Not as planned 1.5 - Katsuki and Eijiro von Puraido (A/B/O Verse) ================================================================================ Kapitel 24: Izuku Midoriya: +8 Years – Monitor and Abuse (2) ------------------------------------------------------------ Izuku and Lucia were next to each other in bed, he feared that he would have to encounter Carter again. He held his wife closer and even though he tried to go back to sleep for a few hours, he just couldn’t his mind was running wild. (the descriptive torture part starts here!) It was the middle of the night when their camp was overrun by the enemy. Izuku was ripped out of his sleep by danger sense. Kairi was already awake, yelling instructions to the refugees and the other members of her band. “Get them out of here! I will take care of the enemy! Ian help me!” she called to her son. They both ran in the other direction, directly towards the enemy. They wanted to make the way for Miles and the others. They had about a hundred refugees here and she wanted to keep them safe. Izuku growled, should he help the others or should he fight the enemies? The decision was taken from him when he got attacked. He managed to incapacitate the enemies that were swarming him, at least for a while. He joined Kairi and Ian in order to keep the others safe, but eventually, the three of them were completely surrounded and overrun by the enemy. They were forced to their knees. The greenette felt something strange on the ground, the hairs on his body stood up when it got stronger, a loud rumbling could be heard in the distance, and suddenly a massive shockwave went through his body. He screamed in pain and his body convulsed as he collapsed to the ground. Kairi, Ian, and Izuku were brought to the prison camps that were located in the deserts of Sudan, Izuku was still paralyzed from the electric shock, but slowly his consciousness came back. They were thrown into prison cells, many others were already here, they looked beaten down and emaciated. Izuku was next to a white-haired woman, she was catatonic for the most time, she just stared to the ground. She was missing a leg. Izuku had no clue how long they were in this cell, but the door was eventually opened and a large man was towering over him. He must have been around 7 feet! He had long black dreadlocks, a neatly trimmed beard, very dark skin, and electric blue eyes, they looked really creepy. Kairi and Ian, who had been sitting in the back of the cells, growled when they saw him. “Shango …” Kairi grumbled. Izuku was shocked when he looked up to the man again, this was Shango? This was the man they fought against. “Oh, so, this is the fierce leader of the mercenary band that keeps killing my forces” he spoke in perfect English. “And who might these two be?” he looked at Ian and Izuku. “That’s Ian, my son, and Izuku my employee” Kairi answered. “Your son? You do not look old enough to be his mother … or did you sire him?” Curiously he tilted his head. “No, I am his dam. Guess I am just young-looking” she growled. “I see” Shango put a hand on his chin, stroking through his beard. “I’ve heard some rumors,” he started again, “your quirk is Regeneration?” “No …” she answered. Shango’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not lying …” he let some electricity flow out. “Some of my men saw you lying dead on the ground, however, and you just stood up after a few minutes … I wonder what this is about?” He questioned. “My quirk is Auto-Rebirth, not Regeneration” She stood up now and looked him straight in the eyes. She was much smaller than him, yet she didn’t even seem to be afraid. “Is that so?” He mustered now Ian. “And you? Is your quirk Auto-Rebirth too?” “Nope,” he got up as well. He looked at Shango, “it’s Superhealing.” “Ah, the evolved form? That is such a convenient quirk, I would love to have those …” he mused. “You know, I have a daughter around your age, how about I introduce you to her? I would spare your life, even after you killed so many of my people, for a few pups … I wonder about the quirks that would come out of it …” Ian scoffed. “Sorry, but I am not interested” he snarled. Shango narrowed his eyes. “Interesting, you would choose imprisonment or death over giving me some of your pups?” “Exactly” Ian gritted his teeth. “Too bad then” Shango turned to Izuku now. “And what about you? What’s your quirk?” Izuku growled deeply in his chest. He didn’t know how to answer that. He didn’t want to give One for All away. However, he could feel a tingly feeling creeping up his legs, something was coming. “It’s called One for All … It gives me superpowers, like strength and speed” he answered. “Are you telling me the truth? You hesitated before answering me.” He took a step in Izuku’s direction. “I am telling the truth! It’s a stockpiling power, and upon activation, I can form it into super strength and super speed.” He didn’t want to reveal more of it. “Your heart beats faster. Are you nervous? Is there something you don’t want to tell me?” He could feel a static surrounding Shango, Izuku’s hair stood up and he was feeling nauseous. “There is nothing more!” Izuku answered in a pressed voice. “Izuku!” Kairi bellowed. “Tell him!” Her look was serious. Izuku gasped. “I-I got multiple quirks, aside from One for All …” he started. “I-I got Blackwhip, Float, and Smokescreen.” It wasn’t a lie, he still hadn’t activated the last two quirks of the second and third user. “Good boy, why not be honest to me from the beginning?” Shango grabbed his chin forcefully. “But I am willing to forgive you … You are quite a powerful one, right? Do you want to sire my daughter some children? You would be forgiven all the acts you did against my soldiers.” “No!” Izuku answered. His voice was shaking, he was afraid … “I don’t want to sire your daughter pups!” “I see, you are all quite strong-willed … Doctor,” he called for Carter. “Yes, my God?” He asked. “Break them, but don’t kill them, maybe they change their mind.” “Yes, my God …” A cackle escaped Carter and he slammed the baton he held in the right hand two times against his left palm. “This is going to be fun!” Shango left the cell and now they were with Carter alone. “So, you got Auto-Rebirth, how does this work? Do you die and come back instantly?” He questioned Kairi. “Pretty much …” “Let’s see then” with that, Carter walked towards Kairi, he grinned down at her. He rubbed his palms together, he had strapped the baton on the belt of his dirty white lab coat. Electric currents were pulsing through his body, and then he put his palms against Kairi’s temples, while he did that, she looked him straight into his eyes. When the electricity hit her, she gritted her teeth, she didn’t want to scream. Her body convulsed in the most disturbing ways Izuku had ever seen. More and more currents were running through her brain, completely frying it. She stopped moving eventually and her limp body crashed to the ground. The Doctor made a step back and monitored her closely. Suddenly her body jolted and Izuku could hear the loud cracking of her bones, the overwhelming stench of burned meat and blood was making him sick, and the sounds of her bones, snapping back as well as the rigid movements of her body made it even worse. This was the first time he saw her quirk in action from up close. It was gruesome! After a few minutes, her body was repaired again and Kairi came back to life, she breathed heavily and tumbled back onto her knees. She looked at Carter. “Magnificent! This is really an outstanding quirk. You have the ability to defy death!” There was a sickening glee in his voice, it almost reminded Izuku of an excited child on Christmas Eve. “Oh, I will have my fun with you, I am sure of that!” he grabbed Kairi’s face again, he cackled when he saw her annoyance. “I love hot blooded prime alphas. It’s my favorite thing to see them slowly deteriorating. Please give me a good show!” “Fuck off” Kairi growled. Even more laughing, Carter electrocuted her again. Izuku was brought into a chamber, Ian was next to him, they were in restrains. They had somehow survived the night and a new day in the camp had started. Izuku was tense, he didn’t know what was coming now … He was placed in an apparatus, his arms and legs, as well as parts of his torso, were restrained, he was in a semi-upright position, it was weird and he didn’t like it. Ian had to sit next to him, he murdered Carter with his gaze. “Oh, that look in your eyes, I wonder how long it will last …” He grabbed a needle and rammed it into Ian’s forearm, he connected it to a tube, that he connected with Izuku’s forearm, now he could let Ian’s blood flow into Izuku’s body. “Now we are going to have a little fun!” The Doctor cackled. ‘Fun’ it was only for Carter. He used his scalpel to open up Izuku’s body in various places. After that, he let Ian’s blood flow in. He wanted to see, how fast he could be healed. He was excited when Izuku was healed in minutes. He did this over and over and over again. Izuku was aware of everything that happened since he didn’t use anesthesia. The cold steel of the scalpel’s blade cut effortlessly through the tissue of Izuku’s body. It cut muscles and tendons and blood vessels, the Doctor’s hands were covered in Izuku’s blood. After an hour or so of cutting he stopped, since Ian was almost passing out from the blood loss. He gave the older prime food, so he could regenerate his blood faster. Izuku on the other hand didn’t get food, they were thrown back into the cell. Over a week it was the same, day in and day out. Whenever Ian had enough blood, Carter would work on Izuku. Every time he cut deeper when Izuku wanted to close his eyes, he got mad, he had a device to keep the eyes open, he pinched small holes into Izuku’s eyelids and he hooked small wires through them. The wires were fastened to a headgear. Now he was forced to watch the doctor cut him open. Herman was rummaging through Izuku’s stomach one time, he inspected the intestines and cut him further open to his genitals. The pain was excruciating. Carter laughed at his pleads, but when he continued too much, he would forcefully open his mouth too, so he couldn’t even speak anymore. Whenever Ian wanted to do something, he was electrocuted, he didn’t have to be conscious for his blood to work. Izuku was terrified, he was in his cell, the woman next to him was even more mutilated than before, she would be dragged into other rooms too, right after he was finished with the torture for the day. She hadn’t talked to Izuku once in all the time he was there. The door opened and Kairi’s corpse was thrown into the cell, the sound of cracking bones echoed through the small room, and shortly after she was alive again. With weak limbs she crawled to a corner, she was killed nearly twenty times a day, sometimes even more. She was exhausted, the circles under her eyes were huge. Izuku was dragged into another tent, Kairi and Ian were with him this time. Carter put a collar around his neck, it sent electric currents through his body, when he moved without Carter telling him to move. “Now let’s try something different. Hurt her” he pointed towards Kairi. “What? No!” Izuku resisted, but he got a heavy electric shock. His body convulsed and when it was over, he breathed heavily. “Hurt her,” Carter repeated. “NO!” Izuku growled. Another wave of electricity pulsed through his body, he screamed. “Izuku! Don’t be stupid! Do it!” Kairi snarled. She knew that Izuku wouldn’t be able to handle more shocks. Tears were in his eyes. “Kairi …” he winced, she was just sitting there, he was getting up to his feet. He rubbed over his eyes. “I’m sorry …” Gritting his teeth, he walked over to her. “It’s okay, you don’t actually hurt me, just do it,” she said. Ian was watching the whole scene, his body was incredibly tense. Izuku lifted his arm and balled his hand into a fist, he grabbed Kairi by the collar of her shirt, and then he punched her in the face. She growled but kept otherwise quiet. “More!” Carter said. And Izuku punched again. “More” he repeated the word after every punch that Izuku delivered, with every word a more sing-songy tone mixed into his voice. He was enjoying it way too much. “Kill her.” He finally ordered. Izuku was sitting astride on Kairi’s torso, his hands were bloody, so was her face, she was lying on the ground hands somewhere next to her head. She was still conscious and she looked at him with her blue eyes. She mouthed ‘do it’ inaudibly to him. He stared down at her, he couldn’t do it! He couldn’t kill someone! Tears dripped down and his head was spinning. He could feel how the collar got charged again, the next shock was incoming. Kairi’s gaze hardened and she snarled at him again. Almost in trance, Izuku wrapped his hands around her neck, he pressed down her throat, and with his strength, he easily crushed her windpipe. She tried to stay as still as possible, to make this easier for him, but he could still feel the struggle inside of her body, and how she went limp when she died. He could see how the light in her eyes vanished with the last breath. He was breathing heavily, he had killed Kairi … he had killed a person … he was a murderer … he stared at her lifeless body, she was pale and felt cold. With shaking legs he got up and stumbled backward, he went into a panic. He had all of a sudden trouble with breathing and he let out a scream in anguish. More tears were flowing down his body as he realized what he had done. He knew that it wouldn’t be permanent, that she would come back, but he had just killed someone! The Doctor broke out into laughter it was the hardest he ever laughed in Izuku’s vicinity. Kairi came back a few minutes later, she loudly breathed in. “Fucking hell” she cursed. “Don’t make him do that again, Carter!” she growled at the Doctor. “Oh, do you mean to tell me what to do? Puppy, do it again. Kill her!” He ordered. “No, please don’t make me do it!” Izuku begged. But his disobedience was punished with another shock. “Don’t be an idiot, just do it” Kairi said. “It doesn’t matter.” Still heavily sobbing, Izuku killed her again. And again, and again. They were here for about two weeks now, for the past couple of days, he had killed Kairi so much, he had lost count. He felt incredibly numb, during the nights, he would have flashbacks to him pummeling her into the ground, one time, he completely mutilated her upper skull, gore was dripping down his knuckles, he saw the puddle of brain mush and bone splinters, her face was gone and only the lower jaw was still somewhat intact. It took longer for her to regenerate this time. He felt dizzy this morning, when he woke up, he was lying in his own puke again, he rubbed over his face to wipe it away. His face felt hot and sticky, tears streaks were visible. Kairi was still sleeping next to him, she was completely passed out, she was so exhausted from the constant dying. Before she came here she had died roughly thirty times in total but by now, she had died over three hundred times. Ian was sitting cross-legged in the opposite corner of Izuku. “How are you holding up?” he asked. “Could be better” Izuku rasped, his throat hurt and he had trouble speaking. The door was opened again and Carter walked into the room, he cackled when he saw Izuku laying in his own puke. “Today we got something very special, puppy, I am so excited about how this operation will go!” He clapped his hands and grinned at Izuku. The prime looked scared, what was coming now? Ian and Izuku were dragged into yet another tent, it was like a big operating room there were two operation tables. Some of the soldiers dragged the two prisoners over to them and strapped them on. “Well, let’s see,” he murmured, “I am not a surgeon, that’s why I got a little help from an old friend, believe me, he is the best surgeon. I really am excited about this experiment and I want it to work, otherwise, I wouldn’t have called him right from Japan” Carter said. “It took a while for him to arrive however, travel restrictions, yada-yada” he sighed. “Doctor Chiwari!” Another man came in, he was much smaller than Carter, he was a beta, he had evenly split black and white hair and his eyes were gray, he wore a pair of round glasses. “Ah, Herman, long time no see, how’s it going, thank you for having me!” The other Doctor said in perfect English. “Reikotsu, I’ve been doing well, I couldn’t be any happier. Ever since Project Awakening was canceled by these fools, I hadn’t this much fun” he cackled. “Is that so? That’s magnificent” he grinned. “Anyway, enough chit-chat, you brought me here for a reason, what am I going to do, Doctor?” “Oh, you will transplant the organs of Subject 2 into Subject 1. I would do it myself, but I have limited know-how on these kinda subjects and I don’t want to kill my little puppy” he caressed Izuku’s cheek. The greenette was mortified when he heard that they would try to transplant Ian’s organs into him. “What? You can’t do that!” He howled. Carter placed casually two fingers on his temples and shocked him, compared to the normal shocks, this was nothing, it was just enough to make him feel uncomfortable. “Hush, puppy” the Doctor scolded him. Reikotsu rubbed his hands together. “Very well, this is going to be fun. But what will happen with Subject 2?” “Oh, he can regenerate with his quirk. I just want to test, if it is possible that my little puppy here, is able to regenerate as well if he got the organs of Subject 2. It works with the blood but I wonder if the organs will be enough, to awaken the same quirk in him. I mean, all these possibilities! An army of super soldiers that can regenerate any injury? Wouldn’t that be great?” “Oh, marvelous, you have a self-healing quirk?” Reikotsu looked over to Ian. “I myself have a Superhealing quirk, but unlike you, I can only heal others, and I can’t heal death, that is such a downside to my quirk” he sighed. “What about the blood type, are they compatible?” “That’s the neat part, Subject 2 has a blood type I have never seen before, it is compatible with any other blood type! I can’t wait to see, how this will work out. Let’s start at once!” Carter was very eager to get going. “As you wish” Chiwari got ready, and he didn’t even question it, that Carter didn’t provide anesthesia. He grabbed one of the scalpels, and he started cutting into Izuku first to open him up. He opened his whole abdomen, Izuku screamed while he did that. “Ah, that is like music to my ears …” Reikotsu hummed. Cater cackled again. “Yes, they scream so wonderfully. How is work going anyway?” “Oh, you know, as a surgeon in a hospital I have to limit my abilities. They haven’t figured me out so far. It helps when you have a rich investor in your cause. I am sure you know what I mean” he said. “Haha, yes, I know exactly. But a piece of advice under colleagues, you should still be careful around them, they can change their minds if you get ‘too brutal’” he spat the last thing out, he seemed to be disgusted. “Oh, I don’t worry too much. As long as I am of use to Khaoz, she won’t betray me. After all, I patch her little playthings together when she overdoes them” he laughed. He had now fully opened Izuku and now he turned towards Ian, Carter followed him and pressed his fingertips against Ian’s temples, he shocked him a little, he had to do this, otherwise, Ian’s body would heal instantly and Reikotsu couldn’t get to the organs. “I have seen Ms. Kaji here in Shangola,” Carter said, “she came here a while ago.” “Yes, she is traveling around, she wants to find the strongest fire users, and while Shango is not a fire user, she is very interested in the other prime alpha,” Chiwari said. “I should invite her one day, maybe she let me examine her, I have never seen such a small prime alpha.” “Ha, yeah, I’ve given her omega hormones since she presented, she says that females have it much easier as sweet little omegas than prime alphas, and fools will be fooled even more when she presents as omega.” “She has such an interesting way, I really need to talk to her.” Carter chuckled, he looked down when Ian grunted. Reikotsu had opened him up. “With what should I start? The liver? The kidneys? The stomach?” He mused. “Why not all? He will just re-grow his organs, and if it fails, we can just use the re-grown ones” Carter answered. “Alright, I will start with something easy then, we should probably leave something like heart or lungs for the end.” With that, Reikotsu reached into Ian and he started to separate the liver. His body convulsed heavily. After the liver was out, Herman stopped the electric shocks and Ian’s body started to heal up. Reikotsu placed the liver in a plastic box that was surrounded by ice to keep it cool until he had removed Izuku’s liver. Izuku cried in agony when he started to cut the organ out. It took not very long, because of his quirk, Reikotsu didn’t need to be too careful, he was rather brutal and he then just healed Izuku afterward. “What about re-growing limbs? Can you do this by now?” Carter asked. “Of course, I had this figured out at … age nineteen. I just always tell people I couldn’t do it because I like the disappointment in their eyes, when not even the ‘Wonder Doctor’ can heal them.” He laughed. “You are such a sadist” Carter laughed. “Haha, I love my job so much, but there are never enough injuries to heal, no matter how many people get hurt” he sighed. He removed Izuku’s liver now and replaced it with Ian’s, he used his quirk ‘Healing Flame’ and a white flame appeared around his hand, the incision healed immediately. “That’s done, let’s see how his body reacts to it.” Reikotsu grinned equally horrifying than Carter. They waited for some time, they monitored Izuku’s vitals and his body seemed to accept the new organ. “Perfect, I really like that” Carter laughed. “Let’s continue with the kidneys.” Izuku had no sense of time anymore, his whole body was feeling weird, he was hot, he felt fuzzy, he was hurting, there were no physical scars on his body, due to Ian’s blood and Reikotsu’s healing. But he felt like ripping the new organs out of his body. He had lost consciousness on the treatment table, so he didn’t exactly know what was changed. Ian was out too, he had to regenerate so many times, he was completely exhausted. He was breathing heavily, he was really sweaty, he was pale and the dark circles looked even darker. Kairi was gone again, she was killed on repeat like every day. Next to him was the white-haired woman, she was leaning back against the wall, staring at the ceiling. A growl escaped deep inside of his chest. Something tightened around his heart, he clutched the shirt above his heart, he wanted to rip it out. Was it even his heart any longer? He didn’t know. His head got even dizzier, he was curling himself together on the ground, he was clutching himself, his whole body was shaking. The cell door opened and Chiwari and Carter came in. “Hmm, looks like he has trouble adapting to the new organs” Reikotsu murmured. “I see, that is very interesting. Let’s test them out.” They dragged Izuku out to the yard, he hadn’t seen the sunlight in weeks. They forced him to his feet and then a shot rang, Izuku looked down to his chest, blood was seeping out of a wound. He had been shot, he fell to his knees. Blood was running out of his mouth and he felt it filling his – or maybe Ian’s? – lungs. He didn’t fucking know. He was lying on the ground and it was terrible, the sun was burning down on him, he felt like his blood was burning. He lay there for hours and nothing really happened. He didn’t die however, a normal person would have bled out by now. When it got dark, they finally pulled him in. “Very interesting, he didn’t heal, but he didn’t die either,” Herman noted. “Subject 2, give him blood.” He commanded. Grumbling Ian got up and bit his wrist, they didn’t give them knives or anything, he drew blood, and then he held the arm to Izuku. The greenette didn’t want to drink his blood again, but Ian forced him. The doctors left the room. And they were alone again. “Why did you force me. I don’t want to heal anymore.” “You’re not going to die,” Ian grumbled, “and you’re not going to heal either, why make it even harder on yourself?” “Why are you so awfully compliant to them?” Izuku hissed. “Because I was kidnapped before, remember, I am so done with this bullshit, I know that I won’t die here so why make my life harder than it has to be?” He murmured and retreated back to his corner. “I was wondering why you were giving them the information so freely” Izuku looked down. “You get used to it …” Ian crossed his arms in front of his chest. “I doubt that … gosh, my body feels so hot as if I am going into rut …” Izuku grumbled. “Fucking hell” Ian snarled. “You better don’t let them know that, who knows what they will do to you otherwise.” Izuku tried his best, to keep the rut suppressed, but his body was boiling hot. Was it really a rut, or was it his body rejecting Ian’s organs? He hoped not, what had they done with his organs anyway? Had they thrown them away? The strange feelings didn’t go away for the next couple of hours. Kairi was thrown into the cell again. They threw some food after her, it was barely enough for her to keep her strength, but she still shared with Izuku and Ian, she also tried to give the white-haired woman something, but she refused to eat, by now her second leg was missing too. “Don’t need food” she murmured, her English was bad, however. “Fucking eat, you look like you pass out any second!” Kairi snarled. She was adamant that she ate too. After some time the woman took the food and ate it, she looked so dead inside. Izuku lay flat on his back, he folded his hands over his stomach, he tried to be as still as possible, his body was hurting so much. He was ripped out of sleep when one of the soldiers dragged him away by the foot. He grunted when he lifted him on the medical table. Herman was next to him and he put the headgear onto him. He forced his eyes open again. “Let’s see how long you can stay awake, puppy.” Izuku looked over to him, pleading with his eyes not to do it. But of course, he didn’t respond to that. A hellish cycle began for Izuku, no physical torture aside from not being able to sleep. Whenever his brain functions went under a certain level, he would get electrocuted. He was awake for multiple days by now he felt dizzy, his vision was blurry, he couldn’t focus on anything. His body was so freaking hot, his rut had eventually started, this was not good. It was out of his cycle but the stress and trauma had triggered it, this was really bad. Sometimes he hallucinated that Carter was in the room when he wasn’t. Sometimes he saw Kacchan, sometimes he saw Ochako, sometimes Eijiro. He missed his friends, he wanted to see them one more time. Another shock pulsed through his head, which kept him awake again. His eyes were so dry, he really wished he could blink. Eventually, Carter came in with Chiwari, they pulled the woman, Ian, and Kairi as well as five other female prisoners into the room. Izuku’s vision was doubled, he couldn’t focus and sometimes the visuals played even weirder tricks on him. Carter released him and he fell down to the ground. “Well, my little puppy, I noticed you’ve gone into rut, how about we do something against this?” He removed the headgear and Izuku could finally close his eyes again. He shook his head. “No, please, I-I don’t want to!” he slurred, he could barely speak coherent sentences. An electric shock flowed through his brain and he screamed out loud. “Oh, but you want it, you can’t help yourself, right? You can even choose, I have some omega prisoners too if you prefer omegas, otherwise, take one of your alpha friends” he cackled. “I know you want to do it!” More laughter. “No, no, I-I don’t want to … I c-can’t no …” he stuttered. He shook his head violently, the shaking made his dizziness even worse. “T-Torture me, but don’t make me rape one of them …” Tears spilled out of his dry eyes. Carter raised his eyebrows. “As you wish” he grinned and he then proceeded to electrocute Izuku, he twitched on the ground, he clutched his head and his loud screams echoed through the room. “Pick one,” Carter ordered him. “NO, please, stop this!” Izuku cried. He vomited and rolled around on the ground when Carter shocked him again. “Pick one” he repeated. “Never!” Izuku yelled. He felt like his head was going to explode, his prime alpha wanted to give in to his urges, he wanted the pain to go away. “Stop it” Ian eventually said. Herman looked up still grinning. Izuku watched him baffled, as he got up. “Izuku, just do it.” Ian stared down at him, with a serious expression, while Izuku shook his head. “I-I c-can’t no, I …” he stammered, he couldn’t speak clearly. His body however moved slightly, he got into position, ready to pounce. Carter looked at the spectacle in front of him. “Hey, it doesn’t matter, just do it, or he will continue.” “Why? Y-you, don’t l-like it!” Izuku whined. “Better me than any of them” was all that Ian murmured. He bit down at his wrist. The stench of his blood triggered something in Izuku. “Come here … Get it over with.” Izuku’s pupils snapped to the blood that was dripping down, he pounced at Ian and the other prime hit the ground, Izuku bit down on Ian’s arm and he drank the blood it agitated him even more, even though he didn’t want it, he had to … His mind was fuzzy for most of it, he was still conscious but it was still somewhat blacked out, he heard himself growling and he remembered, how he bit down on Ian’s shoulder blade, he didn’t want to claim , he just wanted to fixate him. Blackwhip was shooting out of him, wrapping itself around Ian’s limbs. It was disgusting and horrifying, his brain played stupid tricks on him while he moved. Ian kept quiet again, he let out some grunts occasionally but he didn’t scream or cry or even speak. He could feel the fearful eyes of the omegas around him. The white-haired woman didn’t seem to register them at all and Kairi was fixated on Carter. When Izuku was done, Ian growled and healed himself, his eyes were on Carter, they were full of hate. All of them were dragged back into the cells. Izuku immediately passed out because of sleep deprivation. When he woke up, he was immediately hit with the realization of what he had done. Shaking, he sat up and looked towards Ian. “Oh my god …” he started, “I … I’m so sorry” he whined. His rut was thankfully over, he still couldn’t believe, what he had just done a couple of hours ago. “Don’t mention it, it’s okay, I’ve had it worse …” Ian reassured him. Izuku was still crying, he was a murderer and a rapist now … How would he ever be able to live with that? If they got out here in the first place, that was. He didn’t know how long they were here by now, the last couple of days, were the ‘normal' routine, sometimes he had to kill Kairi, and sometimes they cut him open, they wanted to trigger the healing inside of him, but all whatever came out of it, was the inability to die. They figured out that Ian’s organs provided him with enough healing power, to keep him alive for as long as he needed it, but they weren’t able to heal the wounds he had sustained. It was still a horrible, painful experience. The alpha woman, her name was Lucia they had learned eventually, sometimes hummed to soothe them, when they came back from the treatment, she felt how upset Izuku was and she tried to calm him. It never really worked, but he appreciated it. One day though, she came back to the cells, both her arms were missing, Izuku cried out and he held her, he couldn’t believe, that she was still alive. “W-want to s-see m-my son,” she muttered, “c-can’t die.” “I’m sure you will see him again” He tried to smile for her, but it didn’t reach his eyes. It was later on the same day, when all hell broke loose, Izuku, Ian and Lucia were in the cell when there was a sudden explosion. Suddenly, the cell door was opened and Jesper was in the room. “Get out! Hurry!” he bellowed. Ian got up immediately. Izuku grabbed Lucia and together they fled. The other members of the mercenary band were finally back. A heavy sand storm was raging over the field, distracting the soldiers, it was the doing of an Egyptian soldier named Arkay Zaki, he was one of the youngest recruits ever, he was only seventeen, yet he was able to hold the front lines with his powerful sand quirk. Right now the sand was covered in glass that Jay controlled. Izuku’s danger sense activated and he saw, how Kairi was massacring through the lines of soldiers, she was feral and in the Zone, her eyes glowed orange, the blue of her eyes mixing into it. Her hands were bloody and she mowed down the soldiers one by one. Izuku didn’t care however, he just couldn’t bring himself to do so. He saw how she crushed an enemy's head with her bare hand, she was soaked in blood and she moved incredibly quickly, as it seemed, her quirk had evolved, she got shot multiple times but she regenerated instantly. She had been killed so much, that the evolution of Auto-Rebirth was inevitable. Unfortunately, Izuku didn’t saw, what had happened to Carter. Was he amidst all the bodies? He sure hoped so. They were rushing over to the choppers that were ready to take off. They got back to Egypt, Izuku held Lucia in his arms all the time, she was helpless and she needed him to get back to her son. “We’re almost there” he caressed her hair, carefully. “Yeah … almost …” Her voice was weak, she smiled faintly. (The descriptive torture part is over now, the following is Izuku trying to heal from this experience! There is nothing too graphic anymore.) Izuku couldn’t believe that he survived this month of hell, he also couldn’t believe that it had ‘only’ been a month, it had felt like an eternity. He watched when Lucia was reunited with her son, even though her son, Kieran, was shocked to see his mother. He hugged her as tight as possible. They brought as many refugees over to Thailand as possible, Lucia and Kieran were with them, they needed to treat her immediately. Izuku was with some doctors, they examined his body, and yes, most of his organs had been replaced with Ian’s, all except his reproductive system, Izuku felt sick when he heard that, of course, he knew that it had happened, but he still couldn’t believe it. His body had accepted the organs luckily and he could continue his life normally, it was still so strange and awkward and the mere thought that these weren’t his organs any longer, freaked him out. And there were still more things that had been unaddressed, ever since they got back. He tried to talk to Kairi first, he had murdered her after all, but she just shrugged it off. “Kid, you did what I told you to do, you are still no killer by heart! You are not a fucked up person like I am …” “But still, I killed you, more than once! How am I supposed to live with that knowledge?” He broke out in tears. “I don’t know, I am still alive however, just think of it as if you knocked me out pretty good” she shrugged her shoulders. Izuku stared at her, she looked so … unaffected by it. It freaked him out. “You can go if that was all …” she said, and Izuku left her office. Kairi balled her hand into a fist when he was gone. She was mad at herself, for not being able to help him or her son in this situation. She didn’t care if she was the one dying all the time, but she was so pissed off, that they had forced Izuku to do such atrocities … Ian avoided him for the last couple of days, he was mostly in his room and he wouldn’t open the door. Izuku was highly concerned, after all, he did him dirty. He still woke up at night, drenched in sweat, panting heavily when he remembered it. In a way, he found this even more terrible than Kairi’s murders. He knew that Kairi didn’t care if she died or not, but he also knew that Ian hated sex, so this must have been even worse for him. He was nervous all the time and he jumped at any occasion, any loud noise made him flinch, and when someone laughed in his vicinity, he was reminded of the Doctor. Sometimes he saw illusions of Carter in his peripheral view. He would jolt around to nothing. His heart would accelerate immensely, and it would take a few minutes for it to calm down. He was a lot with Lucia and Kieran these past few days. She was still mostly out of it, but it helped her to stay calm, Kieran was holding his mother close, he never wanted to let her go ever again. One evening, he knocked again at Ian’s door, he had to get this out of his mind, also his body was feeling weird, he didn’t know what this was again, it frustrated him so much. To his surprise, Ian actually opened. “What?” He growled. “Uh, hey, I … I want to talk to you …” Izuku scratched his neck. He couldn’t look Ian in the eyes. He heard the other alpha sigh. “Alright, come in.” He moved away, back into his room and Izuku followed him. “So, what do you want to talk about?” “About … the things I did to you” Izuku started. “I feel so terrible! I wish I could turn time back, I didn’t want to hurt you! I should have taken more torture, maybe they would have been okay with just hurting me, I really didn’t want to … assault you” he rambled. Ian exhaled. “Look, they wouldn’t have stopped, they would have tortured you into submission. And like I said, better me than any of the omegan girls.” He said. “But you hate sex! And you clearly didn’t want it.” Izuku interrupted him. He shrugged his shoulders. “Would you have been more okay to assault one of the omegas? Or Lucia, or my mother?” Ian asked. “No, of course not! I didn’t want to do this in the first place! I feel so dirty and awful, I don’t even want to imagine how this would feel if I did it to one of them … You at least offered it …” he mumbled. “See! You said it yourself. I offered to do it. So it’s fine! Look … while I am not the biggest fan of sex, doesn’t mean I never have it. Seriously, it’s okay, I’m gonna be okay! At least this time it was with someone I like and care about.” He put his hands on Izuku’s shoulders. “So don’t be so hard on yourself! Really!” He looked Izuku in the eyes. The other alpha nodded. He tried to believe him. “Still … I’m so sorry, and when you didn’t come out for so long, I was afraid you … you wouldn’t be okay.” The greenette stammered. “Ah, sorry, I was just going through my rut and I didn’t want to see anyone because of that. It had nothing to do with you.” He forced a smile on his face. Izuku exhaled, he was at least a little bit relieved. “But … you tell me if something’s wrong, yeah? You won’t keep it to yourself, yeah?” he asked. Ian raised his eyebrows. “Sure, but like I said, it’s no big deal … well, the only thing that bothered me was that you were the dominant part, I hate to be submissive …” he grimaced. “What?” Izuku looked baffled. “Yeah, since my last kidnapping, I hate to be submissive to someone … sexually at least. So this was about the only challenge for me” he tried to lighten the mood by bringing in a joking tone. Izuku looked at him for a long time. “If … if you ever feel the need that I should … be submissive to you … you can ask me …” His cheeks were burning. He offered that because he felt like he could ‘return the favor’ somehow. Maybe it would make him feel better if Ian let it out on him too? The older prime scoffed. “Well, we will see about that. But don’t ever think you have to do it or some shit like that. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. As I said, it’s no big deal, what’s done is done. I’m gonna be fine, and so will you.” “I’m not sure about that … my insides feel so weird, I feel like a completely different person …” Izuku mumbled. “I mean, pretty much all of your organs were exchanged with mine … so I guess it will be weird.” Ian scratched his head. “How am I going to live with something like that?” “I have no idea …” Izuku couldn’t really live with that. Every night he woke up, screaming into his pillow, he felt hot and weird and he didn’t like it at all. Eventually, he had to capitulate and he walked over to Ian, the other prime was sleeping alone in his giant bed, he had even sent Hua and Jay away. The greenette had to wake him up. “Ian, I can’t sleep, I’m burning up!” He whined. Ian sighed and let him into his bed. It was a strange sensation, but whenever he was close to Ian, he felt much better, it was as if the organs sensed that their original body was close by. He felt awkward, cuddling with Ian, still because of the things that went down, but he couldn’t deny that he felt much better when he slept next to him. The months went by but the nightmares stayed, the horrific cackle of the Doctor haunting his every dream. He cursed himself that he couldn’t get past it. He tried to spend his time more and more with Lucia, she seemed to need it even more. He listened to her broken English and it made him very happy to hear her voice, even though she sounded incredibly sad. Inko was very concerned about her baby too, the longer this lasted, the more she feared that he would succumb to it. She was devastated and she accused Kairi of ruining her son. Izuku had to hold her back, time and time again he tried to convince her, that Kairi did everything to keep him safe. The nights he spent either with Lucia or with Ian, but it still didn’t get better. “Kairi, I can’t do this anymore, I can’t get it out of my head” Izuku confessed to her. She seemed to have moved past all of this. And if she hadn’t she didn’t show it. “I just want to forget about the things that happened, I just can’t live like that!” Kairi looked at him and nodded. “Okay … I might know someone who can help you.” There was an incredible sadness in her look, and Izuku didn’t know why. They asked Lucia if she wanted to forget it too, and she also said yes. Izuku, with Lucia in his arms, as well as Kairi and Ian made their way over to Big Mama’s brothel. He was curious why they were here … “Big Mama … How is Veronica?” Kairi asked. Clarice looked up from her doing. She had a very serious expression. Especially when she looked towards Ian. “She is doing fine … Why are you asking?” “Because Izuku and Lucia need her help … only if Veronica is feeling well enough of course” Kairi lifted her hands up, to suggest that the older prime alpha had every right to say no. Clarice contemplated for a moment. “We can ask her if she is feeling well enough.” She stood up and they walked over to a separate room. The atmosphere was heavy in the room. They all entered and Izuku felt so misplaced. There was a bed and in the bed, there was a young woman, she was hooked to medical machines and she was also missing an arm, she opened her eyes when she heard someone coming in. Her eyes landed on Ian and a smile appeared on her face. “Ian … it’s been so long …” she was very weak, she forced herself to sit up. “I’ve missed you!” her blue eyes teared up, her hair was long and black. “Veronica …” Ian murmured. He walked up to her and sat on the side of her bed, she smiled and placed a hand on his cheek. Izuku gasped slightly when he felt the intimacy of the scene. He had to look away because he felt like an intruder. “I have a request, Veronica, you can always say no, if you don’t feel like it, but please hear me out” he started. “I’d do anything for you, Ian” she smiled as brightly as she could at him. “These are my friends Izuku and Lucia, while we were away, to fight off the bad guys, some bad things happened, to us, and they both struggle to forget them, could you help them block out the memories?” “Would this make you happy?” She asked, a hopeful tone in her voice. “Yes, it would make me really happy.” He answered. “Then I will do it!” She grinned widely. There was a painful look on Ian’s face. “Alright, come here, Izuku, Lucia” he winked them over. He carefully moved, so Izuku could sit in his place. “Let me have a look” she smiled at them. She put a hand on Lucia’s forehead, the alpha flinched a little, when the omegan girl touched her. After a few minutes, she moved over to Izuku. “Hmm, I see what happened …” She looked incredibly sad. “I will try my best to block the memories. But I have to warn you, I can not delete them, just lock them away behind walls, if you should trigger these memories somehow, they will keep rushing back in, so be careful, sometimes one word, a name, or action similar to the thing that happened to you, will be enough to break the walls.” She told them. “I understand” Izuku nodded. “And I won’t be able to block everything, you will still remember that you went to Africa and you will remember that you found her in a camp … but some of those memories are really deep, so it might not work that well.” “It’s enough if you just try your best, if it’s not working then it’s fine. We will find a way to overcome it.” Izuku reassured her. Veronica nodded, she smiled at them. Then she put a hand on Izuku’s forehead. Everything on his mind was illuminated by this white light that washed through him. He closed his eyes and everything went blank. Izuku felt strange after he opened his eyes, Lucia was still in his arms, she had been treated too, she was passed out. He furrowed his brows and looked around. He remembered that they were here for a reason, but not exactly why. Veronica smiled at them. “It was nice to meet you, Izuku, and Lucia” she seemed incredibly weak now. “Y-yeah … it was nice to meet you too” Izuku stammered. He was deeply in thoughts when they got home, he tried to let it go, but he couldn’t, he knew he should. “Who was this girl?” He asked Ian, they were sitting in his bedroom later that night. Ian buried his head in his hands. “That was Veronica. She is Big Mama’s youngest daughter …” he murmured. “She seemed very infatuated with you …” Izuku questioned. “Yeah …” The older prime was silent, there was something heavy weighing on him. “What happened to her?” “I happened to her …” His voice sounded incredibly off. “What do you mean?” Izuku was confused. Ian exhaled. “When I was kidnapped, after I presented, so was she. You see, she’s a prime omega, and well, those men, they were greedy, a prime alpha and a prime omega, that was the deal of the century. I didn’t know her before at all, since I wasn’t allowed in the red light district for obvious reasons. They forced us to mate and … they bred us. Or at least they tried …” Izuku was shocked to hear that. “We got rescued by my mother, she killed all those bastards, but the damage was already done. You see, when Alphas and Omegas mate, it’s a pretty heavy bond, and to break this is quite hard. But if it’s fresh and unwanted, it can be done. But the thing is, I am a prime alpha, and Veronica is a prime omega … we have purer alpha or omega blood in us, the bond was incredibly deep, even though I had never seen her before. The worst thing was, she got pregnant and therefore, we couldn’t immediately break the bond, this would have killed the child … But the longer the bond stays, the harder it is to remove it.” Dread rose in Izuku. “She … had medical complications and at around the seventh months the baby died, she gave birth to a dead child and in her craze, she didn’t want to let go of the baby, I … I had to alpha command her, to let go of it. I took the dead body out of her hands … and … I had to tranquilize her. We buried the baby …” he exhaled deeply. “Then came the time for the bond scrubbing. Stella is Veronica’s sister, and she of course was ready to help, but seven months in, the bond was already incredibly deep. And she had even more complications and a rejection of the bond mark. The arm on her left side, where the mating mark was, got blue and black and it rotted away until they removed it. Ever since that day, she has had to stay in bed, she is incredibly weak and even though the bond is broken for me, she still suffers from it, and it can’t be fully removed. She asks for me all the time, but I can’t go near her, it would make everything worse. That I was there today … I don’t know how much she will suffer from it. I am still her mate in her eyes …” He was shaking. “That’s why you are afraid of babies?” Izuku asked. “Yes … I … I never want to see a dead baby again …” He pulled his legs closer and wrapped his arms around them, he put his head on his knees. Izuku stayed with him. It got better for him from that night on, Izuku had more control over himself again, and he felt a lot safer, he always knew that there was something that had happened, but over time, he learned that it was better to let it go and don’t scratch on the walls. He still had an open ear for Lucia’s worries and he tried to help her overcome her demons too. His relationship with Ian was still weird, he didn’t know any longer why, he had no memories that his organs were replaced by Ian’s so he felt always strange around him, but otherwise, they managed to get along quite well.
