It took me two god-damn weeks to finish this chapter. Sorry about that. But now it's done with over 6,000 words and 11 pages. Yay.

Before we start, a big thanks to Karlos1234ify, IssacDaFreak456, Galaxy and the guest for the reviews.

Now a short summary of what happened last time on UH Academia.

Flashback:

I'm sorry, kid, but you can't be a hero.

I have something to talk about with you and your parents.

Hello Nezu ... I need help with finding a villain I lost.

I, Sans, want You, Izuku Midoriya, to inherit my quirk.

And the disclaimer:

Like always, I don't own anything, except maybe the story changes and the character changes? Does Sans count as mine? Nah, I don't think so. Meh. Where were we again? Right, disclaimer. Everything goes to its respective owner and/or creator.

Now have fun with the chapter and hear some music maybe, 'cause everything is better with music.


"Is everything alright, mom?" Izuku asked with concern.

"Yes, I'm fine, it's just a bit much, I mean, I know him for a long time now, at least for 20 years, but there were so many things I didn't know. Why didn't he tell me he had a brother, or that he's going to die in a few years? Aren't those things you would tell your friends? Doesn't he trust me enough?" Inko was scared for her friend, but she was also sad.

"Nonono, mom. I don't think he doesn't trust you enough. I'm sure he had his reasons for not telling you. We can ask him tomorrow if you like. He can explain himself then." Izuku suggests, trying to cheer his mother up.

"You're right. I'm overthinking things again. We should talk about that tomorrow. Though you have to explain one thing to me, honey. Why didn't you accept his offer? Isn't that what you always wanted?" Inko asked, interested in his reasons.

"Of course. Normally, I would, but it doesn't feel right. It's like Sans said, I didn't do a thing for my dream. Instead, I let everybody talk me out of it. He also said, I have the drive, but I don't have the body to carry it out. Of course, I would prefer nothing more than to accept his offer, but before that, I would like to become stronger. And that's exactly what I'm going to tell him tomorrow. Maybe he can help me with that." Izuku stated with a determined face.

"I understand. You know, it makes me really happy that you can live your dream now. I'm proud of you, Izuku." Inko stated happily.

"Thanks, mom."

After this conversation, Izuku left to his room to make homework and Inko sat on the couch and watched TV.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later at the evening with Sans~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Phew, that conversation went better than expected.' Sans thought as he teleported into his apartment.

Teleportation: An ability to teleport to a place the user knows about. Works only with Patience and Hope. Gained as the user searched patiently but full of hope for a safe place in a life and death situation.

"Welcome home Sansy." said a sweet voice from beside. "Do you want to take a bath... have dinner...or...do you want...Me?"

"You know, that one is reeeeeeeally old. What do you want, Ink?" Sans asked, annoyed as he turned on the lights. Although you could see he was just joking and happy to see his friend.

"Oh come on, don't be so grumpy because of lil' old me. Can't I visit my me-loving husband for fun?"

"Pff." Sans laughed slightly. "I'm not your husband. I mean, I'm not even considering us as friends. You're just a noisy nuisance at best."

"Man, you're no fun to tease, you know?" Ink replied.

...

...

And then, both started to laugh as they got into a hug to say hello to each other.

"Come here you walking paint box." Sans said as he brought Ink into a side-hug. "How have you been?" he asked.

"I'm fine thanks." Ink thought for a moment. "Ah, thanks for reminding me that I have to refill the colors. But how are you old-bone?"

"I'm alright, thanks for asking. Though you didn't answer my question. What do you really want here? You never visit without a reason. Or," his smile became smugly, "did something go wrong with your little 'side-project' and you need a shoulder to cry on?"

"Nah, don't worry. Everything is going well there. And I'm just here to see if everything is fine. How did the search for a successor go?"

"I found someone that's perfect to inherit my quirk."

"Let me guess, is it a boy with green hair and eyes?" Ink asked though it was already clear to him.

"Y-Yeah. How did you know?" Sans was surprised.

"He indeed is quite an extraordinary person, I guess. How do I know? Well, since this place is so far away, I had to make stops at some other worlds on the way. At one stop I saw some interesting places, though I couldn't enter them. It seems these are worlds I'm not allowed to interfere for some reason. But, I could take a peek at some of them. And in these worlds, I saw him very often in different forms and with different lives and powers. But what was always the same, is his intelligence and quick thinking. As I came here, I searched for him. I thought, if he exists in this world, too, and wants to be hero, then there is a good chance you want to make him your successor. And as it seems, I was right. Did he say yes already? Ohhh I'm so excited to see in what shape you are going to form him. I can't wait for it." Ink explained exited.

"He didn't say yes. He's not so sure about all that for now, but I will talk to him tomorrow again. Though that's not important for you, because You are going back home right now. I won't let you interfere here, nor let you see what's happening."

"Whyyyyy? That's not fair." Ink pouted.

"Because we have enough problems as it is now, even without you and your interference." Sans explained, getting a bit annoyed now.

"Ohhh, you mean Him, right? Did He do anything yet?" Ink asked much calmer.

"Yes, I mean Him. I don't know if He did anything yet and I don't care. If He did something, we have a problem, if not, that's good. But apart from that, you're just in the way. You have things to do, too, right? Your own places to be and to protect or something like that. You shouldn't be here and it is better if you aren't. So please, go home. Leave this place and it's problems with us, okay?" Sans explained everything to Ink as he puts his hands on Inks' shoulders.

"Alright, alright, I'll go. For now. But if you have problems you can't solve, I will come to your aid, okay old friend?"

"Yeah, do that. See ya, Ink."

"See ya, Sans. Greet him for me, will ya?"

"Alright, I will. Now go."

And so Ink took his brush, made a portal and traveled back to the place he calls his home. Meanwhile, Sans took out his phone and called someone.

"Hello?" the voice of Nezu asked.

"Yo, Nezu." Sans replied.

"Ah, good evening Sans, my friend. What have I done to deserve this honor?"

"Did Toshinori call you because of a villain?"

"Yes, indeed he did. With you asking that I suspect you were there when it happened?"

"I didn't see the whole fight though, I just saw the bottles fall down, but I didn't go after the villain. Sorry for that, though my priority was the boy, I mean, after what Toshinori said to him, the boy didn't seem that well. Don't worry, I took care of him. Did you send someone to look after the villain?"

"There is nothing to apologize for my friend. What you did was the right thing to do, well, in my opinion at least. I also sent Aizawa and Hizashi. They should find him until tomorrow."

"That was a good choice. I'll help them. It is my fault after all. But there are a few things regarding the information I gathered on that villain. First, apparently, he's called 'Sludge-villain', and that not without a reason. He's also a D-rank villain, though that might be a little underestimated. The boy, Izuku Midoriya, said, the villain wanted to take his body as a shield for himself, but he also felt like drowning. Therefore I assumed, when the villain enters someone, he cuts off all way for air supplies. I also asked some crooks in the neighborhood about him. As it seems, he's able to control another humans body and can force the owner to use his/her quirk. And I was also right with my assumption. They said, while he goes into the body of someone, that someone can't breathe, means he dies with an almost 100% chance and that's bad. Not just because someone could die if they're unlucky, but also because of what could happen to Izuku if he finds out that someone died, it was kinda his fault, too. I believe knowing that would break him. Because of that, I have to beg you to withhold that information for now. Nothing should leak out until we can catch the villain and secure any hostages he might've taken." Sans explained every information he gathered on the villain.

"I understand. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to withhold information like those, but you're right. This boy experienced enough for today. I won't make the information official, yet, but if you can't find him until tomorrow, I have to. Find him quick for the sake of the boy and let nobody die tonight."

"I will. That should be all for now. Thanks for your time, Nezu. Have a good night."

"You too, my friend. Goodbye."

"Bye."

Sans ended the phone call thinking 'Shit, we have to find that villain quick. I don't want to know how Izuku will react if he finds out that someone died because he made a mistake. And if I think about it, stupid Toshinori. Can't just say something like that to a civilian. What a hypocrite. After all, he is the one talking every time on TV about how everybody can be a hero if they want and if I remember correctly, back then, he was quirkless, too. Tch, Nana, where are you when we need someone to teach him a lesson because of his actions? Maybe I should call Sora. That senile old man might talk some sense into Toshinori. Or Chiyo. Well, is no good with lingering in the past. I should go now. Tonight's gonna be long and tomorrow won't go better, I can feel it.' He sent Nezu a picture of the villain, made the lights out and teleported to somewhere in the city.

~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere dark (Isn't it night? Shit)~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~At Some dark warehouse (Seems better...maybe)~~~~~~

You could see a throne out of stones with one man sitting in it. On the side were two people seen standing, while there were two other people kneeling before the throne.

"So...you want to help me with my cause?" the old voice of the man in the throne asked.

"Yeah." "Of course." the two voices kneeling before him replied simultaneously. You could hear that one was older than the other.

"And why is that?" he asked, though he didn't really care. They were two potential allies and, if it had to be, they were also good cannon-fodder.

"Well, you see, we both have a 'bone' to pick with someone, Heh Heh. Though we also hate All Might, and as we heard of you, we thought, it would be a good choice to combine forces with you. That's all." the older person answered.

"I just want revenge for what that smiling shitbag did to me all those years ago. I heard he was last seen here. That's why I'm here." the younger one explained.

"Very well. So be it. My apprentice shall take you to the base. But you may have to wait for your revenge. We need to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. Or else we are doomed to fail. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever. Take your time. I'm leaving for now." the younger one said as he disappeared in the ground.

"Why you little...Come back here you shitty...Argh." one of the people on the side shouted as the younger one disappeared.

"Come down boy." the other kneeling person advised. "I'm sorry for the inappropriate behavior of my friend. He doesn't really like waiting long that much, so please, forgive his impatience. But I have something to do tomorrow, so I shall also take my leave now. I hope to speak to you soon again. Goodnight." He stood up, bowed slightly and went through the door of the warehouse into the cold and dark of the night.

"I don't like these two, sensei." the student said.

"I don't know, Tomura. They seem like interesting people to play with." All for One replied as something like a grin appeared on his destroyed face. "Kurogiri, I want you to look after him tomorrow. Make sure we don't lose an ally, alright?" he ordered the mist-man.

"Yes, sensei, of course." he opened a portal and he and Tomura made it back to their base.

"You shouldn't trust new recruits so easy." a calm but cruel-sounding voice said out of nowhere.

"Don't worry. I won't."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next day 7 am~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Report of the searching~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After searching for almost the whole night neither Present Mic, Sans, I nor the other heroes found any clues about the whereabouts of the sludge-villain. We searched in a ten-kilometer radius in teams of two, but the only clues we found were the empty bottles. It was easy to follow his trail thanks to Hound Dog though it went directly into the sewers. Of course, we were trying to follow it, but Hound Dog lost the trail as soon as we arrived at the first diversion. Although it isn't rational to let a villain go away, it seems we have to wait for tomorrow since then there are more heroes available. Of course, I will continue searching.

'That's not good. If not even Hound Dog can find him there, we have a problem. Should I make it official? I don't like it, but I have no choice. I'm sorry, Sans and Izuku. I hope we can catch him faster that way. He has to come out at some time. He can't use the same body forever without knowing their daily routine or family and friends. I hope someone will see him. That way, we should catch him faster.' Nezu thought as he reads Aizawa's report in the morning.


The morning of everyone else was uneventful and normal like always. Izuku and his mother ate breakfast. He made himself ready for school after that. Sans was making a break in a bar/restaurant eating, while Aizawa was still searching for the villain, though he was an underground hero, normally working under the dark of the night. Nezu successfully made contact with a local news-agency to make the information about the Sludge-villain official and Toshinori was still asleep.


The day went on as usual. More heroes were put on the case, but the sludge-villain was a very tricky villain, using other humans as vessels for himself as not to be seen. At noon, Toshinori woke up and got to work sometime later. Aizawa went home to sleep a bit, thanks to Hizashi. At 3 pm, while Toshinori was done with his time without finding the villain anywhere, Izuku was done with school. At that time, the news-agency Nezu contacted had uploaded the news about the missing villain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~With Izuku~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Ahhh, finally done for today. And the best thing, Kacchan even left me alone today. Maybe mom will make Katsudon for me.' as he thought that, Izuku came across a television store, where the news was played. Izuku was always interested in the news because it normally meant that some hero had fought against a villain and they would show the fight at which he could take notes, or in some other cases the news showed a fight that was happening at the moment so he would know where it was and if it was safe to go there to see it. He didn't expect it to be some normal news instead and not a fight.

"Breaking News." the television said in bold letters.

"According to the principal of U.A., Nezu, there is a villain on the run. All the information we have for now is, that the heroes couldn't catch him until now although he is on the run since yesterday. It appears he has a quirk that lets him use other humans as disguises so he could be anywhere and as anyone. Apparently, he can also use the persons quirk against their will. We don't know exactly what happens to the people he used. The principal was pretty vague about that information. All citizens are called upon to report anything unusual to the police or any nearby hero agency. When you see him, stay away and call for help. I repeat, stay away and call for help. He may act rash and nervous around heroes, but with the right body and quirk, he can be really dangerous. Here is a picture of how he looks."

Izuku was shocked. If not even the heroes could catch him, it had to be a smart villain. And with that kind of quirk a very dangerous one, too. But what shocked him the most was how the villain looked. It was the same villain that tried to use him as a body shield.

'N-No that ca-can't be. How is that possible? All Might caught him yesterday. How did he escape? Wait, don't tell me...Oh no.' Izuku remembered how he clung at All Might's legs. 'The bottles must have fallen out then. That means...Oh no no no, that's my fault. I'm so stupid. Wait. If that villain is out there, using someone's body to hide, what happened to that person? I felt like dying after only a short amount of time. Does that mean,' he started to shake, 'Does that mean someone's dead? No no, that can't be, right? Nobody's dead because of me, right? I'm not a failure. I'm not a failure. He's just hiding without using someone else. Please, let it be this way, please.'

Izuku wasn't just shaking now anymore. With every second he thought about it, he started to hyperventilate more and more. His eyes radiated pure shock, horror, and fear. He didn't want to believe it, but it seemed very clear to him. Someone maybe died because of his mistake. That was the only possible truth in his eyes. After a few minutes standing there, shaking, Izuku came out of his own mind as an explosion went off not too far away from where he was standing. Izuku didn't want to go, but as it was his fault, he had to make sure he wasn't right with his assumption. On the way, he remembered the reporter saying that they don't know anything about what happened to the people while used, means, either the principal didn't know about that, or he didn't say anything about it so he wouldn't cause mass hysteria.

After a few minutes of running, he arrived at a shocking scene. Everywhere was fire and debris were lying around. The police had secured the scene, but a crowd of people had already gathered around the barrier tape. Not far away, he saw an ambulance with someone in it. Before he could search for the villain, he made his way to the ambulance where he saw a paramedic. As they made eye contact, Izuku asked if everything was alright. The paramedic wasn't allowed to inform a citizen about the condition of a patient, but as he saw the fear in the boy's eyes before him, he gave him a warm smile and said:

"Everything is alright. As it seems this person was used as a vessel to hide from the heroes, but don't worry, he's still alive. It seems he had a quirk that allowed him to breathe without lungs, so he wasn't in danger. You see, no need to worry. If I'm honest, I'm more worried about the other hostage. He seems to have an explosion quirk that's meant to be used for attacking, not for keeping the user alive without breathing. I don't know how long he can keep going. It also seems that the heroes can't help, because the villain is randomly activating the boy's quirk. But I believe they will save him soon. They aren't heroes for nothing, right?"

With that little talk, he wanted to distract the boy from the injured person, but what he didn't know was that it made things even worse for Izuku.

'An explosion quirk? Doesn't that mean...No, it can't be, why would he even...' Izuku's fear was getting bigger and bigger. He looked back at the scene and indeed, even if it was for a short time, he saw Katsuki Bakugo's face. Without thinking, his mind switched off and he ran. He ran as fast as he could towards his friend who was in need of help.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile with All Might~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I'm so pathetic. Why now? Why does something like this have to happen after my time ran out? I should've focused entirely on finding that villain and not on defeating some low-level crooks. And now this boy is in danger because of that. Pathetic...I'm...so...pathetic. Didn't I tell that fanboy a hero always risk his life if it means to save someone? And now I'm standing here watching, waiting for someone who can help with that villain, like everyone else. And I...What?' he thought as he was standing at a lamp. He was surprised to see someone, no, the boy from yesterday running into the danger.

He was able to hear Death Arms shouting something like "Stop. You'll get yourself killed." as he transformed into his buffed-up Form. He was angry. Angry at the villain, who fled, angry at the heroes that couldn't find him in time, angry at the boy whose fault it was in the first place and who was running into the danger without a quirk. But most importantly, he was furious at himself, for blaming others, for losing a villain and for treating a civilian like he was just someone whose hopes and dreams where nothing at all, for not doing as he said himself and for letting someone else do his job. He was angry at everything he did in those two days. But he was also proud. Proud on the boy that was running before his very eyes. The boy that did something, not even he could at that moment, he rushed into danger to save someone without thinking about it, without hesitating. Because of that boy, something in All Might switched. He remembered every time he saved someone, how he handled the villains and the civilians, how he treated the boy and how he was working normally. And he disgusted himself.

As Izuku was running, his mind was almost blank. He wasn't thinking about why it happened or why he ran. The only thought he had was 'How do I save Kacchan?'. He then remembered what he had written in one of his notebooks about Kamui Woods and threw his backpack at the sludge-villain's eye. The villain was dazed for a bit, allowing Izuku to take Katsuki's hand. He started pulling, but the villain regained his senses faster than planned and tried to punch Izuku away. He didn't even get close to that as All Might leaped into the punch, securing Izuku and Katsuki on the way. He said "Even though I berated you, I didn't do as I preached. I'm sorry."

All Might tried to punch the villain, but before he could render him incapable, the villain was attacked by a white beam of light, which blew him up and scattered his entire body throughout the alley but did not kill him.

"Everything alright?" Sans asked as he jumped down from a Dragon-Head-Like Skeleton, that disappeared immediately.

"What did I miss?" Erasure Head asked after securing Izuku and Katsuki with his capture gear.

As the fight was over, the press arrived. With that Sans disappeared and All Might and Erasure Head were left alone to deal with them, to Aizawa's chagrin. As a result of his actions, some heroes lectured Izuku about how dangerous these were and how he could've died because of that, while other heroes praised Katsuki for his quirk and that he had gotten through the situation alive. After that, they were free to go home, though All Might and Erasure Head were still busy with the press, although All Might just searched for an opening to vanish and talk to Izuku.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to Izuku~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Phew, luckily, nothing happened. I'm just glad that nobody was seriously hurt by that villain, although, where did Sans go? All Might was still busy with the press, too, so I couldn't apologize to both of them. What a shame, well I can always write an e-mail to All Might's agency and Sans is coming to us later so I can apologize to him then. I hope Kacchan isn't to mad about what happened. I really was useless back then. Hopefully, they don't hate me now. Speak of the devil, wasn't he riiiight behiiiinnnd, oh shit, I'm doomed.' Izuku thought as he took a look behind him, just to see Katsuki running his way, now screaming "Dekuuuu. Come back here you little shit. We have to talk."

With that Izuku stood still and as Katsuki arrived, Izuku said "Hey Kacchan. Sorry, uh, for all that. I -"

"You did nothing to help, so I don't owe you shit, you hear Deku, I owe you nothing." Katsuki interrupted him.

"W-What?" Izuku asked confused. "Of course you don't owe me anything. I didn't do anything to help. I was just in the way for anyone, a hindrance."

"So you finally -" Katsuki started.

"But that isn't important," Izuku stated with his head down, but directly after that looking up, now with his head held high and eyes radiating determination. "I made a mistake and people were hurt because of it. Even a friend was hurt. It wasn't my first mistake and it won't be my last, but I want to improve. I don't care what you think about me or what anybody else thinks about me. There are people out there, believing in me and I don't intend to let them down. Hate me as much as you want, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm going to be a hero, with or without your help."

"Tch, whatever, Deku. Just get out of my way. I'm out, bye." Katsuki answered rash on Izuku's statement, turning around and going in the opposite direction of where he lived.

Izuku just shook his head and kept going home, not seeing All Might and Sans standing in the corner, watching him as he left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A few minutes earlier~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After talking to the press for a while, All Might finally found an opening and leaped away, leaving Erasure Head alone to deal with them. All Might searched for quite some time as he heard Izuku and Katsuki talking. He stopped, wanting to surprise Izuku after he finished his talk with the other boy. Before that though, he felt a hand on his arm, making him look down to see Sans standing there, smiling as always. With seeing a friend, he deflated not wanting to overuse any more of his already fading power.

"Hello Sans. Thanks for the help back there," he said sarcastically.

"Yeah, sorry, Toshinori. I don't like the press very much and they don't need to know who I am, for now. Though I have a question." his smile became menacing. "What do you want from Izuku?"

"Heh heh." Toshinori sweated slightly. "So you know Young Midoriya, too? What a surprise."

"Yeah, I know his parents. But that didn't answer my question. What do you want from him? You weren't that nice to him yesterday."

"So you know about it?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I want to apologize to him. You're right, I wasn't very nice to him yesterday. I was foolish and selfish. And I was arrogant. In all that time you and my master were away, it seems I lost the knowledge on how to be a proper hero. That being a hero isn't all about punching the teeth out of some bad guys, but also about helping and I did the opposite yesterday. That boy showed that to me today, so I want to apologize and to thank. And I want to ask him to be my successor." Toshinori explained.

"I understand. Though, if I were you, what I certainly am not, I wouldn't rush it like that. I talked to him yesterday after you left him alone on the roof. He has some serious problems with realizing what he can do after being bullied for so long. Maybe a bit of an inferiority complex, I don't know. I'm no psychologist. The point is, he has to think for himself now about his future. He made the first step by talking to his bully. Give him the time he needs. Let him go to U.A. in two years, then ask him. If you want to apologize, though, you can come with me. I want to go to his home anyway." Sans offered.

"Maybe you're right. I still have plenty of time. He needs to train his body for One for All, though. Can we at least do that?"

"That was the plan. I wanted – Wait." Sans took a few sniffs of the air. "Do you smell that?"

"Do I smell what?"

"It smells like...fire? Where...?"

"Here you two are." Erasure Head was pissed beyond anything, but he turned confused as soon as he saw Sans sniffing in the air.

"Shush, Shota. I have to concentrate." Sans said.

...

...

"There it is. We have to go in that direction. Wait, oh no, on this way lies Izuku's home. Shit, I hope it's nothing major. But we have to hurry. Jump on." Sans panicked slightly as another Dragon-Head appeared.

Toshinori and Erasure Head hopped on the head and together they flew in the direction Sans showed them before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to Izuku (again)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Izuku was almost at home as he smelled the fire. Because of that he hurried, worried that it could be the house he lived in. As he arrived, he already saw a large group of people, mostly consisting of residents of the burning house. He was relieved that it wasn't his home, but he was also worried for the residents. After checking on everyone, he was glad to see that all people were out of the building, but as he overheard a conversation between Mitsuki Bakugo, the mother of Katsuki, and a paramedic, his blood froze. Apparently, his mother was still in the building. She was at Mitsuki's just to visit her friend, but as the alarm went on, she was on the toilet. That was at least what Mitsuki thought, but as she looked after her, she was nowhere to be seen, so she took it that Inko was already out there, waiting for her. As time went on, Inko wasn't there, so Mitsuki believed, she was still in the house, somewhere. The problem was, the gas boiler was almost completely on fire, exploding any second. Izuku although didn't hear anything from that, because again, his mind went blank, focused only on finding his mother. Without another thought, he ran into the burning house, not reacting on the worried shouts of the medics, Mitsuki and the residents. He couldn't breathe properly, but he was in the Katsuki's apartment in no time. There he shouted after his mom, hoping to find her that way. As he listened between his shouts and the crackle of the fire, he heard a silent shout. A shout after his name. He was relieved to hear his mom alive and he went to where he had heard the shout coming from, the kitchen. As he arrived there, the only thing he saw, was very much smoke, burning furniture and his mother on the ground with a bleeding leg.

"I-Izuku, i-it is re-really you," Inko said weakly.

"Yeah, mom, it is me. Don't worry, I'll get you out of here." Izuku was scared for his mother's life, but he was determined to bring her to safety. With some effort, he got his mother on his back and he started walking towards the exit, but, he was very slow, he almost didn't move at all. And at this moment, they both realized, they did something wrong in their life. Izuku remembered, what Sans said to him and he hated himself and him for being right about it, Inko on the other hand, regretted that she let herself go after her husband left.

"Izuku." his mother started calmly. "It is alright. You don't have to save me. Let me go and run. Safe yourself, I beg you."

"No, I won't leave you here. I will save you, I promised, right?"

"Oh Izuku, why do you have to be so stubborn? Just let me down already." Inko didn't want to die, but she always would give her life if it meant that her son, her little Izuku would be safe. This was something she owned him as his mother.

Izuku though didn't want to let his mother die on such a way. No, he didn't want her to die at all. She was the most precious person in his whole life, he couldn't lose her. Not after he found a way to be a hero. He took all his power and moved a bit, but as soon as he stepped on a wooden plank, a support beam came crashing down, pushing both of them on the ground, crushing Inko's other leg in the process. She cried out because of the pain and Izuku was at a loss. He didn't know what to do. He wasn't strong enough to push it away from his mom, neither was there someone else to help. Maybe All Might or Sans were already on the way, but it could be minutes until they would arrive, and they didn't have minutes. Although he knew you couldn't, he tried. He tried to push the heavy beam away, but it didn't even move a single centimeter. Both of them were already crying because of the pain, the physical pain, but also the emotional pain. It was very hard to breathe for both of them and Inko knew, if her son would stay with her he would most likely die with her, so did what she could best as a mother, she took his hand and said: "Stop it, Izuku. We both know it's too late. My legs are destroyed and neither you nor I can move me away."

"But - "

"No buts, honey. Please," she started to cry even stronger. "don't make it so difficult for me, okay? I made mistakes I can't take back, but I want to help you on your way. I know you can be a good hero."

"Mom, please." Izuku also was crying very much now, the hope that his mom would survive slightly fading from his eyes.

"Shush now, let me speak, please. I know that you didn't want to take it, but please, as a last wish, take Sans quirk. I know you could make a great hero without, especially with Sans' help, I just want the reassurance that you're safe, that you can protect yourself against any foe without the help of others. Please Izuku, please do that for me, will you?"

"I-I, I will, mom. Just for you, I'm going to take his quirk. But can't we speak about that together, after all of this is over. Please mom," his voice barely a whisper, "don't leave me. I don't want to lose you, I can't lose you. You can't leave me now. Not after everything we learned, everything we did. P-Please, I b-beg you."

"My precious little Izuku. I'm sorry you have to go through this. But -" both could hear the staircases breaking and falling down on the ground level. "As it seems, we have no time anymore. Please Izuku, get strong and be another symbol to everyone out there that lived as you lived. I'm sorry I couldn't be the mom I should've been. Goodbye, my lovely son."

With one last effort, she pulled at every ounce of strength she could gather in her body and held her hands high in the air, pointing her palms at Izuku and the window behind him. As she activated her quirk, Izuku was begging that she let him stay with her until help arrives, not realizing that no help will come in time. After being on the ground at one moment, Izuku was now in the air, flying through a window, screaming for his mom.

In the last effort to save her son, Inko discovered a new aspect of her quirk, she couldn't just pull objects to her, but, apparently, she could also push them away.

With one last look at her son, with eyes full of sorrow, sadness and regret, Inko Midoriya closed her eyes, remembering everything she did in her life, regretting every second she didn't believe in her son, thinking as a last wish that she hoped her son would be saved, that he could become a hero like he always wanted to become and that Sans would take good care of him, as she awaited the inevitable explosion of the house and her unavoidable death.


Soooooooooooooo, that's it for today, I guess. Please don't hate me. I'm sorry.
