AN: Hey guys here with an another chapter. Here is the start of the canon timeline. Now I was thinking to changing this pairing to Momo, probably going to stick with Ochako since she is my favorite girl. Anyway I also want to say that I changed the eye color for Izuku. His eyes are now more of the pale grey color, to make it show that he is blind. Originally I had it pale green. Also I have decided to bring back one of my OG stories, I don't know which yet, but we will see come Thursday. 10/11. Anyway it's time for reviews.
Reviews
OrigDayday: I don't think you will be disappointed. Izuku is getting OFA, but that doesn't mean that he is going to be like All Might. He is different from All Might, more rough and rugged. He's got that edge to him and remember he was trained by an assassin.
NotYoBusinness: I have not actually decided on the hero name yet honestly. I think that both Deku and Daredevil work well for him in this story. Deku being the hero that can do anything kinda goes well with the man without fear. Daredevil of course is Daredevil. We'll see when we get to naming hero's but I won't rule out either name.
Guest chapter 2 . Nov 5: Toga is not Elektra, Elektra is Elektra. Elektra is doing her own thing and will cross paths with Izuku in due time, but for now be patient.
Tiger chapter 1 . Nov 2: People have asked me to bring that story back. I will say this I will bring back one of my pervious stories. I don't know which yet. But the answer will be reveled on Thursday 10/11.
Any way that is it for reviews, please enjoy the chapter and peace out. Also leave comments and feedback, peace out.
Chapter 3: The Father and The Son
*Be-* Before the alarm could even begin to ring it's annoying and loud sound the clock had a gentle hand pressed down on it. The hand was rough and had light scars on it, soon a yawn followed as the owner of the yawn opened his eyes. The eyes were a pale green color that held no life in them. Once Izuku finished his yawn he got up from his bed, he was shirtless and not wearing anything, but his black briefs.
Izuku got out of his bed, his body riddled with faded scars from his training with his master. Izuku stood in the center of his room and stretched his arms out. The pop and cracks echo through his room giving the teen a virtual image of his room.
Once his stretches are done Izuku dropped down on the ground and began to do push ups. He did a total 100 push ups working up a light sweat, when he hit 100 he pushed himself off and wiped his brow. Izuku then grabbed his school uniform and hit the showers.
Izuku enjoys showers more than ever since he lost his sight. The water, especially when it was warm, relaxed his muscles to the point where he didn't want to leave. The teen sighed as the water hit the scars on his body, scars that he would have to live with for the rest of his life, but in exchange for the body work his skills were brought to a level that he never imagined for himself.
There is still work to be done, it's not over yet. Stick taught everything that he needed so it would be up to him now to evaluate himself to new levels. Especially after what his master told him about his other students and of others coming to test his might.
Izuku knows one of them is his absent master assassin uncle. The other though is unknown, Izuku doesn't even know her name. He could ask his mother, but it's probably best he deals with this himself. He is Stick's student and that means he has to deal with this.
Izuku turned off the water and stepped out of shower. He arrived at the mirror and wiped the mist from it. The blind teen grabbed his hair and felt that it had grown much larger than before, too large for his liking. It was time to cut down. Izuku will have his mother cut it before he leaves for school, but for now he will get dressed. The teen put on his uniform, buttoned up his shirt, and once dressed he left the bathroom. Izuku did not need his walking cane, that was mostly for show when he walks outside.
"Hey mom, can you cut my hair before you leave." Inko, who finished setting her son's heard his question, she looked at the time and nodded her head. Izuku still had some time before he needed to be dropped off at school.
"Sure honey," Izuku came to the kitchen and sat in the seat that his mother provided him. Soon he felt her soft hands roaming through his hair, combing it out and as she did this she asked Izuku what he was looking for.
"What do you want?" Izuku shrugged his shoulders, he wasn't exactly going to see it, but he did want something short, but not too short.
"Short, but not short where I'm bald." Inko laughed at her son at the thought of him having a bald head, the image of her mind was hilarious, but the look was not for her son.
"I have a look in mind." Izuku heard the scissors cut through his hair, he could feel the mop of hair that he once had started to get trimmed down like a bush. It didn't take long for Inko to finish cutting his hair down and when she was completed Izuku rubbed his head with his hand to get a feel for the new look.
"So, what do you think?" Inko asked her son, she had cut short, but left a little bit of his green curls. Izuku felt his hair still, so that was a good sign. After feeling his hair for a few moments the teen nodded his head, it would do.
"Thanks mom," Inko smiled at her son and then handed him his food, he came a long way from the day three years ago. She remembers when she brought him home from the hospital, he was so defeated, but after coming back from Stick he's changed.
She doesn't like it to admit, but Stick helped her son. Obviously he was stronger than before, but something in him had changed as well. When looking at his injury and all Inko is reminded of his father, perhaps there will be a day when she can tell Izuku about him. About who he is, but till that day arrives she must keep him safe.
"All finished mom." Izuku spoke to her, waking her up from her daze, Inko shook her head. She didn't realize she got lost in thought like that.
"Ok, grab your cane and shades and meet me by the car." Inko got up and took his plate, dumping it in the sink. She will clean the dishes later, she doesn't work...well, she doesn't do work that is legal. She still has her operation with the call girls, her girls keep her updated with any new info that is happening in the underworld and regular world. The biggest that came out is that Stick has a new apprentice, no one knows who, but it's only a matter of time before they know that it is her son.
When Inko dumped the dishes in the sink she grabbed her keys and made her way to the car, Izuku meanwhile grabbed his walking cane that was leaning on the wall and grabbed his green shades that were a bowl. He put on his shades to keep up the charade that he is truly blind, but rumors had started to spread about him.
Izuku got in the car, putting on his seatbelt. His mother began to drive the car as they drove. Izuku sat in silence as he listened to the world around him. The conversations that were going, the sound of people walking, the birds in the air, he was getting a virtual picture of all of it.
"Mom, take the next left." Inko raised her eyebrow, taking that next left will make the trip a lot longer. The usual way was a lot shorter, what's with the sudden change she wonders.
"What's happening or what do you see...or hear?"
"Hero battle, four miles up head. Three heroes and one giant villain. The heroes are Deatharms, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady. They seemed to be holding their own so it should be no problem, but I fear that property damage will take severe beating."
"Noted." Inko dragged out, taking the long way might actually be faster this way. Making the next left Inko avoided the battle up ahead and focused on getting her son to safety. It took a little longer to get to school, but it was definitely quicker than the original way. Inko pulled up to the school and Izuku got out, he kissed his mother goodbye.
"Bye mom," Inko waved goodbye to her as he walked out and began portraying the act of blind teenager. He moved his walking everywhere he went and people began to move to the side for him.
Though as Izuku was walking he was getting looks from many of the students, not only because he was blind, but because of the rumors surrounding him as of late. Rumors that people find hard to believe. Izuku heard the whispers about him and chose to ignore as he did with everything else when it came to him. Those that wish to try him are welcome to do so, but they best not too for their own sake.
In The Classroom
Izuku was listening to the lesson on hand and for the first time he wished he didn't have such great hearing. The teacher was boring and the classroom energy was proof of that, everyone was half asleep if not already asleep. When the lesson was completed the teacher turned around to see that his class was not even awake. The professor just shook his head, the kids only care one thing and that is heroism.
"Since the lesson is boring, how about we talk about heroes?" Everyone's ears perked up when they heard that, but there were two in the class who did not fall for the bait. When the class teacher got the reaction that he wanted he yelled at his students, Izuku covered his ears for he anticipated the scream and low behold the yell came.
"Idiots! You all kids think about being heroes. Have ever wanted that a hero might need to have some smarts in order to survive in the world. They're the only two of you that actually get that and that is Izuku and Katsuki. It would make sense since they are going to UA." Everyone was shocked that both students were going to UA. Katsuki was not so much a surprise, it was shocking, but everyone knew that he had a great quirk and he was strong. The real shocker was Izuku, he was blind for god's sake, but there were those that questioned how blind he truly was.
No one really knows how he got his injury, all they know is that when he became blind he disappeared for three years. Three years later he pops back up and comes back like everything is normal. "Hey, what about me teaching? I am going to try to get a UA as well." The ludicrous statement was said by nobody that no one cares about. No one really paid attention to him as well, everyone's eyes were still on Izuku. The teen himself just kept reading his braille.
"Since everyone's eyes are on him, if I kick his ass I would get some attention." The student said, he was not going to take on Katsuki since that was suicide, but Izuku he could handle. Lucky for him, another student next to him decided to save his life.
"That would not be a great idea." The cocky student turned his head to the other to see him, giving him a wary look.
"Izuku is not someone that you want to mess with. Trust me."
"Don't tell me you believe the rumors as well." The cocky replied with a roll of his eyes.
"Yes, I believe them cause I saw the aftermath of what happened." The other student turned his eyes back to the student just as the bell rang. The students were starting to leave, but the two that were talking decided to stay.
"What do you mean that saw?" The other student was a reporter for the school, a seeker of truth. When rumors pop up it's his job to navigate the truth and see what was real and what was not.
"I mean I saw it. Let me tell the real story of what happened. It all started when Izuku got back, everyone was surprised that he was blind, but went with it. Katsuki was top dawg at the time and still is...to some."
"What do you mean to some?"
"It means what it means. Anyway back to the story. Izuku was walking down the hallway until suddenly a girl bumps into him...long story short girl and him become genuine friends. Girl has a secret admirer that is the school bully...well was the school bully. Bully got a little jealous at Izuku for talking to his girl. So the bully decides to talk to Izuku. He and his gang, which consisted of six guys, grab Izuku out of the blue and bring him to the roof. I heard of this from my source and Katsuki got word of it as well. Both of us are now running up the stairs, one to help Izuku and I to get the story. When we arrived Izuku was standing tall with the bully and his gang all beaten down." The school reporter took a deep breath before even continuing, he still vividly recalls what happened and the image of what he saw was not going anywhere anytime soon.
"Izuku was standing tall? So he beat the bullies?"
"Beat is not even the word I would use to describe it. He annihilated them. The bullies were beaten straight to hell, broken noses, lost teeth, faces bloodied. Izuku did all that, his shades were gone so I saw his blind eyes, I saw those grey colored eyes. His fist was covered in their blood, so when you think that you can take him on, think about this story. Izuku is blind, but he is damn sure not weak." The reporter left the class just as he finished the story, leaving the one student to think twice about what was said.
Izuku walked out of the building just as the student finished his story. The reporter might have exaggerated here and there, but what he said was mostly true. The only thing wrong about the story was that it wasn't six, it was ten and Izuku sent them all to the hospital.
The teen began to make his way home, he didn't need his mother to pick him up. Besides, he rather walk, listens to the world. Izuku stopped for a moment, he folded his cane and then put the stick in his bag. When it was safely secured in the bag Izuku began to take off running. He really wanted to stretch his legs and what better way than parkour.
Izuku turned down the alley and jumped up at the wall, he then hopped up the wall and grabbed onto the fire escape. Izuku pulled himself with enough force to grab onto the next one above the one that he was one. He then began to back and forth and when gained enough swing power he swung himself up backwards. His feet landed on the railing gracefully.
Stick trained his body for this, teaching him how to climb and out of everything that Stick taught, that lesson was his favorite. Izuku ran up the fire escape to arrive at the roof, he then got back into running form as heading to the edge. The moment he arrived at the edge Izuku jumped forward, he landed on his feet and quickly got back to it. He slid underneath a clothing line, vaulted over a ventilation shaft and when saw the ledge he jumped this time there was no building in front of him.
Izuku dove down, he rolled his body so his feet would land on the ground and when he landed he rolled forward to get back to standing motion. Izuku smiled and just dusted some of his clothes off. 'That was a good workout, but if I had my club it would be more fun. The grapple hook function is entertaining.' Izuku thought as he slid down a hill, he was going to take a shortcut to get back to his house. The shortcut had to make him go through, but it was fine with the teen.
As Izuku walked through the tunnel his hands were in his pocket, as he kept his eyes closed as he walked. His ears were his ears, with which step he took he got the image of where he was, but he soon stopped in the middle of the tunnel. Izuku heard something from underneath him, something was coming and it was coming fast.
Izuku removed his hands from his pockets, the unknown creature was coming from the drainage pipe underneath him. The moment the creature sprung from the pipe it saw Izuku and went after him. When the creature landed at the spot where Izuku was, the villain expected to have a host to use, but instead he had nothing.
"What?" The villain questioned, he wondered if the kid went, he knew that he saw him.
"Looking for someone." Izuku said aloud as he leaned on the tunnel with his hands on his pockets, he looked directly at the thing in front of him and judging from the sound he was wearing and the image that he was getting it was something kind of slime monster.
"You're a quick one I see." Izuku smiled at the compliment, he wasn't really going to fight this guy. He could, but it would be a waste of time and energy, especially when someone else was coming after him. The teen could hear the footsteps, whoever this was moving very fast, so it would only be a matter of time. For now though Izuku could stall for time.
"I learned from the best." Izuku spoke to him as he moved off the wall, he was going to keep talking, it won't be long now. The footsteps edged closer and closer as they did the slime's criminal single eye movement when Izuku moved. The slime used its mud to block the path Izuku was going.
"Where are you going kid? Let's talk."
"Mom told me never to talk to strangers, something about them being sludge monsters was never an idea though." Izuku quipped as the footsteps underneath the earth edged closer and closer, whoever was coming was huge.
"Oh, but I'm a nice guy though. All I want to do is borrow your body for a little bit."
"Yeah, that doesn't sound creepy at all." Izuku quipped once again, the time was over now for the figure was here and when Izuku got an image of him the teen widened his blind eyes. Even his mouth dropped when he saw who was here and who this villain was running from.
"What's the matter kid, cat got your tongue." The sludge villain could see Izuku's shock, the teen didn't even respond, all he did was just point to a tall figure that was currently standing behind the villain. The sludge got curious and then realization hit him, the hero that had been chasing him had arrived.
"Oh, damn." The sludge villain turned around and saw what he feared, behind him standing tall and blocking the light from the tunnel was a hero of legend. The legendary All Might, wearing a white T-shirt, green pants, and black boots. His iconic smile was plastered on his face as he faced the villain in front of him.
"Bad guys always have to run." All Might formed a fist with his right hand. "Texas...Smash!" The number one hero and Symbol of Peace yelled out one of his special moves and punched the sludge literally blowing him away.
All Might wasn't done though, for he grabbed a water bottle from his back pocket, grabbing the pieces of the sludge and sticking him in the bottle. With the villain captured All Might looked to the green haired teen in front of him that still had a plastered look of shock on his face.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-You're All Might." Izuku finally got the sentence out and was still realizing that he was meeting his favorite hero in the world. This was the man that made him want to be a hero. The man that saved ten people from a destroyed building and did it all with a smile. The man that defeated Hateful 8 villain group and the Legendary Juggernaut. This was fucking All Might.
"Last time I checked, that was me. Are you hurt young man?" Izuku shook his head, he was really seeing All Might...well not really see, but you get the idea. He could hear his strong heart beat, it was like a loud drum that was constantly being hit on a consistent beat. It might be one of the loudest heartbeats that Izuku may have ever heard before in his life.
"Well, it was nice meeting you young man, stay in school." All Might turned and waved goodbye to Izuku, not even getting the teen's name. Izuku could not let that happen, he had to introduce himself, or at least have a conversation with the hero. Just as All Might took off to leap the teen did the unthinkable, he jumped on his back with hesitation or fear in his mind.
All Might was already in the air now and he didn't realize that he had gotten hitchhiked till the Izuku called out to him. "It's rude leaving without getting someone's name." All Might's eyes widened when heard that voice, he turned his head to see that the teen was indeed on his back.
"Young man, this is very dangerous!" All Might said aloud, but Izuku didn't care. He just had to tell the hero his name, little does he know that his name will open a door that he didn't know existed.
"Sorry, but I had to tell you my name. Maybe one day we will meet in the future." Izuku told him casually ignoring the fact that All Might was greatly worried for his safety. Izuku did not care in the slightest that it was in the air, it was not the first time.
"I understand that, but please realize-
"My name is Izuku, Izuku Midoriya." All Might widened his eyes once again when he heard that name, his jaw nearly hit the ground when heard Izuku's name. The hero had been so shocked that he stopped paying attention. Everything was in standstill honestly to him, the bottle that was his hand was dropped for his lost grip on it. Not paying attention to anything, but the boy on his back.
Izuku could hear the heartbeat of All Might, he heard the skip, something had happened to him. Whatever happened to him had to be dealt with later for they were about to hit a building.
"Uh, All Might." Izuku pointed to the building, but it seemed like All Might still didn't pay attention, all he could look at was Izuku. Izuku saw the building with his radar vision and decided to jump off All Might, there was a building underneath him.
All Might watched the boy fall and land on the building and in return he was met face to face with concrete. Izuku winced when he heard the smack, 'That had to hurt.' Izuku thought while that smack did hurt it also helped All Might come back to his senses. The man removed himself from the wall and looked down at the teen below him.
'Could it really be?' All Might wondered with shock and surprise in his thought, could Izuku really be who he says he is. He had to confirm it, just to make sure that this was not some kind of sick game that the world is playing him. Izuku heard All Might come down to face him, now both teen and adult were face to face. All Might overshadowed the teen since he was much taller, since he had shades on he could not tell if his eyes were his mother.
"You're name...You-You said that it was Izuku...Izuku Midoriya correct?" Izuku nodded his head and All Might now had to ask one more of many questions, but this one was to truly prove if Izuku is who he says he is.
"And your mother, is she Inko Midoriya?" Izuku once again nodded his head, but now had questions as well.
"You know my mom?" Izuku asked and All Might was trying not to pass out, it had been so long since he had seen them. So many years, decades even and now...now he was standing face to face with his son.
The last time that he spoke to Inko she told him that she had a child named Izuku, but after that nothing. All Might had made the choice to leave them to protect them from his enemies and Inko's, but here he was. Izuku right in front of him.
"All Might...Are you alright. I can hear your heart rate jumping massively, it also looks like you're about to cry." All Might wiped his eyes and indeed there were tears, he had to compose himself quickly and fast before his time runs...wait did Izuku say that he could hear his heartbeat.
"You can hear my heart-Ah shit." Izuku was confused when All Might mentioned his mom, now he was even more confused for a giant cloud of smoke that appeared when All Might and now he was getting a different kind of heartbeat. This was one slow, weaker, image that he was getting that could not be from All Might. Where the large and powerful hero once was a smaller and less powerful figure.
"All...Might?" Izuku asked as he looked at the image that was in front of him. He heard a sigh from the man that he now figured had to be All Might. He best tell him the truth about this form, his son deserves that much.
"Long story short, there was a big battle with this powerful villain and I got hurt pretty badly after defeating him. The injury to my side cost me my stomach and limited me to three hours worth of hero time. That is why I haven't made public appearances lately."
"Oh," What could Izuku really say after hearing that, the greatest hero in the world is still doing his job after taking an injury such as that. That is...that is just...wow. That is the best word to describe what Izuku really heard. While Izuku was still taking in what he just heard, All Might sat down, it was time for him to get some answers. Answers that were long overdue.
"Wait, also how do you know my mother?" Izuku asked the elder hero and All Might heart jumped once more and Izuku heard it. Whenever All Might heart jumps it seems to have something to do with him or his mother. What is the connection there?
"We...are old acquaintances." Izuku didn't believe that, he didn't believe that for one second for as much as All Might kept a straight face his heart told another story.
There was a jump, but not only that he smelt sweat coming from his brow. Stick had taught him a long time ago on how to read people and right now the greatest hero in the world is straight lying to him. What reason for that though? Did All Might know about his mother's past? Could that be the reason?
"Now enough about me, tell me about yourself." Izuku didn't expect that at all, he didn't expect any of this. What does he really do with this situation. Stick taught him to take advantage of any situation given to him. So he did just that. Izuku sat down in front of All Might and began to have an experience that he will never forget. He had a conversation with the number one hero.
"Well where do I start?"
"Tell me about that quirk of yours. You said he could hear my heartbeat, that is quite an impressive ability." All Might commented with a smile, this was an experience for him as well for it was the first real conversion that he was having with his son.
"Well, I wouldn't exactly call it quirk. It is an ability though, one of many that I learned to control." Izuku could still see that All Might was confused and decided to elaborate, but before doing that he took off his glasses showing All Might something that he did not expect to see. When the shades came off All Might had to hold his breath when he saw the pale grey eyes of his son, the eyes were nothing like his or Inko's. They were just a pale grey color.
"Your eyes," All Might whispered, but Izuku heard him nonetheless.
"Yeah, I'm blind. All my life I wanted to be a hero and then one day I found out that I was quirkless, years go by and one day I am walking home still with the idea and belief that I can become a hero. I saw this man crossing the street and a truck was coming his way. I was able to get to the man quickly enough and pushed him out of the way as well. The truck however swerved and missed me thankfully of course, but the items that it was carrying were not so lucky. A barrel of hazardous chemicals spilled out and got into my eyes thus this." Izuku pointed to his eyes where the even light burn marks were around his eyes.
"Next couple days were kinda rough, but as the days go by I start to hear things. People talking from afar, car sounds, birds chirping, I heard everything more clearly than anyone else and the noise became too much one day. Luckily for me that was the day that my mom called a family friend and he taught how to control my powers." All Might, like Izuku when he told him his story, did not know how to take it. Anger is the first word that comes to mind, no furious, pissed off, livid, you know what all those words come to mind. All Might if he wasn't the trained hero that he was would be going ballistic right now.
Izuku being quirkless he's not all that surprised by, that comes from his side, but Izuku being blind. That is where All Might draws the line. Inko should have told him of this accident the day that it happened instead she kept it to herself. How could she do that? How could she not tell him?
Not only that, there was the mention of a family friend during Izuku's story. God knows who could that be. Hisashi, he hopes not. What about Elektra or any of the other assassins or criminals that she knows? Whatever the case maybe Inko did something that was unforgivable and that was keep this secret from him. They were going to have a talk and they were going to be having it very, very, very soon.
"That...That is quite the story of young Izuku. But you pulled through, not many would have the strength or will that to overcome a traumatic injury such as that." Izuku smiled hearing those words from All Might.
"Yeah, well there is still a long way to go. I plan on going to UA when I graduate high-school." All Might smiled when he heard that, his boy was just like him. Going to be a second generation hero student at UA.
"That's good, UA is the best school and with some of the best teachers that can help grow and mature as a hero. They did it for me." Izuku nodded his head and as much as Izuku wanted to continue the conversation he wanted to remind All Might that he may have lost something.
"All Might, did you lose something?" All Might was confused for a moment, but then it hit like the wall that earlier. The man rubbed his face with his hand, this was bad. The bottle that contained that criminal was gone, he must've dropped it when Izuku gave him his name. Now that it's gone from his possession it's going to be up to him to find it.
"Shit. I'm sorry young man, but I must cut our conversation short. It was nice meeting you Izuku, but I must go."
"Wait," Izuku called out to his idol, it would take hours for All Might to find the villain, but it would only take him a couple of minutes...if seconds.
"I can find him faster. I told you that I can hear things, well that is a vague description of what I can do. When someone makes a sound they send off an echo that allows them to see the world around me, I call it my Radar Vision. Give me a few moments and I will have the location of the villain and then we can go after together." All Might was about to protest this, this was his responsibility and his fault, but the moment he saw the smile on Izuku he knew that there would be no arguing with him. That smile that was on his boy belonged to no other, but him. It was his smile. A smile that assured someone that everything was going to be alright.
When All Might nodded his head Izuku nodded his own and crossed his legs and began to focus. Years of training to hone his abilities was now about to be shown. Izuku closed his eyes and entered a world that he called the Echo Room. In this room Izuku saw nothing, but darkness, but soon the darkness was replaced by echoes of the world around him. Every sound of a living creature, every breath of air, every step, every sound was being heard by the teen.
Izuku had to focus on what he wanted to hear, if not he would hear everything and it would take much longer to find his target. He remembers that sound of the sludge, the slime that dripped from his form. He remembered that sound and focused on it, soon the echos began to appear all over around Izuku. Izuku ignored the other sounds, blocking them out. It was a lesson Stick taught him when the sound began too much.
'If you try to hear everything your ears are going to rupture. Focus on what you want to hear instead of everything else.' Izuku did just that, the loud world that he loved was now silent as he focused on a single sound. Soon an echo appeared, a single echo with a voice with it.
"I'm going to be borrowing this body kid." He knew that voice to be that of the villain that attacked him, but who was he talking to?
"The fuck are you?" Izuku opened his eyes, he recognized that ruff rouge voice anywhere. It was Katsuki and it looked like he was in trouble. He exited the echo world and opened his eyes, he released an exhale of breath. The world had returned to normal now that he extended the room, but he got the sound. He has the location and now he and All Might need to hurry to Katsuki's location. If the sludge villain gets his hands on them the damage could be very bad.
"I found him. We need to go now." Izuku quickly got up and before All Might could even say a word the teen ran to the ledge and jumped from the building making All Might's heart nearly pop out of chest. All Might quickly ran to the edge of the building to see if his son was alright and he was, but he might not be. Izuku landed on the ground without a scratch on his body and looked up at All Might with his blind eyes.
"You coming or what?" Izuku then began to run into the direction of where the sludge villain was. All Might shook his head, like father like son indeed. Running head first into danger without a plan. Something that he most certainly got from his side. All Might thought buffed up into his hero form, he could force a little more out...just this once.
"Just a little bit more." With him being in his strongest form All Might leapt from the building as well and followed behind Izuku. Izuku was running at his fastest speed blowing, making everyone look to where the teen was going. He was moving as fast as he could, for now he could hear the explosions, the sludge had gotten his hands on Katsuki.
"All Might, we need to hurry!" Izuku screamed to the hero above and All Might to where the smoke was, he found the location as well now. The hero still had some gas left him, but not much. He channeled more power from his quirk, soon yellow lighting danced around him. All Might crashed to the ground, but controlled his impact to not shatter the ground. He grabbed Izuku and put him over his shoulder, where then put all his energy into his legs.
"Hold on." All Might told the hero as Izuku soon got another experience of being in air with All Might. The hero jumped up with great height that took them high in the air.
"Whoa," Izuku exclaimed, even though he wasn't expecting something like that. All Might silently chuckled at his son's reaction. He won't lie, he did have dreams about doing this with Izuku. Dreams have carried him through the air on his shoulders, but those dreams are long gone now. What he can do now is focus on the future and try to have the best relationship he can have with his son.
When Izuku and All Might arrived at the location, All Might slowed their descent by floating, something he picked up from his old master. When they landed Izuku got off the shoulder of All Might and heard what was going on. Meanwhile All Might had de-buffed, he had used more than he originally wanted to and it was going to take some time for him to recover.
"Things are looking bad. Heroes don't have anything under control." Izuku could see the flipped cars, the heroes trying their best, but failing, and a scared heartbeat. It seemed like it was coming much further from the fires or heroes. Izuku listened more closely, the sludge and inside of him was Katsuki. The scared heartbeat was Katsuki!
"All Might-" Izuku paused when he saw the form of All Might, he was not the hero that he once was, but now in the skinnier form.
"I'm sorry, Izuku, but I don't have anything left." All Might already predicted what his son was going to say to him, but he could not help no longer. His limit was reached. Izuku bit his lip, there has to be a way to save Katsuki. The teen tried to plead with the hero with the best of his abilities.
"You have to, the heroes are not getting it done. They need you! That thing has someone that I know and as much as a dick that he is, he is the one that helped when I was at my lowest. So please help him." All Might now wanted to help Izuku, but he still couldn't.
The man just looked down and Izuku gritted, looking like it was up to him. Stick taught him that the only person that he counts on to get the job done is only him and at first he didn't believe in that lesson, but seeing this now it looks like it was true.
"Fine, stay on the sidelines like a coward. I will handle this myself." Izuku had enough and decided to save Katsuki himself. All Might on the other hand could not believe that he was just called a coward and by his own son no less. All Might was about to tell him off to remind him that he was at his limit, but remember something. His school motto. Go beyond, plus Ultra. That is his rule, to surpass one's limit and right now he is failing.
Izuku left the hero, he walked through the crowd pushing everyone out of his way. The more he pushed through the more he began to pick up speed. As he speed increased, Izuku got into running, he ran as fast as he could and hopped over the barricade.
"Hey kid, wait!" One of the officers yelled, but Izuku had no intention of stopping. The smoke was thick and the fires were hot, but he was unafraid. Izuku could see through the clouds of smoke and saw where the sludge was. The blind teen ran forward, everyone eyes on him as he ran to the villain. The sludge villain turned to Izuku to see that it was the child that got him caught, but this time he paused for he was looking at the eyes of the teen. He saw the pale grey eyes, the kid was blind.
"Wait, you mean to tell me you were blind this whole time." Izuku smirked at him and the villain growled, he used the body that he had in Katsuki and launched his hands forward to fire an explosion. Izuku heard the echo, it bounced to him. He smelt the nitroglycerin that was on Katsuki's hands, the small sparks that were emitting from his hands. He was about to fire and the teen was ready for it.
Izuku moved to the right first to avoid the first explosion, he then hopped on to the hood of the car to avoid another. The sludge villain was getting annoyed now as he aimed both hands at Izuku and fired the explosion, but it was still useless. Izuku was too quick, too fast, too nimble.
The teen leapt up into the air and avoided the third explosion and this one destroyed the car. While in the air though, Izuku reached for his book-bag and fished for his walking stick. When he grabbed the folded cane he threw it with pinpoint accuracy at the exposed eye. The cane landed directly on the eye and bounced right off of it. Izuku ran forward and caught it, unfolding it to make his cane. Izuku wields it now like a sword, and uses it like a sword he will.
Izuku with his eyes trained on the villain moved forward to his eye, if that was the weak spot and looked it to be then he was going to exploit it. Izuku dashed forward and swung his cane, nailing the eye of the villain.
The villain retaliated by swinging its many tendrils, but Izuku ducked under one and leaped over. Izuku broke the canes making two sticks and threw them at walls on the opposite sides of him. The two pieces of sticks bounced off the wall and ricochet right to the exposed eye. The eye being hit not once, but twice and making the villain delirious.
With the sludge staggered Izuku moved in to fish out Katsuki out of all that mud, he could hear his heartbeat, the problem for him was ripping through the stuff. Izuku clawed and clawed until he found the ash-blonde teen, he freed his mouth so he could breath.
"Deku, what the hell are you doing?"
"Saving you asshole." Izuku screamed as he pulled Katsuki out of the mud, it felt like Katsuki was stuck to the stuff, the sludge really didn't want to let go.
Finally though Izuku got Katsuki free and pulled him out of the mud, now both teens were in trouble. The sludge did not like that he lost his meat bag. Katsuki could see the sludge grew larger and Izuku could hear the slime churn, this was bad.
Both teens got ready for an attack, Izuku put up his fist and Katsuki opened his palms. He was ready for some payback, but the teens would have to get another day to display their fighting the sludge attacked with his tendrils the boys were ready to move, that was until a figure appeared in front of them. Izuku and Katsuki widened his eyes when he saw that it was All Might. The hero in front of the teens using his body as a shield, this was his fight and this is where he should be.
'To think that it took my own son calling me a coward for me to remind me of who I am. I am the Symbol Of Peace. I am All Might!' All Might looked back at the two boys, but more so Izuku than anyone else. To see his boy be a hero, it actually brought a tear to his eye watching.
"I can't let you kids handle my mistake. What kind of hero would I be if I did that? Allow me boys, let me show what the power of a number one is like." All Might turned his attention back to the sludge making the villain widen his lone eye. He saw the dangerous eyes of his hero, All Might blue orbs began to glow a bright blue color. Yellow lighting danced around his body just as he made a fist with his right hand.
"Time for you to go villain. You pissed me off enough for the day." All Might cocked his fist back while he held tightly onto the sludge with his left hand. There was going to be no escape this time for the criminal.
"Detroit...SMASH!" All Might launched his right fist forward hitting the sludge right where a human chest would be. The power of the strike exploded out of All Might fist and blew the sludge all over the place, it was like an air cannon. The shot from All Might didn't just stop with the sludge, the sheer power of it blew away the fires, it cleared the smoke, and made a hole in the sky.
Izuku felt the power from the punch, he and Katsuki were nearly blown away from it. Izuku had never felt anything like that, the wind that he was feeling on his skin that was all caused by the power of All Might. He saw some amazing things thanks to the loss of his eyes, but he doesn't think that he will ever forget what he saw right now for a long time.
"Wow," Izuku whispered as the sky began to clear, the people roared for All Might while the man fist was still in the air. Izuku looked to0 Katsuki to see that he was alright, there were no injuries that he could see. So that means that his work here is done. Izuku grabbed his shades from his pocket and soon departed from the scene like he was never there to begin with.
When the dust settled everyone was looking for All Might and Izuku, but no one could find them. They were both gone and left one man to get a lecture from the senior hero on duty. Katsuki growled as he heard the words of Kamui woods coming into heat. When he sees Deku or All Might again he is going to make them pay for ditching him here.
With Izuku
Izuku continued walking home, he broke his cane so he was going to have to go without it. He was going to take the scenic route and go on the rooftops, but someone was following him. "I want you to know it's impossible to sneak up on a guy that can hear heartbeats."
"Well they do say sneaking up on blind men is very hard and I can see that it's true." The figure revealed himself to Izuku, but he already knew who he was. It was All Might in his skinny form, the man walked out of the alley with a curious look on his face.
"That was quite reckless what you did back there." Izuku shrugged his shoulders, not looking at the man. He just kept his eyes forward, as he didn't expect this conversation to be long.
"My mom told me that I'm like my dad sometimes. Always running head first into danger." All Might felt some happiness when heard that, Izuku may not know who he is, but he does know what he did.
"Yes, he was quite reckless." A moment of silence was shared between Izuku and All Might, both had something to say, but neither side wanted to take the leap to say it. On Izuku's side he wanted to know more about his father, about his mother and the shared connection she has to All Might. On All Might's side he just wanted to hug Izuku and tell him that he was his father, to say sorry for all the years that he was not there for him. But neither side is ready to open that door, in time maybe, but not yet.
"So, this goodbye then." All Might should leave there, he should not even think about what is passing through his mind. If he does this, if he takes this action then the door that he will open will never close. There will be no going back, but this is a way to protect his son. To make sure he knows that he loves, even long after he has left this world.
"No...No, not yet. Izuku has a special gift and I'm not talking about your eyes. Your heart, your courage, your fearlessness. You called me a coward and that awakened my fighting spirit and while that was happening he held his own against the villain and freed your friend. You could be a great hero, the best if...if you allow me I can give you another gift."
"What gift are you offering?" Izuku now turned to All Might to see him opening his hand, but there was nothing there.
"My gift to you will be my power. My time is nearing its end Izuku and I need to find a successor to replace me. Someone to hold my power and carry on the legacy of my masters. I believe that person is you, Izuku. So if you allow me I can train you to master this power and show you the path of being a great hero." Izuku was quite shocked at the offering, this was an opportunity that he could pass down. A chance to learn under the great All Might, a chance for a father to teach his son. Both sides wanted this. So there was only one answer.
"When do we start?"
