Hisashi Midoriya stepped through airport security a security guard who looked like a crocodile stepped over patting him down
"Your clear to go" he said tiredly Hisashi nodded walking over he reclaimed his phone badge and gun placing them back on his belt and holster Hisashi tried and failed to hold back a yawn
A nine hour flight from Musutafu to Barton City California was tiring enough for most people well it was even more so for Air Marshall Hisashi Midoriya all he wanted to do was get something to eat and sleep for eight hours before Hisashi would wake up come back to the airport and spend another nine hours flying over the Pacific Ocean in a giant metal tube
Oh and check his phone for messages from his beautiful wonderful intelligent amazing probably worried out of her mind wife Inko maybe grab a souvenir for his son while he was at it
Izuku was easy to shop for just buy him something with All Might on it and the hyperactive green bean would be in Nirvana every time Hisashi smiled some of his exhaustion melting away thinking about his family in Musutafu turning his phone off of airplane mode he saw three voice mails from Inko
Oh no
Did he forget something
It wasn't their wedding anniversary they celebrated that last month
It wasn't her birthday or Izukus birthday those were marked in his calendar
It wasn't his birthday
Did something happen to his In-laws
Did something happen to IZUKU
Fueled by worry Hisashi opened his voicemail and played his wife's worried message
"Hisashi I know your probably still in the air but call me when you get this message it's about Izuku we just saw the doctor and" Inko stopped talking choking back a sob "Hisashi I'm so sorry it's my fault Izuku he's Quirkless"
Hisashi almost dropped his phone that shouldn't be possible if his son was quirkless that meant Izuku's dreams of being a hero were over before they could even begin
After all who ever heard of a quirkless hero
After leaving the airport Hisashi had found a restaurant that served alcohol sat at the bar and ordered a coke due to the nature of his quirk Hisashi couldn't drink without it having a negative effect on his quirk
His father in laws eyebrows eventually grew back
Hisashi looked at his drink what was he supposed to say he had looked up 'my son is quirkless' thinking the internet might have some advice on how he could talk to Izuku he found nothing
Hisashi looked at the tv in behind the bar there was news footage of a hero battle an armored villain with some kind of gigantification quirk was fighting a man in a green hood with a bow and arrow a man in red with some kind of speed quirk and a blonde woman in blue with a strength enhancing quirk the giant villain fell to the ground before it cut to the newscaster
"The villain attack was resolved by the combined efforts of Emerald Bowman Scarlet Thunder and Titanium Girl the villain in question has been returned to Guggenheim Prison" the Newscaster reported
Now that the action was over Hisashi went back to his coke and his thoughts he barely noticed the man sitting next to him until he spoke in Japanese
"Rough day" he asked Hisashi turned to the man
"You speak Japanese" he asked the blonde American who looked vaguely familiar "how did you know I speak Japanese"
The man nodded pointing at Hisashi's hip "your badge" Hisashi reached down unclipping his badge for a moment engraved on the gold plated shield was
空を守る
Sora O Mamoru
"Protect the skies" Hisashi translated the creed he lived by clipping his badge back into place "you are very observant Mr.-"
The man held out his hand Hisashi shook it the mans palm was calloused and scarred like that of an elite soldiers his grip was impressive like someone with a strength enhancing quirk Hisashi had a feeling if this man wanted to he could break his hand
"Oliver Queen" the man greeted "and it pays to be observant in my line of work Mr.-"
"Midoriya Hisashi Midoriya" Hisashi said doing his best impression of James Bond "what exactly is your line of work"
"It's understandable you don't recognize me I'm not very popular in Japan I work as a pro hero"
Now he recognized him from the newscast Oliver Queen was the archer in the green hood "I just saw you on the TV the way you and those two other heroes worked together to take down that giant villain was incredible" Hisashi said complimenting Oliver true the newscast didn't show much Hisashi did see that Oliver was a incredible marksman
Behind the bar the barkeeper smiled "that's our number 8 for ya" he said before handing Oliver a drink "your to go order should be ready in five minutes Mr. Queen" Oliver nodded gratefully before taking a sip of his drink
"Number 8" Hisashi asked "that's beyond impressive if it's not too personal could I ask what your quirk is" Hisashi asked "quirks have always fascinated me with everything they can do" Hisashi had always been a bit of a 'Quirk nerd' but he couldn't help it he'd always been fascinated by quirks something that he passed down to his son
Actually if it weren't for his curiosity with quirks an eighteen year old Hisashi would never have been able to talk to the green haired beauty he saw using her quirk to catch her purse telekinetically
Oliver finished his drink setting it down "years of training hard work and studying" Oliver answered well that was a long name for a quirk Hisashi briefly wondered if it was translated from another language
Wait Hisashi thought
It can't be
How had he never heard of such a thing
"Oliver are you-"
Oliver nodded "I am completely quirkless"
Hisashi sniffed his glass no he wasn't spiked which means he heard right "that's amazing I've never heard of a quirkless hero" to be completely honest Hisashi didn't know many American heroes he was almost always jet lagged when he was in the United States all he really knew was All Might and Captain Celebrity and only one was actually American
Wait if Oliver is quirkless than that meant Izuku's dream wasn't as hopeless as he thought
"If it's not personal can I ask how you did it how you became a top hero" Hisashi asked "I have to know for Izuku"
"Izuku"
Hisashi took out his phone pulling up a picture of Izuku on Hisashi's shoulders both of them smiling Izuku's little hands were in his curly black hair making it stand up in two strands like All Might this was his favorite picture of him and Izuku they didn't get to see each other often so he valued his time with his only son
"My son he just saw the doctor today turns out he"s quirkless" Oliver nodded and Hisashi continued "ever since he saw the video of All Mights debut in Japan all he's ever talked about is being a hero at first I didn't know what to do the internet is no help but you your one of the top ten heroes in one of the biggest countries in the world please"
Hisashi put his hands together almost like he was praying
Oliver nodded understandably twisting the gold band on his left finger before he pulled out his phone unlocking the device a picture of a teenage boy holding onto a little girl between Oliver and a blonde woman
"These are my kids William and Mia she's quirkless like me and your boy Izuku" Oliver said before laughing
"and like her old man shewants to be a hero so I began training her nothing too strenuous for now just stretches and kicking a hand target" Oliver explained looking Hisashi in the eye gone was the calm light hearted man he'd been talking to was gone in his place was someone else something else the Emerald Bowman
"I won't sugar coat it for you being a hero is not easy it takes hard work and dedication there are times when you want nothing more than to quit to walk away but if you do innocent people your friends your family will get hurt and there's no magical way to save everyone even All Might can't do that" Oliver said dead serious with a clenched fist
Hisashi nodded he too had lost friends in the Air Marshall to attacks Hisashi mourned for them all but he never doubted they died fighting for something they believed in but still this was his son
"How are you not worried" Hisashi asked Oliver laughed dryly
"I'd worry for her no matter what job she got it's part of being a parent" Oliver said "but I won't force her to do anything especially hero work no one can rightfully call themselves a parent if they force their child into something dangerous"
A waitress brought over Olivers take out order Oliver pulled out his wallet put some cash on the bar taking the food Oliver started walking but stopped
"Can I give you advice Hisashi from one father to another" Oliver asked Hisashi nodded
"The best thing you can do for your son is to give him hope and tell him if he wants his dream" Oliver held up his arm "he's got to work for it and never give up"
Hisashi nodded "I will thank you"
Oliver nodded before he walked out of the restaurant and out of Hisashi's life but as breif as he was there he changed Hisashi's outlook on things pulling out his phone he began a new search
Hisashi needed to find something
Something that would give Izuku hope
"DADDY" little Izuku yelled running through the hallway jumping up into his arms Hisashi groaned playfully standing up
"Inko help a giant's come and replaced Izuku" Hisashi called through the apartment jokingly he didn't want Inko to think something like that actually happened "and he has a weight altering quirk"
Izuku laughed playfully "mom daddy's being silly" he called
While Inko walked into the living room with a grin on her face that didn't quite reach her tears-stained eyes he hated seeing his beautiful wife looking like that he hated she blamed herself for their sons lack of a superpower
Hopefully Hisashi's present would make them both feel better Hisashi set Izuku down walking over to Inko he kissed her on the lips
"How is it possible that you get more beautiful every time I see you" Hisashi asked Inko blushed her cheeks becoming redder than Crimson Riots hair
"You always have such a way with words don't you" Inko said kissing him lightly on the lips Hisashi felt a little hand poke him in the leg Hisashi turned to see an expectant Izuku
"Daddy do I get my souvenir now you always give me a souvenir after you kiss mom" Hisashi chuckled while Inko blushed
Hisashi knelt down petting Izuku on the head "I'm that predictable aren't I kid" Hisashi asked before walking over to his suitcase
"But I do have something for you and something for your mom too"
opening his suitcase Hisashi pulled out a wrapped present for Izuku and one for Inko handing the gifts to his family Izuku tore into the paper while Inko casually pulled hers apart with her quirk revealing a book
"It took me a minute to find a Japanese print" Hisashi said Hisashi watched Inko read the title and she gasped "are you serious"
Hisashi nodded on the cover in clear kanji was "Tales of the Quirkless hero a true biography about America's #8 Hero Oliver Queen" by John Diggle
Meanwhile Izuku had opened his to find a little green tracksuit with arrowheads on the shoulders and hand targets
"Daddy I don't get it what's this stuff" he asked curiously
Hisashi knelt down pulling out the target
"Well son I met a very cool hero in America his name Emerald Bowman and you and he have something in common"
Izuku looked heartbroken for a moment but that was enough to make Hisashi's heart shatter into pieces but the look soon faded back into a curious look
"What's that Daddy" Izuku asked
Hisashi grinned "he's a quirkless hero and if there's one quirkless hero do you know what that means"
Izuku's eyes widened in realization before an ear splitting grin spread across his face
"Izuku Midoriya you too can be a hero" Hisashi said with a grin
And that's the story as you can see I wanted to do something different by making Hisashi an Air Marshal
if Japan does not have Air Marshals remember this is Fanfiction
Instead of
1 Izuku's dad being All Might
2 Inko cheating on her husband with Endeavor (Yes that's a thing)
3 Hisashi being a villain (read Viridescent it's awesome)
4 Hisashi being All For One
Tell me what you think
Lastly I want to thank Stephen Amell for eight incredible years of being my favorite version of the Green Arrow like Robert Downey Junior with Ironman Kevin Conroy with Batman
He really made the part his own
Thanks Steven for the memories
