When they got there the place was empty. But when they were walking around to make sure, Shoto walked into what looked like a bedroom and saw Izuku laying there. He was naked and covered in his own blood. His throat was slashed open and he had many other deep cuts on his body. Shoto ran to his body and cried.
"Shoto" he saw Izuku floating in all white clothes, a hoodie covering his curly green hair.
"Izuku, I was too late. I didn't get here fast enough. I couldn't save you."
"It's okay. I don't blame you. But you just missed them if you follow me you may be able to catch up to the people who did this to me."
"Just show us the way Deku." Katsuki said hearing their conversation.
Izuku floated out of the building while the other two went through the back door. They ran as fast as they could eventually losing Katsuki since he couldn't keep up. When they finally got to them Shoto froze Toga in place and tackled Twice.
"Move and I'll burn your face off."
"Did you already find your little boyfriend's body? He was so much fun to play with."
"But we still couldn't get him to come for us. He was too loyal to a stupid hybrid like you." Toga butted in.
"Is that true? Even after everything they did you still love me. Even if I wasn't able to get there quick enough to save you this time?" Talking to Izuku floating behind him still scared after what they did to him.
"Of course I still love you. I was worried they had got you and had hurt you too." He tried to hug him from behind failing in his ghostly form. The cops and other heroes showed up. They arrested Twice and Toga but now the teen monsters had a new problem. They had to tell their friends about what Izuku really was before his body goes up in flames and he comes back to life.
"So I know you guys probably already saw Izuku's body. But there's no reason to cry."
"No reason to cry. Your boyfriend was just raped and murdered. How could you of all people be saying there's no reason to cry."
"Because you know that secret we said we wouldn't tell you in less it was absolutely necessary and that it was Izuku's business if he wanted to disclose that information or not." Shoto said
"Well do you want us to tell them or not little bro?"
"They're going to find out in like thirty-five minutes any way you mise well give them some time to process before the actual thing." Izuku was blunt.
"Izuku is a phoenix. When he dies he turns into a ghost-like form where only people that have drank his blood can see him and hear him. But after an hour his body goes up in flames and he comes back to life with no scars or blemishes anywhere on his body proving he's never been hurt ever. We're sorry that we never told you it was just a personal thing for Izuku."
"Wait is he here? That means he's going to be okay right? Do you know how long until he comes back?" Everyone started to ask questions all at once. Katsuki and Shoto tried to answer them the best they could seeing as they were the only ones that could hear Izuku.
Eventually, everyone went back to the villain's warehouse to wait for Izuku to wake up. Once he was back from the dead the first thing he did was hug Shoto for real this time. Someone giving him a blanket and some clothes to cover up with.
"I missed you. I was so scared. I just wanted it to stop so I could see guys again." Izuku cried as the brave face he had put on broke.
"I promise I will never let someone hurt you ever again."
He only let Izuku go long enough for him to get dressed. Insisting on carrying Izuku home. Despite Izuku saying he was all healed and was therefore in better shape to walk than any of them. Izuku did like having the protection though. Everyone was a little more protective over their partners from that point on though. Izuku slept with Shoto that night. Too scared to be alone. He went to therapy twice a week once with Shoto and once with Katsuki for the next few months. Every night no matter if it was in Shoto's room or Izuku's they never slept apart.
