Even with all the commotion brought on by the altercation under the overpass, no one else came to observe the meeting between All-Might and Izuku Midoriya.

The two already observing the symbol of peace were intrigued by the development brought on by Izuku Midoriya. Though the elimination of their experiment as a threat was slightly disappointing. If only due to the need to put another villain in its place to further test All-Might.

With the limitless resources of Latveria, the Hellfire Club was able to fulfil its goals. One goal was these tests meant to challenge All-Might. They needed to know that he was still the hero he had been for decades and on a day as uneventful as this they could do so with only minimal casualties for the population of Mustafu.

Luckily, minimal death was still achievable through their next experiment.

"Oi! Put that shit out."

Bakugo was the highest achieving student in his school, an Inhuman that had express permission to visit the moon colony whenever he liked with a power that many made a big deal of. So he wasn't about to have some extra smoke around him, getting in trouble with law enforcement over some stupid extra with an addiction to his stupidity. Lackeys with no brains of their own.

Instead of immediately following what Bakugo had told him, the moron decided to just lookup. As if there were anything to look at up there.

However a low hiss from up above made the two extras around Bakugo shiver and scram, the cigarette one of the extras had falling to the floor. As Bakugo looked up to where the hissing noise was coming from, he stamped out the cigarette. The creature up above using that moment to pounce from the wall and down into the alley. Landing just behind Bakugo.

Fear wasn't what Bakugo was feeling right now. It wasn't due to the shadow of the creature being large enough to eclipse his own and stretch out across the small alleyway. That wasn't why sweat formed on his brow.

Bakugo didn't get scared.

As he turned, the creature had already flung an arm forward. Scratching bloody cuts into his neck and cheek. Despite this, he had still been able to let off an explosion into the creature. A guttural roar coming from it as it's scales scorched and burned from the impact.

In a flash it's green hand slammed into his face, holding his head completely as claws dug slowly into his head. His legs swinging above the floor as he was held by the creature.

"DIE!"

The yell may not have been all that impressive to the creature, but the act of clasping his hands around that scaly arm and severing it from the creature's body with an explosion was more than just impressive.

Pulling it off with disgust, Bakugo could already feel the blood flow out from his head, neck and cheek. Smearing his blonde hair and school clothes with his failure as he looked up at the green creature.

The Lizard.

That was all he could determine before passing out from blood loss.

While Bakugo had been annoyed by his lackeys, Midoriya had been wrestling with his actions.

Not just the attempted murder in front of a pro-hero but...

A long time ago, when he had just been sent to the orphanage, his mutant ability sparked up. Sunglasses of a special kind had been given to him, multiple copies enough to stop him from hurting everyone around him.

Yet, that hadn't helped the boy. Not mentally. Stuck in a home full of other children suffering just as he was, powers unexplained by non-existent parents, siblings taken and those willing to bully them just because they had no family.

Bakugo Katsuki had earlier on a certain day made sure to rub in his new nickname. 'Deku'. He had the capability of fighting back, of defeating all three bullies and helping another.

Fear had kept Izuku from taking any appropriate action against them. Later years told him that this had not been a mistake brought on by fear, but a blessing in disguise.

Once back within the orphanage walls for the day, a boy he had not known decided to pester him. The idea being catharsis due to being denied an adopting family. An idea that Izuku had many times. Unfortunately, the striking against Izuku was all it took for those ruby-quartz glasses to drop and optic beams to fly.

At this point, he had no idea what kind of power he had. Beams that came from his eyes was all he could muster if asked.

Once the sunglasses had been retrieved, he could finally see why the boy had screamed so loudly only to stop in an instant.

The boy, young and waiting for a family, had been left on that floor in two. A torso detached from legs sprawled out on the floor. All it had taken was a simple slip.

Midoriya had taken to crying at that point. Hands and floor wet with tears as everything happened around him. Men in suits, men in yellow bodysuits outfits and a woman completely made of silver all came to find out how.

The explanation was that his eyes were not able to produce beams of light or laser or plasma of any kind. The energy came from another dimension entirely, the eyes of Izuku Midoriya being portals to a realm of pure red kinetic energy. One of those researching him had called it a 'punch' dimension at the time.

The woman made of silver had called that 'crude, but accurate' and that had been the end of it. The men in suits brought him pairs of newly designed ruby-quartz glasses over the years but besides that, no one else came.

"Young citizen! Do you need my help?"

All-Might asked in his normally booming voice. Making it clear that reading a room wasn't a strong suit of the hero. Not that Midoriya would ever say that out loud. Especially not with his hands over his eyes.

"I need my glasses. I'll hurt someone if I don't."

"Here! Try these!"

Feeling a pair of glasses against his knuckles, Midoriya slowly put them on. Making sure to look directly at the ground before his eyes opened.

His usual crimson vision now had shades of constant purple making its way around the edges. Almost like flowing water in a circular river.

"Azari did say to keep these for a rainy day."

All-Might chuckled out as he watched Midoriya silently swing back and forth in place. The utter notion of such a sentence being casually stated whipping his brain in waves.

Azari.

King Azari!

King Azari of Wakanda, the reigning Black Panther.

Then that means...

"The Shi'ar incident ten years ago! You had to take these when you were working with Ghost Rider and Black Panther to stop the villain Nitro using the sun as a power source! This is transparent vibranium!"

"Quite the fanboy, aren't you?"

At that Midoriya blushed, embarrassment spreading across his face without resistance. Being able to see All-Might properly made this feel so much worse than it already was.

Embarrassment is better than what he could be doing.

"Well my boy, I must be getting this villain to jail! Good luck in your future endeavours!"

Wait what? He's leaving? But Midoriya nearly killed someone! These are transparent vibranium glasses! He's not going to lecture Midoriya on using his power in public?

"W-Wait!"

Instead of jumping off into the air, All-Might turned around. Waiting for whatever Midoriya had to say. So like any fanboy Midoriya stood there trying to rack his brain on what the hell he was supposed to say right now.

"I-I... I broke... ah..."

"Don't worry! Self-defence is exactly what happened! Besides! I wouldn't want to involve you when you don't need to be involved! The police won't even visit!"

But that's against the law! How could he be so lackadaisical about all this? In mere moments Midoriya's mind went in circles. Sure the heroes of old wouldn't be as nice to law enforcement but now heroes had to be accurate! Heroes are supposed to work with the police not against them! All-Might's the number one hero! The symbol of peace! Not some vigilante like Crueller or Knuckle Duster or the Daredevil Clan or even that Punisher fanatic!

"I really must be going... Did you want me to sign something my boy? Who should I make it out too?"

"Scott Summers."

"I-I MEAN IZUKU MIDORIYA!"

"R-Right..."

All-Might responded with a confused look. So once again, the two stood there. No movement between them.

After a few moments, Midoriya perked up once more in embarrassment. Quickly retrieving a spare hero notebook from his bag and handing it over to All-Might.

A signature neatly signed onto the notebook was exactly what Midoriya got.

However, he hadn't expected the hissing and growling they both heard. Even with that going on above them both, Izuku didn't realise the danger he was in.

It wasn't like lizard or snake powers were uncommon after all.

Four human-sized lizard creatures jumped down from the overpass, knocking All-Might down. It wasn't hard for the hero to knock them all off, but by the time he had stood up seven of them were standing in front of him.

One of those lizards turned to face Midoriya while the other six flung themselves at All-Might with reckless abandon. Over the growing horde, Midoriya heard the instruction to run. He couldn't deny that it was probably what he should've done since these lizards out-numbered him completely.

Turning away wasn't an option.

Not after the small explosions that popped from the hands of the lizard facing him down.

"Run... Deku..."

It gurgled out in between snarls and hisses. It's intent to kill plain in its eyes despite the words it had spoken.

So like any good victim, Midoriya did begin running.

Except unlike a smart man or even a sane one, he ran in a direction opposite to any instruction.

Even advice from an old friend couldn't stop him.
