Chapter 1: Is that you, Deku?

Today, the students of Class 2-A would be training to sharpen the "special moves" that they had developed in preparation for the hero license exam during their first year. All was going well. Many of the students had grown tremendously during the short time they had spent under the tutelage of U.A's prestigious program, and their progress was certainly showing. Iida was able to maintain his maximum speed for up to twenty seconds now, nearly double the capacity he had during his first year. Uraraka had developed her gravity abilities to the point where the onset of nausea as a result of overusing her quirk came much slower than it used to, and she was now able to lift much, much more. Bakugou had completely mastered his long-range explosions. He was able to alter the severity and range of his blasts with ease, as well as being able to more consistently utilize maximum power explosions. Todoroki could now effectively utilize both of his powers simultaneously, and he was able to alternate between them with surprising speed and efficiency in the cases where he specifically needed one or the other. The young man who had grown the most however, was Midoriya. Since he had begun training directly with All Might, he had been able to grow more comfortable utilizing twenty percent of One for All. It was still slightly painful, but his body had developed and adapted in such a short time that he had become accustomed to it.

The student's hard work was suddenly interrupted by a crash as something, rather someone collided with a rock formation, then another, and one more after that in rapid succession. At first, the class speculated that either Midoriya or Bakugou had gone overboard during their training. This was not the case. The closest student to the area where the strange man had finally landed was Uraraka. She hesitantly approached, unsure of who this man was or whether or not he was an enemy. Upon further inspection, she noticed that this man was bruised and bloody, most likely the result of crashing through several formations of solid rock. He was also wearing an incredibly tattered hero costume, he seemed very familiar.

Suddenly, the man stirred, groaned, and stood up. Uraraka stumbled back, surprised that this man was able to move at all, let alone stand, brushing himself off as if nothing had happened. Noticing her, the man spoke. "Ah, young lady. You shouldn't be here. While I appreciate your bravery in checking to see if I was alright, there is still a powerful villain about." The man chuckled, taking several tentative steps forward that caused more pain than he expected, though he refused to show it. It wasn't just some powerful villain that he was battling, it was All for One. The wretched villian had escaped and was now operating at full capacity. It was his duty as the Symbol of Peace to stop him once again, just as All Might had.

After a moving around a bit more, the man realized that he didn't recognize any of his surroundings. He wasn't in the city anymore, and whatever he had crashed into felt suspiciously more like rocks than buildings. He rationalized that All for One, however powerful, couldn't have hit him that hard, could he have? Then, he recalled what he said during the briefing he had held before the fated battle ensued.

"We have an official location of All for One. This time he's going down once and for all." Detective Tsukauchi stated. "You heroes are to launch a surprise attack in full force. God only knows how many other villains he has gathered under his banner by now, we can't risk any of them getting away."

It was Deku who spoke next. "I am going to be leading the charge out there. All for One cannot be allowed to slip through our fingers again. Our spies have informed us that he has recently obtained an ability called temporal displacement, or as I like to call it, timewarp. This gives him the ability to send the target up to twenty years into the past, and although its effects are only temporary, you should avoid getting hit by it." His wife Ochako wasn't terribly excited about the idea of him leading the charge against that monster, but it was his battle to fight, and he wouldn't be alone.

After the briefing, the hero Deku had rushed headlong into his battle with All for One. The heroes had the advantage of both numbers and strength. Due to the severity of the situation, the top twenty heroes had gathered together to defeat this terrible foe. Some of the high ranking heroes attending were Bakugou, Todoroki, Iida, Kirishima, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, and Asui, to name a few.

"ALL FOR ONE" Deku roared, echoing the words of his predecessor. "No more games." The masked villain simply laughed at him. "So another wielder of One for All comes to fall before me, how fitting. None of those who have come before you have succeeded in stopping me, mind you." He taunted.

"I am well aware." Deku stated in a voice that dripped with pure menace. "And it is their power that I wield today. Come, have a taste of it! See how its grown!" He said as he surged forward, initiating the battle.

Deku was winning. He was twenty-seven years old and he had long since reached the peak of his power. All for One had no idea he'd be this strong, it was like he was fighting All Might for the first time, except he was far more careful and calculating. His subordinates weren't faring any better. They were quickly being defeated and detained by the heroes present, who all seemed to be, in their own ways, equally as fearsome as the Symbol of Peace himself. All for One was desperate. The practical battle applications of his newfound ability were limited to say the least. The only thing it could really do was buy time, and that's exactly what he needed. Pivoting away from a powerful roundhouse kick aimed at his right temple, he struck the Symbol of Peace with all five of his fingers. In an instant, he summoned forth the power of every single strength enhancing quirk he was carrying, as well as activating timewarp. Deku was thrown back harshly before disappearing completely with a strange *pop*. There would only be a few precious moments before that damned hero reappeared, but hopefully that would be all he needed.

The next Deku knew, he was on the other side of several rock formations, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Izuku Midoriya had been blasted eleven years into the past. He gazed at his surroundings, eventually recognizing them. He was at the training grounds at U.A high school. Meanwhile, Uraraka's mind was going haywire. Who was this man? What "powerful villain" had sent him crashing through three rock formations?! Were her friends safe? Was she safe? Why did he look so much like Deku? Deciding to give voice to these urgent questions, she first asked "Who are you?"

Crap. The young woman standing in front of him wasn't just any young woman, it was his wife. Everything within him wanted to be completely honest with her, as he had always been, but his was different. He had no idea what the repercussions would be if he accidentally released information before it was meant to be known. He would have to handle himself with care. Unbeknownst to him (old habits die hard I suppose), instead of answering her question he had sat down in a thinker pose atop one of the rock shards produced by his trajectory and started muttering to himself intensely.

"Oh my god." Uraraka whispered to herself. This was Deku. She had no idea how or why, but it was. Everything gave it away. The unmistakable and untamable bush of green hair, the freckles littering each of his cheeks, and the hero costume whose general design he had surprisingly remained true to. The only difference was that he was older, taller, and much bigger than the boy she was crushing on at the moment. It was as if a more slender version of All Might was wearing her friend's face. And to speak of his face, it was much more stern than it should've been, but still handsome nonetheless. She couldn't help but gawk at him. What was he doing here? How did he get here? How old was he? Was this really him? She was torn from her internalized game of twenty questions by the harsh and somewhat panicked voice of her homeroom teacher, Aizawa.

"Uraraka! Back away from him!" her teacher yelled, erasing the intruder's quirk. The entire class had gathered around in a semicircle, curious as to what exactly had occured. The strange man they saw finally stopped mumbling to himself (something that eerily reminded them of one of their classmates) and stood up. He gazed at each of them wearily, trying to gauge how old they were in order to determine how far back he had been sent. Izuku took off his gloves and released a tired sigh. Might as well get it over with.

"I'm sure you're all wondering who I am." He spoke, his voice that was extremely familiar to them in a way that they couldn't quite place. "My name is Izuku Midoriya. My hero name is Deku. I was fighting a villian with a temporal displacement quirk, the first we've ever encountered. He is also quite powerful. As you can reason, I've been sent back in time. Any questions?" There, he thought, that was brief and very vague. I only gave them my name and how I got here. No harm done, right?

The entire class, including even the teachers, was in a state of uproar. The man's words made so much sense and absolutely no sense at the same time. He spoke up again, silencing them. "If you don't believe me, you could administer a blood test. I've got the time, I think I'm gonna be stuck here for a while."

"What do you mean?" Aizawa asked coldly.

"The temporal displacement is only temporary, though we have no idea how temporary. I could be stuck here for just a few days, a week, or even a month before I'm suddenly pulled back to my own time."

"And how do you know this?" Aizawa responded

"My hero agency kept tabs on this villain before the raid. We are adamant that it is only temporary."

Suddenly, Bakugou interjected. "Like HELL you have your own fucking agency Deku!" In response to this the man laughed. It was a deep chested, hearty laugh that reminded them of All Might.

"I'll respond to any questions you guys have within reason, but not snide remarks from you, Kachan." Perhaps he was going to enjoy this just a little bit more than he should. "Oh, and here's my hero license for further proof of identity."

The younger Izuku was watching the whole scene unravel with unabashed confusion. This man looked like him, spoke like him, and even addressed his friends like him, but he still couldn't wrap his head around it. Before he could approach this man with further inquiries, affairs were cut off by Aizawa. "I'm sure you understand that we can't just take your word for it when you say you're one of our students from the future." Aizawa stated in a completely deadpan voice. "We'll be taking you in for some questioning and testing to see who you really are. By the way, we're gonna have to cuff you."

"I completely understand Sir Aizawa." the man responded, offering out his hands for restrainment. "I'm sure everything will be sorted out shortly."

The man was escorted into the nurse's office where blood work was done. To everyone's surprise, this man was in fact Izuku Midoriya. Recovery girl saw to his injuries, grumbling about how she already had one Midoriya to look after and he was a handful on his own. Now that his identity had been proven, Izuku was taken before detective Tsukauchi and All Might for some serious questioning. They hooked him up to a polygraph and began interrogating him. The questions were basic in the beginning, his name, his age, his favorite color. All things to calibrate the machine. Then, the more detailed questioning began.

"What is your hero rank"

"Rank one."

"When did you reach rank one status?"

"When I was twenty-one."

"What is your quirk"

"One for All."

"How long have you had it?"

"Since I was fourteen, when All Might gave it to me."

"How did you get here?"

"I was temporarily sent back in time by a villain with a time altering quirk."

"How do you know it's temporary?"

"My agency investigated him."

"What is the name of your hero agency?"

"Green Thunder."

"Catchy. How many sidekicks do you have?"

"I take after All Might more than I'd like sometimes, so none yet."

"Do you have a spouse?"

"Thats out of the blue."

"Answer the question please."

"Yes."

"What is their name?"

Izuku suddenly leaned forward onto the table, glaring directly into the detective's eyes. "Before I respond you have to promise me that the students will not be privy to this information. I like how my future is with her and I won't see it altered by the untimely release of information they shouldn't know yet." He said, looking around nervously.

"Of course." He Lied. The young Izuku Midoriya was on the other side of the one way glass.

"I am married to Ochako Uraraka."

The younger Midoriya froze.

"How long have you been in a relationship with her?"

"We've been together for almost eleven years, married for the last three."

The younger Midoriya was quaking in his oversized red sneakers. "I-I-I g-get m-married to U-Uraraka?!" he practically shouts.

All Might was next to him. "Easy there my boy. If he's been with her for eleven years that means you get together this year! Maybe this is fate." He says excitedly. Unbeknownst to everyone, he, Mic, and Aizawa had been silently supporting the couple since day one.

This was far too much for Midoriya to take in. Too much to digest. He decided he'd leave before he learned any more information he wasn't supposed to know yet. He wandered down the halls until he came to their homeroom, where his classmates were being held while the teachers sorted this out. Upon entering, he was greeted with as many questions as his older self was.

"Yeah guys. He's really me. Its weird. The blood test was a perfect match. He knows everything I do."

"Is that so?" Aizawa nonchalantly responded. "I wonder how we're gonna handle this." Immediately, he received a call from the principal, requesting he report to his office as soon as possible. Once all the teachers had gathered there, they met the adult Izuku Midoriya and were filled in on the situation.

"So you really are an aged up Midoriya, huh?" Present Mic asked, strutting around the man, giving him a once over. "You certainly look like him."

"Yes, he is indeed our student, albeit much older." The principal stated cheerily. Then, turning to Midoriya, he continued. "Since your identity has been confirmed, you now have permission to interact with our students. While you're here, we're going to be putting you to work. You will be assisting All Might in teaching class 1-A heroics."

"And the other teachers are alright with this?" Midoriya asked, turning to briefly lock eyes with each and every instructor in the room.

"Yes." The principal responded. "Your younger self has demonstrated more than an affinity for teaching his classmates about subjects they find difficult to grasp, and we can only assume this skill has developed further over the years."

"Well, as long as they support it, I'll do it." Midoriya said.

Meanwhile, in the unattended 1-A homeroom.

Midoriya couldn't even look at Uraraka without turning into a blushing, stuttering mess. It was like he had met her for the first time all over again. Back then, when he was initially smitten by her, he had worked as hard as he could to bury those feelings under the guise of "She's so pretty and cool, there's no way she'd ever like me. It's useless." Now these feelings were resurfacing for the first time in a while, and he was finding it difficult to cope. Uraraka, being his best friend and observant as she was, knew something was up.

"Hey Deku, are you alright? You seem kinda shaken up after meeting your older self. How are you holdin' up?"

"I-I-I'm fine Uraraka. T-Thank you for asking." Izuku answered, not even daring to look at her. Luckily for him, Iida pulled her away to speak for a moment.

"What is it, Iida? She asked.

"It's about Midoriya. You've noticed that ever since he met his older self he's been acting strange, especially around you. I have a theory as to why."

"What, do you think he learned that I died or something?" She asked, paling at the question.

"No, I don't think so. He'd be losing it if that were the case." Iida responded. "I'm just speculating here, but I believe he learned about a romantic future with you. That would explain why he's acting so strangely."

Uraraka was as red as a tomato. "H-How can you tell?"

"When the older version of Midoriya took his gloves off, I noticed he was wearing a wedding ring." he said. "And after that, he was taken in for some questioning by the U.A staff. An interrogation that our Midoriya witnessed. When using polygraphs, calibration is often required before serious inquiries can be made. This could include things like his quirk, his favorite color, and who he is married to." Iida said, a smile growing on his face.

"O-Oh." Was her only response, somehow blushing more intensely than before.

"I think it would be best if you gave him some space for now. Ask him about it once he calms down a little. Besides, you can't deny that there's something between you two, it's been there for a while." Iida said matter-of-factly.

This was a lot for Uraraka to take in. It wasn't that she was opposed to the idea of being in a relationship with Deku, she was just surprised that this was shoved into her face so suddenly. She had a strange feeling that burying her affections for her friend wasn't the best course of action, but she had no idea that it was pointless. Was she denying them both something they needed by pushing her feelings down? When she looked at Deku, she liked everything she saw, so why not go for it? It was decided. She would approach him once he settled down and she tell him how she felt, how she's always felt. Little did she know, Midoriya was coming to his own, very similar conclusions.

Uraraka and I get married. We get married. I marry my best friend. I get to be with my crush! Does this mean she likes me? How will I know? What if it's all a lie? I've already shattered the future once before, what if I do it again? A thousand irrational fears ravaged the poor boy's mind as he contemplated what he had learned today. He came to the conclusion that if this was the future had in store for him, something he certainly wasn't opposed to, then he would rush into it headfirst, just as he'd done with everything else.

That night, the older Midoriya decided to turn in early. Even though he had been winning, the fight with All for One had taken a toll on him, he was exhausted. He would need his rest if he was to teach with All Might tomorrow. This would be the first night in a while where he would be in bed alone. In the earlier days of their relationship, Izuku learned early on that Ochako was extremely cuddly, something he still appreciates to this day. He misses the feeling of her beside him . He sighs and places the ring on the nightstand to his right. What a day it's been.

He awakes the next morning as the first rays of sunlight pierce his eyes. He was habitually an early riser, but after such a big fight he preferred to sleep in a little. He reached for the ring on his nightstand and was delighted to find that it was still there. He hadn't broken the future yet, that was good news. As he went to put it on, he noticed something different about it. The skin on his ring finger is much more worn than he remembers it being. It was as if he's worn this ring for much longer than he recalls having done so. He removes it and upon further inspection he finds that the inside of the ring is different, as if he'd spent many more years wearing it than he'd been aware of. It was if something had changed overnight, and now he was curious.

The younger Izuku Midoriya awoke in his dorm room at a similar time. Even then, he was quite an early riser, usually taking advantage of the empty and bright mornings to get some training in before school. This morning however, he would spend contemplating everything that had happened the previous day. To say the past twenty-four hours had been bizzare would be an understatement. One shell shocking revelation came after another. He had learned that he would become the next symbol of peace, well maybe that hadn't surprised him all that much considering it was what All Might had been vetting him for the entire time. He had also learned that he would marry his best friend. Ever since they had started attending U.A, the two of them had practically been attached at the hip. She had done so much for him, saved him so many times and in so many ways, he couldn't help but develop romantic feelings for the girl. Yesterday, he had come to the shaky conclusion that he should finally pursue these feelings, but he had no idea how. He could ask All Might, but he seemed almost too supportive. He wanted someone who could provide more calmness and skepticism, and suddenly his friend Iida popped into his mind. Yes, Iida would be the perfect person to talk to about this.

Just as he opened his door to go about his daily routine, he came face-to-face with the object of his affections as she approached his room.

"H-Hey Uraraka, w-what are you doing here?" He asked, the nervousness in his voice as clear as day.

"Actually, I wanted to talk with you, can I come in?"

Iida had advised her to give Deku some space before approaching him about whatever was forming in between them, but the longer she waited, the more impatient she felt. Izuku stole his nerves as he answered her, willing himself not to stutter.

"Of course, Uraraka. Come right in."

He lead her into his All Might themed room and took a seat on his computer chair as she sat on the edge of his bed. "What did you want to talk about?" He asked. Maybe she just had questions about the homework that's due tomorrow. Maybe things could just return to normal between them.

"The older you was wearing a wedding ring, Deku." She stated, looking directly into his eyes. "I...I've had feelings for you for a while now, strong feelings, and when Iida told me about the ring I got so hopeful." Oh. She said to herself. She was full out confessing to him now. Oh well.

"I pushed aside my feelings for you as soon as I knew I had them." She lamented, looking at her feet dejectedly. "When I saw you during the license exam, you were so motivating, you were being such a great and amazing hero. I told myself that I could never possibly risk distracting either of us from our dreams with my feelings, but after I learned about the ring, it all came back to me again." The poor girl was on the verge of tears at this point, the first of which were about to make themselves known until a heavily scarred hand reached out and shakily took her own.

"I..I feel the same way, Uraraka." the boy said, almost in a whisper. "I've felt this way ever since I got to know you. You've done so much for me. You were the first person to look at me without disdain or pity in your eyes. You were the first real friend I ever had. You were the one who changed the demeaning label Kachan had given me into something I'm proud to use as my hero name. I couldn't help falling in love with you." Izuku said, smiling brightly at her. "I pushed down my feelings as well." he confessed, his mood sobering. He was also on the verge of tears, except he had much less self control. The waterworks threatened to activate in full throttle as he continued. "I was so sure that you would never return them, so I just buried it. I can't believe you feel the same way, I've never felt so happy in my entire life!"

In response to this, Uraraka latched onto him in a tight hug, the unexpected weight of her body sending them both to the ground in a fit of giggles. Despite just having confessed their long standing affections for each other, the physical contact of her lying atop him was far too much for either of them to handle. Turning bright red, Uraraka quickly dismounted Izuku, who was, by now, equally as flustered as she was. As the pair stood up, an unspoken agreement formed between them as they gazed deeply into each others eyes. They both leaned in, carefully, cautiously, unsure of how to continue but wanting to. Eventually, their lips met. The kiss was short and chaste, a simple peck. It was all they needed to express themselves, or so they thought. His lips were warm and gentle, very befitting of his personality. Hers were soft and sweet, as was everything else about her to him. One simple kiss turned into another, then a third, and then maybe just one more for the road.

"We should head down to breakfast." She giggled.

"Yeah, it's a big day today." Izuku responded, taking her hand once again as they headed towards the dorms kitchens. Their friends were in for quite a surprise. Izuku and Ochako quietly enjoyed each other's company as they made their way through the halls, entering the dorms kitchen. Unfortunately, they were blissfully unaware that they were still holding hands. A sudden squeal was heard. Two squeals, actually.

Mina and Toru were the first upon them. "It finally happened!" Mina said in a sing-songy voice. "We all KNEW you were in love, and most of us bet it was Midoriya!"

In light of recent events, neither of them were very embarrassed anymore. If it had come to the point of their friends betting on them becoming a couple, then they had already waited long enough. Uraraka smiled as she responded to her, taking this whole relationship thing in stride.

"Yep! We both confessed. I thought it would distract us, which is why we tip-toed around this for so long, but instead my head just feels a whole not clearer." Uraraka stated.

"Well I'd like to be the first to congratulate you two." Iida said as he approached the couple. They both gave him warm smiles in response. Izuku even went as far as to joke with him, saying "Uraraka told me about what you saw and said to her. You've officially earned yourself best man status." After that, there was more laughter, teasing, and joking between the couple and everyone else. This would have to be the new norm for them, and they were more than willing to get used to it.
