(I don't own Boku no Hero Academia or its characters, only this fanfiction's plot)


All Might arrived expecting to find terrified children and villains everywhere. He found both, just not in the way he expected.

"All Might!" Young Iida looked relieved as laid Aizawa down beside Thirteen who has definitely seen better days. "I'm so glad you're here, the villains-"

"Young Asui informed me of the situation." Dropping his overcoat, All Might took in the battlefield; noting the flying screeching villain and the ice all over the plaza below. "It's going to be alright now."

His heart clench to see the sight of his colleagues. Thirteen was ripped open and Aizawa's arms were not supposed to be twisted in such a way; just what kind of monsters had his students been facing?

Horrific ones, if Asui was to be believed.

Dropping down into the plaza All Might easily cut down any of the surviving villains before vaulting over the ones encased in ice.. To see his nephew being mothered by his classmates.

"I'm fine-" His Nephew was insisting, zipping up his gym shirt. "-I don't think I even lose much that time."

This only seemed to further incense the girl, Uraraka was it? "You should have told me that using your quirk like that could kill you!"

"We all knew the risks-"

"Shimura, just.." Young Todoroki began before he noticed him. The other two took a break from their bickering to look over, eyes widening in delight.

"All Might, you're here!" Young Uraraka visibly sagged with relief. "Thank goodness. Those two main guys left, but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold Noumu up there."

Noumu? All Might glanced up towards where the screeching villain was banging against the top of the dome. Ah, the Sky Monster.

"You said they left?"

"Not much else to do when your muscle's gone and you're frozen solid." Young Todoroki huffed, "Honestly, to think these amateurs thought they could take you on."

"It was Shimura's plan that got rid of them," Uraraka sent a glare his nephew's way. "You still should have mentioned the whole 'I slowly bleed out when I use my quirk' thing! I'm serious stop smiling!"

Midoriya laughed, "Uraraka we're in a facility still half full of villains, and the fact my quirk makes me a little dizzy is what you're worried about?"

"Little dizzy?" The girl sputtered, "You fainted!"

All Might felt his heart do a very dangerous jitter in his ribcage.

"For, like, a minute." His nephew at least had the good graces to look sheepish. "I'm fine, and All Might's here so-"

"Yes, I am. I want you three to head up towards the entrance." All Might fixed the source of his ever-shortening life span with a look. "We are going to have a talk about this later."

The three gave nods, watching over their shoulders as the Symbol of Peace started pummeling the remaining bad guys.

Todoroki watched All Might Detroit Smash a mutant type before fixing his eyes on his 'ally'. "What was that about?"

"Hmm?"

"Why does All Might want to talk to you specifically."

"Oh." Todoroki did not miss the panicked look that flickered across the other boy's face. "He.. I wasn't supposed to use my quirk-"

"-For good reason!" Uraraka butted in, unhelpfully.

"Yeah, yeah." Midoriya waved her off and pointedly refused her help as they started climbing the stairs. "Anyways, he probably just wants to scold me for disregarding Recovery Girl's orders. Maybe ask for more information on Tiny Tim up there."

It was a decent excuse. Todoroki just didn't believe it.

"It's kind of weird how that villain thought you were lying about your name." Uraraka said, forcefully throwing their Class Rep's arm over her shoulder. "I mean, why would you?"

Todoroki had very inaccurate guesses as to why.

"Not sure, guy's a nutcase." Midoriya mumbled, "Probably would have freaked regardless."

"Regardless of what?" Iida asked, turning their classmates' attention onto them.

"Nothing." Midoriya chirped, wenching free of Uraraka and running up the last few steps without even grabbing the railing Shimura what the fuck you just fainted-

"Do you still have my belt?"

"Uh, yeah. Here you go."

Taking a generous gulp of his transfusion, Midoriya's eyes landed on their unconscious teachers. "Are they still.. You know."

Ashido nodded, wiping the tears from her face. "Yeah, just.. Just hurt. We should probably get them outside to the vans."

"We should get out of here." Midoriya eyes glanced back towards the USJ, an explosion going off as All Might no doubt broke the surrounding area along with a villain's face. "Come on, I'll help you with Aizawa."

Uraraka protested to this until she realized she could just make Aizawa and Thirteen weightless. Then she was very happy to let Midoriya help.

The other teachers arrived soon after, followed shortly by the police. Midoriya, along with everyone else, was given a quick check-up. Fortunately, there were no major student injuries, and, while suffering severe lacerations, Thirteen was going to be okay.

Aizawa was still in surgery.

Tsukauchi was very happy to see him and use his status as a student in recovery to whisk him away to Recovery Girl's office, where his Uncle could easily meet up with him after he was done helping with the cleanup to throttle him.

If Recovery Girl didn't shame him to death first. God for some reason saw fit to make her more longwinded than a weed pipe and she seemingly had an endless list of ways he could have gotten killed or permanently disabled or worse-

When All Might came, Midoriya was fully prepared to accept round two. What he was not prepared for was to be hugged within an inch of his life or cried on.

Midoriya blinked, before awkwardly returning the embrace. Guilt already setting in and Uncle hadn't needed to say a word.

Midoriya's lip trembled, "I'm sorry, Uncle."

"No you aren't, I know you better than that."

"I am!" Midoriya pulled away. "Not for risking my life or using my quirk- you weren't there, Uncle. Iida and Uraraka didn't have quirks that could help in the Shipwreck Zone and I had to save them- and then Aizawa got smashed to bits by that Sky Monster-"

All Might thumbed away tears before they could fall. Listening to the panicked explanation without interruption.

"-Then.. Then Todoroki froze him and we were fine. I wasn't even that dizzy! I only fainted because.. I was just really scared is all! Uraraka just overreacted..."

"Uraraka was right to be worried." All Might swallowed down another sob, "I'm not angry- not at you, anyways. Even if you did do every single thing you could to astral project me a heart attack."

Midoriya snorted, "I am sorry for making you cry. I don't mean to be such a burden on you."

"No, my boy, no." All Might immediately pulled him back into his arms. "No, these are happy tears. I'm crying because I'm so relieved to still have you here in one piece, because you are anything but a burden to me."

"But.. But I-"

"Shh.. It.. It doesn't matter anymore. You're safe and I'm going to make sure you stay that way, understand?"

Feeling a nod, All Might took a deep breath.

"I think it's time I give you my quirk."


OMG things have been absolutely insane, haven't they? I hope everyone is handly COVID19 okay and that they are staying healthy and safe during the pandemic. I hope you like this chapter, or at the very least, it took the edge off of the stress we're all feeling right now.

Midoriya is getting OFA! I've been building to this and the season finally just felt right. All Might never wants his boy to be that helpless ever again, and this is the best way he can ensure that. I hope you guys are pumped for training and to see how OFA mixes with Midoriya's quirk.

On another note, this is the end of the first book. I thought about it and I really want to separate these by seasons so it can be a proper series and so it'll be easier to manage in my writing program. Lots of things are going to be happening in Book 2 (Bakugou's return, Sports festival, Toga) and I hope you're excited for it :)

Please let me know what you think, like, and share it with friends! I had so much fun writing this :D
