This is the Villain!Deku au I was talking about earlier.
Basically, Izuku is still quirkless (he gets something like a quirk later) and he was 'recruited' by Mr. Compress, Shigaraki Tomura, and Kurogriri and the tender age of twelve.
This is the story of how he grew up and escaped from villainy, so it's gonna be a little dark.
People who are scared, please kindly GTFO. I don't want you complaining.
People who aren't... well, welcome to the show! Hopefully you guys'll like it.
Love,
Ellis x

'Izuku?'asked Midoriya Inko. 'Are you alright?'
She was positive that her son was trembling when he packed his overnight bag for a sleepover at his new friend's residence.
'Honey, are you sure that you want to go?' She peered out the window at the trio in the driveway. A young man in a three-piece suit, a boy about Izuku's age with stringy, greasy-looking blue hair, and a dark blob.
'This... Shigaraki family seems dreadfully odd. Besides, what kind of person has the surname "death grip" gives their child the name "tree funerals"? '
'Don't say that, Mum.' Izuku said, his voice oddly monotonous. 'It's just... Tomura-chan is really nice, and his house is really big! Besides,' his voice lightened, 'Kacchan will be there. He will save me if anything happens, you've got nothing to worry about.'
She dropped the curtains and knelt beside her son, taking his small hands in hers.
'Honey, I know you still feel sad about the fact that you're quirkless. I also know that you're being bullied because of it.' She squeezed his hands. 'And it's all mama's fault.'
Izuku opened his mouth to argue, but she shushed him. 'I couldn't give you my quirk, nor your father's. But I can give you this.' From her pocket she took a small green bag made of silk, with the words ' 御守' sewn on it.
'This, is mama's omamori. Inside is a powerful enchantment that's been protecting mama ever since she was a little girl.' She placed it in his hands and folded his fingers over it. 'Mama wants you to have it.'
Izuku's round eyes stared up at her. 'But mum, who'll protect you then?'
Midoriya Inko hesitated, and laughed. 'My Izuku, of course! He's gonna grow up into a big, strong hero who'll protect his mama!'
'Yeah.' Izuku didn't smile and jump around like he usually did, but turned away from her and tied the onomamori to his duffle. 'Promise.'
He'd just finished packing and shouldered his back when there was a polite but obviously impatient knock on the door.
It was a tall and slender young man, probably in his early twenties, with brown eyes and wearing a red shirt and a black waistcoat. 'Hello.' He greeted her with a soft baritone. 'Is Izuku-kun done yet? Tomura is getting rather impatient.'
'Ah, he's almost done.' She peered back into the house to find Izuku gone. 'He's probably just in his room. Are you Tomura-chan's big brother?'
The young man looked surprised. 'Heavens no. I'm more like his godfather. Do you mind rushing Izuku-kun a little?'
'Izuku!' She shouted good-naturedly into the house. 'Hurry up and finish putting your socks on, Tomura-chan's waiting!'
There was a muffled response of 'Wait a sec'.
She turned back to the young man. 'Children.' She laughed. 'Always making such a fuss. Who's the... misty person next to Tomura-chan?' She asked, referring to a dark blob next to the said blue-haired boy.
Is that boy playing with... a hand?
'Oh, that's Kurogriri, our butler and means of transport.'
'Oh.' A blob of dark mist called dark mist? How... appropriate.
Izuku came padding down the stairs.
'Hurry, Izuku.' She helped him into his shoes and kissed his forehead, before ushering him out the door. 'Call me before you sleep, yeah?'
'Yes, mum.'
She watched as the young man put a hand on his shoulder and steered her son away. Then suddenly, Izuku twisted in his grasp and rushed back towards her, enveloping her in a hug.
'I love you, mama.' He said, his voice sounding unusually choked up.
Not knowing what to do, she gently patted his back. 'I love you too, sweetie. Now, go get them, tiger. Remember to come home in one piece, yeah? Tell me all about your adventures when you come home.'
'Izuku-kun.' The young man was still standing in their driveway. His voice was stern.
'Yes, Mr Compress.'
What an odd name.
So she let go of her son.
It wasn't until late at night when she got no calls she realised that something was wrong.
Izuku never calls her mum.
Only ever mama.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'That was a spectacular show you put on there.' Mr. Compress tittered, his odd mask back on his face. 'I would know, as I was, once an-'
'-entertainer. You said that before.' Izuku's hands fisted at his sides. 'Is my mama going to be okay?'
Mr. Compress's mask seemed to grin wickedly at him. 'Why do you ask?' Three tiny glass globes appeared and disappeared between his rapidly moving fingers. 'Of course she'll be alright.'
'Liar.'
Izuku halted in his walk. 'Why did you want me? I'm quirkless. I can't be a hero, how can I be a villain?'
'Relax.' Mr. Compass put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed. 'All for One has his plans for you, and I respect him enough not to challenge his verdict. So, please, stop asking questions.'
'But I don't want to.'
Mr. Compass sighed. 'Look, kid, we can do this in two ways: the easy way, or the hard way. One,' he lifted his pointer finger as emphasis, 'is that you come with us. Quietly, and compliantly. Do everything we say.'
Izuku gritted his teeth, trembling in fury. Never, he wanted to say. But he said instead, 'How about number 2?'
'Two,' said Mr. Compress, making the peace sign, 'is that you continue being your annoying little self and I'll have to compress you into one of these babies.'
He gestured to the little glass globes he was playing with. Izuku had originally thought they were marbles with odd twisty shapes in them, but now he could see that the shapes he saw were actually little people, tumbling in the spheres with terrified expressions.
'And I might or might not ask Kurogriri to send our dearest Shigaraki-kun to destroy your house.'
Izuku gulped.
'I'll go with you.' He managed, and shakily accepted Mr. Compress's proffered hand as they stepped into the warp gate.

Okay, even I am impressed with my progress. I'v managed to write 1002 words in a few hours and yessss I can update!
By the way, remember how Mama Inko talks about Shigaraki Tomura's name? I was referring to the Japanese meaning of his name which is:
Izuku's surname means 'Green Valley' by the way. So pretty XD
This is a picture of Mama Inko's onomamori
I also found an Izuku!Onmamori on the net :P
Adorable, isn't it? I found it for USD 5.41 online (dm meh of you want the link). The one above costs USD 9.99, though.
I'll write a part 2 later (this is the Prologue if you can't tell), as a preview for my other novella, Back to You.
You guys have to follow me to read it though, so please follow if you want to read it!
