Inko Midoriya had been cleaning up the sitting room when the house phone rang. She hurried over to the other side of the room to where it lay on its stand and picked it up, clicking the answer button. 'Hello?' she asked into the phone.

'Is this Inko Midoriya?' came the reply only a few seconds later.

'Yes' she said, becoming quickly concerned with the man on the other end.

'We are going to need you to come to the hospital quickly, your son has been shot' the man replied, calmly.

Inko immediately dropped the phone and ran out of the house. She had never ran so fast in her life to get to the hospital, which was only a ten minute walk from where she and her son stayed. Those ten minutes were cut down to a mere three because of how fast Inko was running to reach her son's side.

Upon reaching the hospital, she quickly went to reception and demanded, more rudely than she had intended to, that they tell her where her son was. The receptionist told her that he was currently undergoing surgery so she would have to go to the waiting room until he was ready to have visitors.

Six hours passed before she was able to go in and see him. She followed the nurse that came to get her all the way to her son's room. She entered and immediately rushed to his bedside. He had not awoken yet, the doctor said that it may be another day or so. He also mentioned that Izuku had been lucky that the bullet did not hit anything vital like his lungs or his heart, and that he should make a very quick recovery.

Inko thanked the doctor for his help and took a seat beside her son. Having paced around the waiting room nervously for the better part of five and a half hours, she was completely exhausted. Not long after the doctor left the room, Inko found herself dragged into some much needed sleep.

She awoke many hours later to find herself, head in arms, on her son's bed. She sat up straight and rubbed the sleep her eyes. According to the doctor, Izuku would still be out for a little while, so she still had time to kill. After a few moments deciding what to do for now whilst awaiting her son to wake up, her stomach began grumbling. So she went to the hospital cafeteria in order to get herself something to eat.

She left the room, closing the door behind her, and headed off toward the cafeteria. Meanwhile, back in the room, a blackish-purple smoke began to form at the bottom of Izuku's bed. This meant it could be only one person; Kurogiri.

His timing appeared to be perfect, because the moment he stepped through, Midoriya began to awaken. His eyes fluttered open slowly, showing him he was in an unfamiliar place. He tried to sit up but felt a sharp pain shoot through his gut, which forced him to lie back down again.

He looked down at the bottom of his bed to see Kurogiri standing there, which startled him. 'Kurogiri? Where am I?' he asked.

'You're in the hospital, Midoriya. You got shot last night' Kurogiri answered. 'According to the medical reports, you will be up on your feet again in two to three days. I have been sent to let you know that the Master wants to speak to you as soon as possible.'

Midoriya nodded his head. He couldn't do much else. He was only really half listening to Kurogiri as he was more focused on trying to remember out what actually happened the previous night. He remembered that All for One had given him a mission to retrieve a briefcase from a night club a few blocks from the bar.

He also remembered that he managed to successfully infiltrate the club and make it all the way to the room where the briefcase was. He remembered a man there, saying he had been waiting for All for One to send someone to get the briefcase back. He remembered getting into a scuffle with the man that eventually led to him getting shot by the man.

He looked up at Kurogiri as the memories flooded back to him. 'I have to go now Midoriya, I'll see you in a few days' Kurogiri said before heading back through the portal and returning to the bar.

Midoriya relaxed slightly and got himself more comfortable. A few moments later, Inko returned to the room carrying a small pot of ramen to find that her son had awoken. 'Izuku!' she exclaimed when she entered the room. 'Thank goodness you are alright.'

She rushed over to him, putting her ramen down on the bedside table, before enveloping him in a hug. 'You woke up a lot earlier than was expected' she told him, before pulling away. 'I should go and tell the doctor that you are awake.'

With that, she once again left the room in search of the doctor that took care of him. She returned moments later with the doctor, who was keen to ask Izuku some questions. 'So, do you remember anything about last night?' the doctor asked.

'No, I'm afraid I don't. Most of last night is just a blur' Izuku lied, keeping eye contact with the doctor and trying his best to keep his demeanor calm.

'Hmm. Well, the police found you in a room within the VIP suite of a night club a few blocks from here' the doctor said. 'Can you think of any reason as to why you would be there.'

'I'm sorry' Izuku told him. 'I really wish I could be of more help to you, but I really can't remember anything.'

'That's fine' the doctor said. 'Well, the police will be in later to question you. I'm afraid you will be fined for being in a night club unsupervised and underage. If all goes well with the check-ups, you should be out of here by tomorrow afternoon.'

The rest of the day went by with the police coming in to ask similar questions that the doctor had. The one thing they did do differently was ask for a description of the man who shot him. But, just like with the rest of the questions, Midoriya feigned memory loss and tiptoed around their questions.

The next morning, Midoriya had to do the check-ups the doctor mentioned the previous day, and was discharged by that afternoon. He phoned his mom and told her that he needed to go somewhere before coming home. She was worried that he might get hurt again but he managed to convince her.

He had to walk all the way to the bar, which was about eight or nine blocks from the hospital. He also passed the park on his way there, and thought about going for a walk in there first, but decided against it.

He eventually reached the bar, entering and calling out to Kurogiri. The purple bartender gave his greetings before opening a portal and telling Midoriya to go through. He looked at Kurogiri curiously. 'The Master wants to see you, remember?' Kurogiri asked.

Midoriya nodded his head and walked through the portal, instantly appearing in All for One's hideout. He walked over to the Master and bowed in greeting. When he looked up, he saw All for One was gritting his teeth. This meant that he was rather annoyed about something. And in that moment, Midoriya had a vague idea of what was bothering him, but he didn't dare speak up.

'You know, back when I was training Shigaraki, when he failed a mission I would give him a punishment' All for One said. 'Do you know what it was?'

Midoriya shook his head, now beginning to get very worried. He kept himself standing straight and looking at All for One, trying his best to hide his worry. He awaited All for One to continue, shaking ever so slightly at the thought of what he was going to say.

'I had Kurogiri teleport him to the top of a mountain and he had to make his way down with nothing to help him' All for One said. 'But I'm not going to have you do that. Instead, I'm going to give you a choice as to what your punishment shall be.'

All for One waited another moment before giving Midoriya the choices, allowing everything he said to sink in. 'Now, the punishments won't be too bad as you have already been shot, but they will still be bad. Choice number one, I will break every bone in your left hand one by one, and choice number two, you will have a fight with Shigaraki that will last two minutes.'

Midoriya didn't hesitate to answer, 'I think I'll take my chances with Shigaraki, sir.'

'Of course, I didn't expect anything else from you. But there is another condition to this, both of your hands will be tied behind your back' All for One told him.

Midoriya couldn't stop his eyes widening in shock. That wouldn't be a fight, it would be a one-sided bludgeoning. But he still wanted to take his chances with Shigaraki. After all, it was only two minutes. Shigaraki couldn't do too much damage in two minutes. But he couldn't defend himself.

He nodded his head and left back through the portal to find Kurogiri there waiting for him. 'Shigaraki is already in the training area awaiting your arrival, Midoriya' he said. 'I have to come with you and tie your hands behind your back before you enter.'

They made their way rather hastily to the training room, Midoriya just wanting to get this over and done with as quickly as possible. Upon entering the room, Kurogiri used zip-ties to tie Midoriya's hands behind his back, before officially starting the fight.

It ended up being just as one-sided as Midoriya assumed it would be, with Shigaraki immediately going on the offensive and not giving Midoriya any time to think. If he had, then he could have easily won the fight in just a few seconds. If he was given time to think, he would have noticed the various blunt, metal weapons littered around the room.

By the end of the fight, Midoriya had a few cracked ribs, what he thought was a broken nose, and a black eye. Which, as he thought, was not as bad as having every bone in your hand broken. After the fight was over, Kurogiri fixed him up with some ice for his eye, before sending Midoriya back home.

When he reached his house, he explained to his mom that he was at the park and he fell off the swings, which is where his injuries came from. Afterward he went to his room and laid on his bed. The last two days had been nothing but him picking up injuries. But he knew, if he wanted to become a great villain, then he would receive injuries much worse than he had over the last two days.
