   Summary

   Merely days after getting attacked by a sludge villain, Izuku Midoriya is kidnapped by the Yakuza for his quirklessness. When the repercussion of not doing what he’s told is a little girl getting experimented on and tortured, Midoriya decides the only option is to obey regardless of consequences.

   One of these long-term consequences somehow became seeing his kidnapper as a father figure and not knowing how to make it stop. Overhaul’s constant praise certainly isn’t helping!!
