(AN: I AM SO SORRY! I just started a new job so I've been super busy and in fact I really don't like how this chapter was formed and written but if you guys like it let me know! Thanks for all the support even when I haven't been posting. With this new job I'm finding it even harder to take care of myself correctly. I'm kinda energy drink dependent right now to be honest. But I'm sorry for not getting this out but I wanted something different, especially since I haven't been 100% lately. Peace guys!)

"Get up Izuku!" The pro said and Izuku groaned before standing up and groaning, before going on the offensive and pushing back his opponent. "There you go!" The Ninja hero called and was forced on the defensive but laughed before grabbing his opponent's arm, flipping him,and slamming him onto the ground. "At least you kept up on your sword skills and your hand to hand has improved." Edgesho said while taking a drink of water while Izuku rested on the ground panting. "Well I've taught and helped you the most I could for this week, good thing Nezu gave you the week off."

"Week off my ass. You ran me ragged as soon as my stamina was back!" He groaned and sat up catching the water bottle thrown at him. He sighed and flopped on the ground. It was finally the weekend and Edgeshot was giving him the rest of the weekend to relax. "It's Thursday and I literally got my stamina back on Sunday!" He groaned and complained again, letting his body relax finally, the soreness of his muscles hit him. They had just worked on the streamlined armor he had been able to create against his father, more specifically the six winged version.

"Now you really look like an Archangel huh?" The pro smirked as he watched his apprentice relax for the first time in four days. "And at least I'm giving you Friday and the weekend off! Endeavor would have forced you into training until the minute your classes started!" The ninja hero laughed as he spoke about the number two hero, who the two shared a not-so-little dislike of. He was abusive and brash, and rarely thought about anyone but himself.

"Yea I guess so and true." He yawned and gripped the dirt lightly as he pushed himself into a sitting position. They had stayed at UA for the extra training, after the display he had put on Aizawa asked the hero to help the boy and he had agreed to help the apprentice. "But I was able to summon it but it took so much out of me everytime, it lessened a bit but it takes half of my stamina." He groaned and complained lightly before letting his eyes shut and rest.

"Better than taking about 75% of it you damn brat." Edgeshot laughed and hauled his student up as they left the gym and walked towards the dorms. "Remember, if that was the case you would be almost useless, but now that your armor has improved you'll be shooting up in ranks in no time." He said as he let his student walk on him lightly, he hadn't been too kind with the training and thought that the boy at least deserved some help.

"Yea. I know." He said quietly and his mentor sighed, the boy wasn't exactly over the week he had. It ended especially poorly thanks to the boy's father who had dragged him through hell and back just because of some money. The man simply let the boy be quiet and think, he didn't want to be overly pushy with the boy especially after the kid had told him everything about his childhood.

"Well Midoriya, remember you always have me to stay with ya know?" He said before letting the boy slip off him when they reached the dorm building, and the boy nodded, meeting his gaze with determination. He was worried that the boy was going to lash out. Aside from some complaining and jokes, he had been unusually quiet and he was worried the boy was going to go after the League. Hopefully, Momo would be able to make sure that didn't happen and was able to lead him down a better path. He watched as the boy slipped into the building and sighed, before he steeled himself and left quietly. They had gotten a lead on where the mastermind of the league was hidden and they were not going to let this chance go to waste. All for One had been traced.

"Izuku!" Momo called out to the green haired boy when he walked into the room and basically jumped on him. He laughed and hugged her as she wrapped her legs around his waist and held her tight.

"Momo!" He said with the same enthusiasm as he waved to his classmates who were relaxing on the couches before walking to the elevator and entering it so they could go to his room. He sighed once they got out of the elevator and got to his room and instantly flopped on the small couch he had, Momo still in his arms. He let the smile fade and looked up into her eyes, letting a tear drop and she quickly wiped it away. She quickly kissed his cheek, no words needed to be said. Any words that could have been said would just miss how monumentally hurt he was feeling. He knew the man that he had fought was his father, but he wished to god that he could just forget him. There were so many more people in his life that he could have been considered a better father figure than his sperm donor. There's Edgeshot, Aizawa and even freaking Nezu! They all had his best interests at heart and really wanted him to succeed instead of failing like his failure father. Why did he have a father that was just a villain? He had been famous in the States and had been convicted of multiple murders and various other crimes. The only thing that was confusing was that recordings of his quirk said nothing about his insane amount of strength.

"Izuku?" Said green eyed boy jolted out of his thoughts and looked at Momo realizing that his grip had tightened considerably on her shirt. She was looking at him with concern and he hated to see that, he was trying to make her not worry about him, not make her worry more. "You're thinking too much." She said gently taking his hands and bringing them up to her lips and kissing his knuckles gently despite having dust from the gym on them. He smiled gently and leaned up to kiss her, and she gently kissed him back.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. Just…" He paused trying to get his thoughts in order while she waited patiently. "He's biologically my dad but I feel more of a connection with all these other better father figures." He said, voicing his thoughts while letting his tears leak out. "Edgeshot taught me more about myself and my quirk. He taught me that my mentality is the only thing getting in the way of my own improvement and helped destroy that wall tha I had unknowingly set up for myself." He remembered everything that he had done during his internship and at Hosu, how he had defended him instead of attacking him like his father had. "Then there's Aizawa. He's our teacher but was able to help me break down my life and be able to live it while improving everything that I needed and wanted to." He thought out loud while remembering how hard their teacher was but that was because he truly believed that they all could become heroes if they put in the effort.

"Maybe you should tell them that?" Momo suggested while snapping him out of his own thoughts. He looked at her surprised, he didn't think that was an option as he had known both males for under a year and while he was sure they liked him, didn't know how they would react to him telling them that he thought of them more like a father figure instead of his own father.

"Are you sure?" He asked looking into her raven eyes, fear barely in his eyes but it was still there. He was so scared of being abandoned again and treated like he was just a paycheck or a burden. "Wouldn't that be weird?" He asked slowly, not sure of what else to say.

"I don't think Aizawa would mind, Edgeshot I can't say because I don't know him like you do. But I think you should tell him. He is in his office right now." She informed him and he nodded, his office was just down the hall but he was still scared a bit. "If you tell him, imagine if he says that he'll take you under his wing." Momo said still trying to convince her boyfriend that this was the best course of action. "You'll finally have someone to look up to who won't leave you. You'll have a father figure that will be able to be there for you, not on his time but on yours." She said as she pulled him up and to the door while he was thinking, before he slowly nodded and walked down the hall to the man's office. He stood there for about a minute, Momo waiting off to the side before he knocked. QUickly, Aizawa appeared and looked confused at the boy.

"Midoriya, is everything alright?" The gruff man asked and Izuku nodded before talking.

"Can we talk Mr. Aizawa? Just one on one?" He said carefully not wanting to seem like there was anything wrong, in reality he was freaking out now that he had said something and was considering telling the man nevermind until he invited the boy inside instead. Izuku looked at Momo for a second before walking in and closing the door behind him, leaving Momo to go to his room and wait for him. Maybe she'd join the others downstairs for a while.

Momo sighed as she relaxed on one of the chairs that occupied that common room, and let the soft chair envelope her before her group of friends walked in. Namely Mina and Jirou, the three were rather close as they did like to gossip.

"Hey Momo! No Knight in shining armor?" Mina asked as the other two girls got closer to the creation quirk user. The girl simply shook her head and laughed.

"No, not today. He actually needed to talk to Aizawa, they should still be talking." The raven haired beauty said and the other two had looks of confusion but nodded nonetheless. "It's actually something pretty big so I decided to leave the two of them alone." The class had noticed that Midoriya had slowly been talking to Aizawa more and more, they assumed it was something related to his quirk or training that he wanted to do.

"Well, we won't pry about it. Seems like it needs to just be between the two of them" Jirou said before smirking and looking at the other two. "Now about Hagakure and Ojiro?"

"Well, what did you need Midoriya?" The older man asked as they across from each other at the desk that occupied the small office. Midoriya just looked nervous before taking a large breath and looking at his teacher, steeling himself.

"Well, you know that my father was one of the villains that attacked us this week." The boy started and Aizawa nodded, not interrupting and just letting the boy say what he needed to say. "Well, he was never here for me so I don't really see him as a father and there's only two other people who I can even think of that way. You and Edgeshot." He said quickly getting it off his chest and making sure he didn't be a coward.

"Midoriya." The pro said after a few minutes and took a deep breath, before looking his student in the eye. "I know the feeling of never having a dad around, so I don't know if I'm the best fit but I'll try my best." He said with a smile that seemed brighter than the normal ones that he was able to conjure up. Midoirya was shocked, this is not how he expected this conversation to go. Aizawa stood up while the boy was in shock and wrapped an arm around the boy who hugged him back.

"Thank you Mr. Aizawa." Midoriya said, dashing away the tears that were starting to drop from his eyes. "I… I really appreciate it. I never really had anyone but my mom to look up to…" The boy admitted and looked down only for the man to clap a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Problem child." The man said with a smile before the smile changed to a smirk. "Now go tell Yaoyorozu, you two aren't as sneaky as you think when it comes to noise levels." The man said leaving the younger of the two to blush madly before nodding and heading to the common room. The man sighed, he had no idea why the boy started to think of him that way, he thought he would have thought of Edgeshot that way. He smiled genuinely looking after his pupil before letting out a bark of laughter, he was getting soft but he would never tell Nemuri that.

The entire class was in the common room and it had actually had a small sense of peace around it that never seemed to ever grace the class with itself presence. However, it was not meant to be enjoyed. They looked on in shock as they watched All Might fight the biggest and baddest villain that they had ever seen. Faceless and grotesque it looked like he should have been such a long time ago but he had been kept alive by a source. He had multiple quirks, how? The class looked on in horror at the devastation that was around All Might, why was this happening? How had they found him in the first place? He was the one creating those Nomu, he was the one that had almost killed him with the first Nomu that they had ever encountered. Izuku looked at the tv with shock and hatred unbefitting of a hero, that was the one that had unknowingly tried to kill him. Even at his strongest at that point in time was nothing compared to the sheer power displayed by that being. He was the one that had offered a reward for his head. All for One was the one who had finally got his father home, but the truth was too much for the boy to handle. The unbridled guilt he felt shoving through his rational thinking and making him move. Midoriya was shaking, but somehow managed to stand slowly and got up from his spot. His friends caught a glimpse of his armor before he took off towards the door only to be wrapped in a capture cloth by Aizawa, while having his quirk shut down.

"Problem child." The pro said before walking over to the struggling boy and hugging him tightly as the boy shivered lightly. "You can't go. I know, he's the one who's been after you at the camp but you can't go." The class was shocked, this was the guy who had been after Izuku and had forced the pros to find him because of such a high price on the boy's head. "You being there will make it just that much harder for him to finish him off." Aizawa said with so much conviction that the class had no other option than to believe them. Izuku, however, refused to accept that. His entire being wanted him to fight and get to the man, as much as he didn't worship the man like he used to, he couldn't leave him to die because he had been too weak to defend himself, all rationel thrown away from the boy.

"But… It's my fault." He exclaimed and looked up at the teacher. The class was shocked, they knew he felt guilty because his father had attacked their class but they had no idea he felt that much animosity towards himself for it. Of course, he felt guilty it was just that way ever since they had known him. He was way too eager to let himself take all the blame. Momo sighed and walked over trying to get him to calm down but it was in vain as he tried to race out again, against his teachers' bonds.

"Izuku!" The boy turned to his teacher who had barked out his name, and the steely edge was clear on his face. The civilians who were in danger were in danger because of him. The heroes who were defending had to be here because of him. It was a selfish thought that he was the reason that everything was happening but he still had to deal with the trauma of fighting the person who gave him half his DNA. Midoirya was having a full blown panic attack, but he didn't realize it even when he fell to his knees grasping his stomach. It hurt. His eyesight was out of focus and it certainly couldn't stop spinning around him like he was on a top. He distantly heard Momo and Aizawa calling his name as he fell onto all fours breathing heavily, he thought that he wouldn't be able to get more air into his lungs, however much he was getting wasn't enough. His heart was beating faster and faster, unable to control itself and he felt like he was going to drop. The two near him couldn't shake him until a blonde entered the swirling mix of colors that was currently his sight.

"Izuku!" The voice barked and suddenly pushed against the wall revealing red orbs that were staring at his green ones fiercely. The new arrival pointed at the TV, where All Might stood with a hand raised as he stood over the defeated villain. While he had the attack, the man somehow defeated the monster in an insanely quick amount of time. What was perceived as quick was in reality a very long mental snap, the boy had never experienced before. His breathing slowly returned to normal enough that he could breathe correctly which slowed his heart and slowly let his vision return to normal.

"Izuku?" His head snapped up to the voice and he stared at dark orbs that showed nothing but concern for him, tears streaming down her face in floods, drowning in guilt. He instantly grabbed her and pulled her close.

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." He said as his words started to break from sobs. "I broke our promise again." He muttered gently as the girl said nothing, leaving the class in quiet and deep silence as two scenes played out before them. The end of the Symbol of Peace and their strongest classmate finally break from everything he carried on his back.

"C'mon Problem Child, I know you already have special moves but that doesn't mean you're allowed to slack off during class!" Aizawa called to the boy who was currently flying fast and hard around the room. The teacher had forced him to use the insanely quick armor he had created against his father and race around the room as fast as he could. Izuku panted heavily, before losing concentration and crashing on the ground laying flat on his back as Aizawa stood over him. "Tired?" The grizzled pro asked as his pupil nodded, the two having spent at least some time together since Midoriya had admitted he thought of the man as a role model/parental figure. "Good, work on your normal control, you rely on that armor for everything now." The boy sighed in relief, Edgeshot had forced him to practice a style where he created weapons while attacking and he was so happy that he could finally take a break. His teacher let him get up, handing him some water before he went off to help the other students. The boy sighed and simply did as he was instructed until the end of the class where he promptly dropped in exhaustion before standing again, shocking his classmates. Ever since All Might had won against the faceless villain, he had pushed him further than even Bakugou had ever done. He grunted as someone shoved him to the ground forcing him to sit down and he looked up in slight annoyance before Momo came into his vision, and a flash of guilt swept across his features.

"You girls go on ahead." The raven haired beauty said to her friends before turning her gaze back to him. "Me and Izuku Midoirya here, have to talk some things out." She said while crossing her arms and glaring down at the boy, as their classmates shuddered from the intense aura she was giving off. They left rather quickly, and the second they were gone she plopped herself on his lap forcing him back down.

"Momo… I-" He was cut off as she placed a finger to his lips, sighing and looking at him seriously.

"No. No Momo anything. Right now you listen to me." She said seriously, looking him in the eyes unwaveringly as he gulped and nodded, unable to tear his eyes from hers. "One, we're a couple, yes?" She asked him and he nodded again. "Then you have to start talking to me and letting me in more so that I can help you! But I can't do that when you refuse to tell me anything and carry the burden of fucking Atlas on your back!" He winced at the curse, it was worse than if she was yelling at him but she only cursed when she really had to lay something down. "Two!" He looked back up at her, pawing rapt attention to the girl. "If I even get wind of an idea that you are going to skip those sessions with Hound Dog, I will drag you there myself." Without waiting for his reply she continued on. "Three, you aren't to blame for this." He flinched like he had been hit with a whip and she felt it. "You did nothing to ask for this, you did nothing except defend your classmates against people and things that wanted to hurt them badly. You need to find a way to understand that." She finished quieter than she had been the entire time and he nodded, not because it was what she wanted but because he somewhat understood where she was coming from. His mental break the other day in front of his classmates had been a wake up call, the life of a hero meant that bounties would be placed on their heads simply because they wanted to defend and help the people who couldn't do it for themselves. "And lastly." She gently leaned in and kissed him, letting her forehead rest on his. "You're wonderful. Don't let a few bastard villains get the better of you." She smiled and he nodded, finally she got up off him and they stood up.

"Thanks Momo. I needed that." He said gently as he stared at his partner, he was grateful for this.

"No problem Izu, but," He winced slightly at that word. "If you don't stop working yourself to death I'll make sure that Edgeshot beats the message into you next time you fucking idiot." She says as they walk out and towards the locker rooms.

"Yeah, yeah." The boy laughed but paled slightly, if his instructor ever found out that he had been treating himself so poorly, there would be hell to pay. As the two walked away, their teacher watched from the darkest corner of the hallway in silence. He sighed and turned to heels clacking on the ground, coming towards him. Midnight.

"Well, I guess your problem child definitely has someone to keep him in line without having you hold him back every time." The heroine said, smiling slightly as she watched the two walk away and around a corner before turning to Aizawa. The shaggy hero nodded and looked after his two pupils before turning back to the woman and smiled slightly.

"Yea. I guess so."

"Provisional Hero Licenses." Their teacher called, catching their attention as he stepped into the classroom causing them all to fall silently due to his gaze. "This is what you are aspiring to grasp as the next step onward. Normally you wouldn't be taking this until your second year, however Heroes are needed more than ever so be prepared to take this on. For the next two weeks, you will be preparing for the exams. All other classes will resume after you obtain these, and should you fail just know that you will be far behind compared to your classmates." He said looking at them, more specifically Shoto and Bakugou. "Alright, your time to start training starts now, get to it." He said before walking out, shocking the students with how quick this was even for Aizawa.

"Let's get to it guys. Two weeks isn't a lot but we can do this. We just gotta make some leaps and bounds." Izuku called to his classmates and they left quickly to start, spurred on by their class president's words and ready to get to this next step, even Bakugou said nothing and went along with only a slight scoff towards his classmates.

Izuku stepped into the gym where he and his classmates declared as their spot to prepare for their exams and he sighed all of them were doing good but he had just arrived. To be honest he had been wanting to store up his stamina for his quirk as he had drained it. He sighed and stretched lightly while observing his classmates as they practiced, and shook his head while smiling lightly. It had been a few weeks since he and Momo had that small heart to heart conversation and he had taken it to the t. He had taken the time to slowly and surely recover and true to his word he had never skipped out on a session with Hound Dog for therapy. He knew that it was going to benefit him, but he felt like he was a drain on resources for the school. That was also something that the two were working on together to try to overcome.

"Midoriya!" He heard and shook himself out of his mind and came to, showing a concerned Iida. Seeing his friend finally come back to himself, Iida went on. "As I was saying, would you mind helping me with my speed between our quirks?" He asked as Midoirya shook his head slowly.

"I actually can't, my stamina reserves for my quirk are so poor right now that I have to recover it before I try to use it like I have been." The green haired boy said and his blue haired friend nodded. "I would otherwise but I think I'm gonna focus a lot on strength for the day." His friend smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Good to see that you are still taking training seriously even though you aren't using your quirk! Very admirable! I wish you the best of luck!" The bespeckled teen said before speeding off around the gym to try to increase his speed while maintaining a good balance and control over himself. Midoirya sighed and smiled, shaking his head as his friend left. He took off his shirt and yawned, before stretching his muscles and grunting lightly. He let his body drop to the ground catching himself with his hands as he started to quickly do a set of push ups before doing some sit ups. He grunted after a while but was quickly enjoying the feeling of working his muscles. Unknown to him, he had a few admirers that were observing him.

"Dang Momo! You enjoying the view huh?" Mina teased her raven haired friend, as the girl started to glow red from embarrassment after the pink girl caught her staring at her, in her opinion, rather well built boyfriend who was doing push ups on the ground near the training area.

"Mina!" The girl yelped as she whipped around to her friend, who had seemingly come out of nowhere and surprised her. "I have no idea what you are talking about! I was just admiring Izuku's ability to persevere even when he is not feeling at his best!" She came up with quickly, but she had been in fact enjoying the view, she was training her quirk to come up with faster materializations for her quirk. Then she had caught sight of her shirtless boyfriend just constantly continuing on with his workout even with all the explosions and different quirks blasting off around him.

"WARMONGER!" She jumped at the screech coming from Bakugou who stalked closer to Izuku, causing her to subconsciously ready a staff in case she had to defend her boyfriend from the bully. "Push up contest to see who's better!" The blonde said dropping near the green haired teen, causing Kirishima to run over to do so as well to participate. Kaminari was quickly taking bets as the students had slowed or stopped their training so that they could watch the contest between the arguably three physically strongest and fit students of the class without their quirks. (Shoji doesn't count but he is pretty close to the strongest of the class just naturally.)

"I bet 1,000 yen on Bakugou!" Came the surprising call from Ochaco, who raised her money above her head causing Bakugou to blush bright red and turn away from a snickering Kirishima.

"I bet 2,000 yen on Kiri!" Mina said handing her money over to Kaminari who looked like he was having the time of his life and grinning like a mad man as he was counting the bills before being stopped by Momo who walked up to the front.

"20,000. On Izuku." The blacked haired beauty said confidently and pulled the money from her bag just like the others did, leaving them shocked and Izuku looking at her like she was crazy. Before anything could be taken back Kaminari snatched the bills and stashed them away before clearing his throats and making the three get next to each other in a starting position.

"Alright. No fighting, no weapons, no hardening, no explosions,no biting, kicking, scratching, etc." The blonde boy said grinning like a mad man before observing the boys as they got into position. "Start!" As they started they set an even pace with each other matching the others, while having a few students who didn't bet count for them. While the other two did have quirk training, it did affect their bodies so all three were relatively equal when it came to exhaustion.

"You extras should quit now! I'm gonna win this easily." Bakugou cackled from his spot on the ground, causing Izuku just to laugh mockingly and scoff while Kirishima took that as a challenge and made sure to keep up with the other two.

"You're on Bakubro!" Kirishima called and matched the blonde in pace while Izuku just stayed at his current pace. The green haired boy yawned and closed his eyes while letting himself drop a bit lower before pushing himself up explosively and clapping his hands behind before dropping back down to the normal position and continuing normal ones leaving the other two gaping at him as they continued. "What the hell?" Krishima called as he looked at the boy who just shrugged as best as he could while doing push ups.

"My quirk stock piles stamina so it makes sense that when I was a kid I had to figure out some way how to actually fight without it." He said as he looked at Momo and winked, making her blush lightly before she lightly hit the back of his head.

"Focus Izuku! I have money on you and you're showing off." She pouted and looked away, fanning herself, much to Hagakure's amusement and enjoyment. Izuku just laughed, his girlfriend was headstrong but the second she saw him with his shirt off after or during a workout her magnificent brain just seemed to shut off.

"Shut it Ponytail!" Bakugou barked and started going faster, his numbers starting to climb until Kirishima matched his pace, the three hitting around thirty with Bakugou closer to forty. "You two extras are falling behind huh!?" Bakugou goaded as he panted, his arms starting to shake the slightest bit as Kirishima refuted his claims and tried to catch up knowingly burning himself out quicker.

"Bakugou you keep talking to her like that and I'll beat the shit out of you in a fight after this." Izuku tried to push Bakugou's ego into overdrive, and easily succeeded.

"WHAT WAS THAT YOU SHITTY WARMONGER!" Bakugou yelled and went to move before Ochaco moved in front of him and did the same thing that Momo did to Izuku, shocking the class when Bakugou calmed down instantly, making him blush brightly. "Not worth the effort." And so the boys continued on and as they neared the one hundred mark is where the boys started to fail. As Bakugou and Kirishima slowed down, Izuku was able to keep up his pace from earlier catching them and over taking them which made the other two try to catch up.

"I. Can't. Do. It." Kirishima finally said breaking and falling to the ground flat on his chest, breathing heavily and his arms aching like they never did before.

"95! A brilliant showing from our oh so dear hard headed Kirishima!" Kaminari announced with some dramatics causing the class to laugh at his words even Kirishima who just rolled over and moved away from the two so they could continue on. Speaking of the other two they were dead locked with Izuku staying at least ten push ups ahead of the blonde boy. Both were soaked with sweat, Bakugou's shirt was stuck to him like it was painted on sticking in awkward areas making him move in different ways to try to unstick it unsuccessfully. Izuku was drenched in sweat, luckily not having a shirt on made it easier for him to continue but his workout before the contest made it harder for him to continue on. Both continued on somehow and refused to be out done by the other to the point where when they would go down it looked like their arms would shake so hard that they would just give out but everytime they managed to stay up. Suddenly Bakugou's hand slipped from beneath slamming him face first into the ground, panting and rolling on his side he said nothing as everyone cheered. "Midoriya is the winner!" Kaminari called as the boy flopped to the ground but smiled, rolling onto his back.

"I hated every second of it." He laughed, causing the rest of the class, even Bakugou to laugh with him.

"See! A distraction is sometimes warranted even when he is still holding that doubt in Shota." Midnight said as she and Aizawa stood in the doorway observing their students' competition against one another.

"Yeah, but they need it much more than I do right now." The sentence formed a frown on the 18+ heroine's face. "But, maybe I'll have to take you up on that distraction now." He smiled, causing the heroine to do the same as they walked away.
