Two people forgotten by the world, one seen as utterly useless and one seen as too dangerous, meet by a chance of fate. They have seen the near end of civilization and live to tell about it despite the fact that the wheels of commerce and society still go on unimpeded. When they enter each other's lives, what will become of them and their secrets?

In the beginnings of his journey to heroism Izuku had his life forever altered one fateful night when he was taken by those who desired to ruin him. It had been nearly a year and half since that day, now on the run from both sides, he must gather some kind of life. Except fate may have an unexpected path for him to take with the right people by his side. (A sequel to Corruption)

In the year that Izuku Midoriya was taken from the life he knew and fought for and became forced into one filled with death and glory, there were countless small decisions which made to cement his path, be they of his own choice or not and on one horrible night things changed forever, yet what if on that night of the raid things went differently?

Fate was never on Izuku's side for most of his life, but he eventually caught a strand of hope when he met All Might, however those times before then still left a scar on his soul, one he hid well. But, what if someone found out about his pain and wanted to tear the wound open?

Two seconds. That was all the time it took for his life to go from bad to worse. If he hadn't chosen to stick around the bad part of town, if he hadn't snapped and yelled at that man for pushing him maybe things would be different. It doesn't matter now. Izuku was a murderer and there was no changing it.
