Hey guys! Sorry that it's been so long . Hopefully I should be able to get the next chapter out sooner as, hey, I'm not going anywhere or seeing anyone but who knows. Confession time: I'm not at all happy with this chapter but I've reworked it a bunch of times and this is the best version, so I hope you enjoy.

"Let, go of me! Let go!" Izuku shouted, struggling against the grip on his arm.

"Oh no," Tomura grinned, dragging him a couple of steps further down the corridor. "You aren't going anywhere, little hero. We're going to see Sensei and then he's going to –"

Tomura cut off with a wheeze as Izuku managed to elbow him in the gut, slipping out of his grip and sprinting away.

"Oh no you don't! he snarled and Izuku felt a yank on the collar of his shirt and then the terrifying crumble as it started to disintegrate. He eeled out of it, momentarily blinded and left it abandoned no the floor, ignoring the black anger he could feel behind him. For a moment the anger turned triumphant, this was all the warning that Izuku got. And then an arm closed around his neck.

"Get off!" Izuku hollered, kicking out. "Get off me!"

"Ah, ah, ah" A voice hissed in his ear in mock comfort. The arm around his neck twisted, choking him, and out of the corner of his eye Izuku caught sight of a pale hand. "Careful there, little hero. I'd hate for you to lose anything."

Izuku went limp and let himself be dragged backwards, eyes darting around the corridor. It was empty and useless. They didn't even pass a door that might let him orient himself. It was just the same dark stretch of metal, on and on and on.

They stopped outside a door and Izuku felt himself be twisted around into a proper headlock before Tomura flung the door open.

"Sensei, Sensei!" Tomura crowed, dragging Izuku into the room. Izuku hissed in pain as his elbow bashed against the doorframe. "Look who I found trying to escape."

"Oh?" The chair in the centre of the room turned and then All for One's attention was on them. Izuku flinched as the oil miasma of it brushed against his mind, trying not to gag at the feeling. "and why would he want to go and do a silly thing like that."

Four fingers on his back and then Izuku was shoved, hard. He sprawled on the carpet at All for One's feet for a second. Winded. And then he scrambled to his knees. His hearts were going too fast. He could feel them thump-thump-thumping in his chest so loud he thought that the whole room could hear.

"I dunno," Tomura said scratching idly at his neck. "But I caught him. He had this button thing, like a tracker that he'd activated."

"A tracker." All for One went very still. "You said that he activated this?"

"Uh huh."

The dark aura roiled around him, livid and furious and deadly and Izuku gasped for breath like it was a physical force, hands scrabbling uselessly at his neck for a pressure that slid off his skin, intangible as smoke.

"What," All for One hissed out, "did you do."

"Nothing." Izuku choked out.

"Who did you contact?"

"No one!"

Tomura was laughing behind him and All for One was looming above him, anger and disappointment and below it all a crushing indifference sharpened to a knife that he was using to drill down against Izuku's mind. And Izuku threw up another wall and it crumbled instantly, and he gasped, longing for the bright warmth of his mum and don't think about that!

All for One paused, head tilting to one side as though he had caught the thought and then, thankfully, they were interrupted.

"Sensei," Kurogiri said respectfully, appearing in the room in a swirl of darkness. "I apologise for the interruption however the hero, Endeavour is attacking."

There was a brief, incredulous pause and Izuku blinked, his battered mind trying to make sense of the sentence and coming up short. Endeavour?

"…Endeavour?" All for One, asked a note of complete, genuine bafflement in his voice. "You contacted Endeavour?"

"No," Izuku said in exactly the same tone, blinking up at the ceiling and wondering when exactly things had stopped making sense. He felt like a grape that was being turned into wine. Squished and bruised. "I have no idea what he's doing here."

"Okay." Incredibly, All for One seemed to believe him. He pinched the bridge of his nose. Or where the bridge of his nose should have been. "We will have to abandon this site. Kurogiri, release the Nomu, we can always make more. You will then take Tomura to safety. I will deal with the … Heroes."

"But – Sensei!" Tomura whined, "You should –"

"It is alright, Tomura," All for One said, reaching out one large hand to caress the side of Tomura's face. "After all, all of this is for you. I will be fine, and I will meet you at…" His attention flicked lightning fast across Izuku. "The rendezvous point."

Tomura shivered as All for One let go, swaying forwards to keep the hands on his skin for as long as possible. "Okay, Sensei."

"Good," All for One smiled sharply. "I just need to take care of him."

His attention flickered across Izuku and Izuku swallowed, eyes desperately flitting around the room for anything that could help him. The table with his things was still sitting there. His belt just discarded there, next to his coat. All for One was distracted, watching Tomura disappear into a portal of swirling black. He wasn't looking.

Izuku lunged.

"I – we – I. This is impossible!" Glasses exclaimed for the 6trillianth time. "We have moved. How have we moved? How is this possible?"

Katsuki grunted, not taking his eyes off Endeavour. The hero was battering at the door, but nothing was happening. Great gouts of flame that weren't doing a damn thing. If they hadn't already figured that there was something shady about the building that definitely would have tipped them off. No way would normal fireproofing be enough to stop Endeavour's quirk.

"That's my Dad," Candy-cane said blankly. "Why is my father here?"

"I am not sure that your father is the important issue here," Glasses said, chopping his arms. "We have moved!"

"I mean, isn't it obvious?" Round Face said, stupid round face illuminated purple in the glow. "It's a spaceship, right?"

Katsuki froze. "No, it isn't."

Round face laughed, her eyes were round as her face and looking round the room in wonder. "Yes, it is. Look at it. And we teleported!"

"What would Deku be doing with a spaceship, kero?"

"Nothing," Katsuki snarled. "He's not doing anything with a Spaceship because it's not a Sapacehip."

Froggy blinked slowly. "You said only Deku could call the ship earlier. So, it's a spaceship."

"It is not a fucking space –"

"The Quirk…" Glasses breathed. Katsuki paused. He wasn't sure what glasses was talking about, but it probably wasn't good. "Izuku's quirk."

"What about it?" Candy-cane asked, once again failing to read Katsuki's epic glare. "Analysis, right?"

"It's wrong." Glasses continued. "We talked about it during the internship. Some of the things that he has survived are past the capabilities of the human body. He said it was luck but…"

"It was luck. Shitty Deku has great luck." Katsuki snarled turning away from the door. Deku was always the talker. Katsuki didn't know how to fix this. His palms itched and he clenched his hands into fists. "So, shut up and about crap you know nothing about."

They were all staring at him. All of them. Wide eyed and wondering. He couldn't get them to stop.

"Whatever this is," Candy-cane mused slowly. "You know about it."

"I don't know – " Katsuki was cut off as shockwave of pressure exploded from the building behind him.

He yelped as he hit the floor, the ship rocking in distress. Dimly he saw Round Face grab at Froggy to stop her from falling over. Candy-Cane looked like he was trying to say something but there was a ringing in Katsuki's ears, and he couldn't hear past it. He staggered to his feet, grabbing the doorframe in support and looked out.

The front of the building had exploded. Rubble littered the street and from the gaping chasm monsters were crawling from the building. Disgusting, misshapen things, with mottled skin and exposed brains and grasping hands. One of them managed to grab Endeavour by the arm, pawing at his costume with spiked fingers and Endeavour let out a roar of pain, immolating the creature in a wail of fire. But more were coming up behind it, pouring like ants out of the building.

By now Endeavour had clearly attracted attention and other heroes were flocking to the scene. Katsuki caught sight of Kamui Woods appearing on the next building over, and there was the Blue and red of Mr Brave's costume entering the street. Katsuki frowned, looking at the building. It looked like the stream of Nomu were dying down, most of them were out and preoccupied with fighting the heroes. That meant…there was an opening.

"Right," Katsuki muttered to himself, eyes lazering in on the path he'd need to take. They were near enough. It wasn't far.

He took off.

Twin cries of "Oh, come on!" and "Not again, Kero!" came from the girls behind him, but Katsuki was already gone.

Izuku groaned, trying to gather the strength the roll onto his side. The table had splintered beneath his weight when All for One slammed him down onto it and the shards of wood were digging painfully into his unprotected back. His left hand scrabbled among the ruins for something useful, his batons, or a chem-stick. All For One caught the movement and lifted him up, a dizzying moment of weightlessness before All for One slammed him back down into the rubble. Izuku coughed as the air was forced out of his lungs and lay still for a moment, dazed.

Above him All for One raised a hand, a large black spike forming in the palm.

"Ah, child," All for One said, sorrowfully, "I do wish that you hadn't made me do this. We could have been wonderful."

"No," Izuku spat, eyes burning. "We couldn't."

The hand descended. A crack and flash of red severed the spike from All for Ones hand where it dissolved into shadow.

"Oh, Izuku," All for One breathed, not moving an inch. "You didn't say you had a … sister?"

Izuku scrambled backwards, breath panting desperately through him and hearts racing. Inko was stood in the doorway in her vigilante outfit, whip in hand. She too was frozen in place and behind the blank porcelain of her mask her shock was palpable.

"You're…" She stammered, taking a staggering step forward.

All for One smiled without moving his lips. "Yes," he agreed not looking away from Izuku. "I am a Time Lord. As are you."

"I didn't," Inko stuttered. "I didn't think that there was anyone else left."

All for One was distracted, the sweltering pressure of his mind peeled away from Izuku's and Izuku frowned. He'd been alone without family for a long, long time. There was a chance he wouldn't notice. Carefully, very carefully, Izuku feel for the bright, burning glow between them, feeding his memories of the past few days into it.

Inko faltered for a second before firming in resolve, sending affection and reassurance straight back through the link. Izuku relaxed, going boneless against the floor and looking up at All for One between lidded eyes. He hadn't noticed. He hadn't even looked.

"Well, now," All for One said, finally, finally turning away from Izuku "Perhaps you would be more willing to see reason."

"See reason about what?" Inko asked, stepping closer. There was a plan ticking away in the space between them. Izuku wasn't sure who had first had the idea, but it was there. Waiting. He shifted, placing a hand flat on the floor and getting ready to move.

"We are the last," All for One said. Holding out a hand towards her. "surely you can see that we should be working together."

Slowly, hesitantly Inko raised her hand towards him. The air around All for One turned smug.

Now!

Izuku lunged, wood cracking beneath him as he darted upwards, arm outstretched. All for One stepped back, carelessly, negligently away from Izuku's reach.

And directly into Inko's.
