So once again with the author's notes. I know I'm sorry. So it's been pretty split down the middle of the in terms of what I should do for the parring, so here's what I'm going to do, this story will remain a single pairing. However, I'm going to be posting a new story "Daredevil Deku" within the next couple of days. That will be a rare pair harem, I'm thinking Saiko Intelli, Reiko Yanagi, and probably Pony Tsunotori. Just an idea that's open to adaptation. I've always disliked when everyone falls in love with the main character within the first few chapter's so it'll probably be a slow burn harem. That was all, next chapter will probably not have an author's note so you can just skip straight to the story.

Please feel free to leave any reviews that you guys/gals/cisgender pyro foxes want to leave. I appreciate every one posted. They can be good, bad, or ugly it doesn't bother me.

"I deem you worthy of my power." Those words rang in his head over and over. Swirling around like a typhoon, never quite slowing down and destroying every other thought he had.

What was All Might talking about? Being worthy of his power? That should be impossible! Quirks can't be passed on from person to person!

He had so many questions to ask, yet all that came out was a simple "Y-Your power?" Not his proudest moment but then again... neither was any of what happened today.

All Might's head shot back as he let out a chuckle. "What's with that face? It's just a suggestion. The real show starts after this." He walked closer raising one hand and pointed at the sky, his grin still firm on his face.

"Listen, young man. You need to decide whether or not you'll accept my power!" He brought his finger down to point at the young boy. Trying his best to look cool despite the blood that rocketed from his mouth.

'W-What is All Might even saying?'

"I'm talking about my quirk, young man. The Tabloids called it "superhuman strength" or a "boost," and I constantly dodged the question during an interview with a funny joke." His face fell solum as if a heavy burden was placed back upon his shoulders.

"Because the symbol of peace, All Might, had to be a natural born hero."

"But young man I'll tell you the truth. My quirk was passed on to me like a sacred torch."

Was All Might messing with him? He had a feeling that he was. "It was passed on to you...?"

"That's right young man. And next is your turn."

"Wait! I get that your quirk is a mystery. So much so that there's always someone online talking about it, but, well, I'm not really getting it when you say your quirk was passed on to you." Izuku Midoriya had just entered mumble mode.

It took a while and an explanation of the quirk, and its origin for All Might to bring the boy out of his mumbling.

"Why? Why are you giving me something so amazing?!" All Might let out a gentle smile before answering. "I have been looking for a successor. And then I thought it would be alright for you to inherit it. You may have been a powerless fanboy, but you were more heroic than even the pros."

Midoriya's eyes teared up. Letting out a small whimper at the idea of obtaining this power.

"Never mind! Well, it's up to you, though. What'll you do?" Midoriya's hand clenched against his pant's. He wanted to accept, but this was probably a joke. All Might must be messing with him. There was no way you could pass on quirks! All logic pointed to this being a horrible prank, yet a small part of him believed that this was his only chance to achieve his dream.

'No there's no reason for this to be a joke. There's no reason to refuse.' He stood up eyes firm with resolve. "I'll do it."

All Might smiled commenting about how he knew that was going to be his answer.

Midoriya was ready, and nothing was going to stop him now.

...
Ring, Ring, Ring.

They looked at each other.

Ring, Ring, Ring.

"Are you going to answer that?" All Might asked.
"OH! Uh, Yea.

"Phone call from 'The wannabe Tony Stark.'"

"Shit."

It was at this moment Midoriya knew... He fucked up.

With a shaky hand, Midoriya reached into his pocket, slowly drawing out his phone. He gulped as he hit the accept button.

"H-Hello...?" The scream from the other side made both the present and future pro heroes shake in fear, for hell has no fury like an enraged mother, or in this case partner/wife. Depending on who you asked of course.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!? DOING SOMETHING SO RECKLESS! WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ALL MIGHT WASN"T THERE?!" He quivered giving a shaky reply in return. "I-I guess you saw the new's h-huh?"

"Did I see. OF COURSE, I SAW THE NEW'S YOU IDIOT!"

"Mei-chan calm d-down. Ther-There's no reason to get upset. It-it was just a big accident. I swear!" He couldn't remember the last time Mei had yelled at him if you excluded her excited shouts when they made a breakthrough on an invention. Now that he thought about it, this was the first time.

"Don't you Mei-chan me! I know for a fact that you ran in there! How reckless can you possibly be?!"

Despite her not being on speaker phone All Might could hear everything the girl was saying. Needless to say, he was terrified for his successor.

Forcing himself into his muscle once more he called out to the girl.

"Excuse me, miss! I AM HERE! I can assure you that what this young man did was..." "Is that All Might? Put him on the phone." She did not sound as excited as she should have been.

With a shaky hand, he handed the phone to the pro hero, giving him a sad smile as he did so.

"Hello, there young lady! It is I All Might!" He was cut off before he could continue. Holding the phone at arm's length as she yelled at him.

"THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING! WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM YOU, IDIOT!"

It was very rare that All Might shook with fear. In fact, he could probably count the number of times on one finger. Now was one of those times.

"I-I can assure you he was in no danger! I-I wouldn't allow h-him to get hurt! Of t-that, I can p-promise you!"

It continued like this for a while before she finally calmed down enough to let them go. Not before leaving Izuku with the ominous words of "We are going to talk about this tomorrow."

"W-Was that your mother?" All Might's shaky voice barely registered in his mind.

"Worse... My partner."

At Dagoba Beach, there was a rather odd sight. A young boy was desperately trying to pull a refrigerator while the number one hero sat on top of it, all the while a pink haired girl yelled about how many babies she could make with all the scrap he was hauling.

It had been hard to convince All Might to let the young girl in on his secret training, but eventually, he was granted permission.

They had to be careful with what information they disclosed to her. Luckily Midoriya was able to convince her that All Might just took a liking to him and decided to help him train. She had been skeptical at first, but once she saw all the scrap she could use in her babies, she quickly forgot her doubts.

Still, he felt terrible for not telling her.

She had been a constant in his life for the last year. Always there for him, supporting him even when his own mother gave up. She was his best friend, but he couldn't just tell her. That would betray All Might's trust.

His footing slipped as he collapsed to the ground. Groaning in pain from his strained muscles, he staggered to his feet.

"If you could move it even a little, it would be easier." He glanced back at the number one hero, scoffing slightly in his mind. "It would help if an extra 274 kilograms would get off of it." All Might glanced away mumbling about how he only weighed 255 in this form.

"Anyway, why am I hauling trash at this beach?"

"It's because your body isn't ready to hold the power of One For All. You did some decent training in the past but nowhere near enough for you handle it properly." All Might whispered, glancing over to the pink haired girl running around the landfill. He snapped a few pictures of the boy when Midoriya followed his eyes towards Mei.

"My quirk, "One For All," is the fullest physical abilities of many people gathered into one. An unprepared body cannot inherit it fully. The limbs will come off, and the body will explode."

...

..!

"My limbs will explode?!" He looked to his right seeing Mei staring at him with a curious and concerned stare. He shook his head lightly quelling his panic. "So I'm picking up trash to train my body?"

"That's right young man! But that's not all... After some research on the internet yesterday, I discovered that part of this beach's coast has been like this for many years." He tapped the side of the refrigerator, putting a rather large dent in it.

"Yeah... Because of this beach's weird current, objects drift here a lot. People use it as an illegal dumping site for years. It still doesn't explain the truck though." All Might glanced to the side. 'Yeah... How did that even get there?

Did they even want to know?

All Might gave a small cough before turning his attention to the fridge. "Heroes these days are all after showy stuff. Originally, being a hero meant doing volunteer service. Even if people called that boring or whatever. You can't waver from those roots." His hand pushed down flattening the fridge and blowing away the trash in his general area.

"You will restore the horizon for this whole section! This is your first step towards becoming a hero!"

At that time all he could do was nod at his hero and shout out "Yes sir!"

And so it continued like this, working day and night on his training. In the mornings he would go to school and study, lifting weights in the process. After it was over, he would haul the trash to Mei's garage, both daughter and mother were ecstatic about the idea of using it in their inventions... Her father less so.

At night he would return home to study and train more, his body rapidly changing into a proper vessel. Then he would wake up and do it all again.

The kids at school had apparently taken notice of it as well. A few turned up their cruelty towards the boy in an attempt to force him back under their thumbs, but to no avail.

It was weird to see the meek boy suddenly turn into the lean muscled young man they saw before them. He was more confident now, only slightly but it was there.

There was only one problem with his current training.

He hadn't told Mei what it was for.

He had told her he was training for the Hero Course sure, but it didn't mean he told her about One For All. It ate him up inside to know he couldn't tell her the truth.

Still, All Might requested that he keep it a secret, and he wasn't about to betray his trust.

But did that give him the excuse to betray Mei's?

He wasn't sure, but he hoped the opportunity to tell her would come soon.

Today was one of the few days he had off, and of course, he would spend it with Mei. The massive piles of scrap that sat in the middle of her garage being used in their latest invention. "The Quick Shot" as Mei had so affectionately named it was a mass of hammered steel plates cobbled together in a mock version of a wrist-mounted cannon. The creation itself wasn't capable of firing very fast, but once it did he didn't think even All Might would be quick enough to move out of the way.

He smiled as he glanced over at the barely standing form of Mei. With the near limitless supply of materials that she now had access to she had yet to take a break. Her parents had been worried sick, well her father had been, Midoriya glanced at her mom who was in the same state. At this time Mei's father peeked in before turning to the younger boy.

"Did it work?" It was referring to the melatonin that they had slipped into both of the women's drinks. Midoriya gave a small nod as the man sighed and stepped into the room.

At once both men turned and picked up their partner and carried them to their rooms. The looked at one another as Midoriya said goodbye. Promising to return at a later date.

The father responded by telling him he was always welcome.

His training went on like that for a while, besides one incident where he pushed himself too far but he preferred not to mention that.

And as All Might neared the beach, he was surprised to see Midoriya roaring into the sky in triumph. Standing atop a mountain of trash he stood defiant of the world around him. All Might was so surprised that he failed to notice the pink haired girl standing next to the boy and cheering.

"Hey, hey, hey... He even cleaned outside where I told him to! Seriously?! There's not even a speck of dust left! Seriously?! He finished at the last minute! More than perfectly! Oh my... Oh my... Goodness! Holy freaking super crap!"

The boy's body started to stager before he fell off the side of the trash heap. All Might moving to catch him before he hit the ground. Neither of them paid attention to the shell-shocked girl who had just watched a skinny man she had never seen before turn into the number one hero.

"I-I did it All Might." The pro smiled down at his successor, nothing but pride filling his chest. "Yeah, you really surprised me, young Midoriya. You teenagers sure are amazing!"

He held up his phone showing the boy a picture of himself before he started training. Needless to say, the boy had come a long way.

The flabbergasted Mei was still ignored.

"You have indeed become a suitable vessel for my power!"

A shaky smile spread across Midoriya's face as he glanced down at his hand. "I feel like I'm cheating... You did all of this for me... I'm too blessed..." Tears began to stream down his face.

All Might leaned up and plucked a hair from his head. "This is something I was once told: "Something that you received because you're lucky and something that you are given because you are recognized are different in essence." Take that to heart. This is the power you've earned because of your own effort.

Midoriya looked on in amazement his hand coming up to wipe the tears from his eyes.

"EAT THIS!"

Then his face went dead.

"Huh?"

All Might scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Listen, kid; you have to ingest some of my DNA if you want my quirk."

Suddenly a scream was heard as Mei came barreling towards them.

"YOU CAN GIVE PEOPLE YOUR QUIRK?!"

This was really not good.
