’s. The process took a few seconds.

“Good, no side effects, try pulling something towards yourself, or push, whatever you want.”

“Sure… I guess…”

Izuku walked in front of the door that leads into a secluded room.

“Are you ready to see them? I could do it to them by myself, baby scales, I don’t think you are comfortable with their presence yet.”

“It’s okay, I think, if I don’t face them, I won’t be able to do anything in the future, not that I want to though.”

“Tell me if you get uncomfortable or you can’t handle it, I will do it for you, okay?”

“Mhm.. Thanks though..”

Holding onto the door knob, twisting it, the door opened to reveal a woman and man rugged, blindfolded, tied up on a chair. He wasn’t quite ready yet, but now he knew what they said was not true, just lies, he really wanted his parents to pay for what they did to him. Of course, he still sees himself as ‘useless’ or 'worthless’, but he was feeling better with the help of his dad.

He breathed deeply as he stepped in the room, facing his parents. Much to his resistance, his body uncontrollably started to tremble and shake, showing the fear he had towards his parents.

It’s okay, they are blindfolded, they are tied up, they can’t see, they can’t hear, they can’t do anything to me. Even if they got up, dad will protect me, he will protect me, I won’t get hurt, and he will make sure of it.

Strengthening his resolve, closing his eyes, he stretched out his trembling hands towards his ‘parents’, he tried to feel the same warm sensation he felt during the quirk transfer. After a minute or two, he felt it. He didn’t hear or see anything in the outside world during this time, he was concentrated, fully focused on the task in front of him, forgetting his parents were in front of him.

Feeling the familiar sensation, he pulled it towards the surface, he felt the quirk activating. Then, the next thing he heard was the screaming of his ‘father’, “Make it stop!”, under the rug. But, he didn’t care, he wanted them to scream, he wanted to make sure they felt pain.

You are useless!

Don't even try to escape! No one will love you!

Worthless.

Waste of space.

The only reason we are keeping you is because of your quirk, not you.

Don't call me Mom!

Don't call me Dad!

We are not your parents!

Remembering all the abuse, all the torture, all the treatment, all the neglectment, all the pain, all the wounds, all the scars that were given to him by his parents, anger rose up for the first time, breaking the last bit of his will to not hurt his ‘parents’. The screams stopped as he raised his hands. He first thought his quirk deactivated, but when he opened his eyes, he saw his parents with their stomach ripped open, organs on the floor with a puddle of blood surrounding it.

He didn’t feel disgusted, rather, he felt satisfaction.

Like the birds flying in the skies, he is finally free.

Nothing is going to tie him down.

It was as if a heavy boulder was lifted.

Yuichi watched proudly at his son who killed his asshole parents without hesitation and activated the quirk for the first time (and still succeeded to use it properly). Even though killing was not what he wanted Izuku to do, it had to be done. If he wanted Izuku to heal, then Izuku would have to feel anger instead of fear towards his parents.

Also, this is the firsts step of his baby dragon to soar above the heavens.

The first step to maybe plan world domination with him.

His first step.
