Sorry it took a bit longer to get this one done. It's another long one. I really gotta make these shorter but a lot happens here. Not to mention the Holidays and the other things I'm going through.

So due to the huge length of this chapter it is being split up into two parts. Part one is being posted now and part two will be posted tomorrow. So with that out of the way, let's get this started.

I only own my OC and the plot of this here story. All characters and locations in the MHA world are property of Kōhei Horikoshi. Star Wars is owned by Disney. Enjoy the new chapter!

Binding the Galaxy Together

Chapter 16: Secrets Revealed (Part 1)

Most people say that each day brings about knew knowledge. That was certainly true in a lot of ways. Kids and school took on different lessons each day and even adults acquired new daily facts to add on to their repertoire that is their brains. And ultimately in the end, all one could hope for was when their moment came they learned enough and passed it on to the next generation for them to pass on and add to as the years went by.

In the case of a certain Jedi Padawan, it was a lot more than just daily facts.

For the past four and a half months now, Camilla was now essentially being drilled into her brain different facts about planet Earth along with her physical training. Mandalore Island days were reserved for learning to hone her skills with Mirko and Ryukyu and all the other days were spent learning more and more about hero society to get her ready for the written portion of the U.A. entrance examination. Then to add in a nice little cherry on this sundae that was her entry course into being a permanent Earthling, the Braille lessons came.

True to his word, Detective Tsukauchi had gotten Camilla enrolled in a class to learn Japanese Braille at the Musutafu Disabled Helping Hands Organization. Even though no one there cared about what her quirk was if she had one or not, she was still a bit nervous at first but the blind Jedi steeled her nerves and sat down with the teachers who were more than happy to help her learn how to do something not even the Jedi taught her. This was brand new territory in yet another brand new territory for her that it was almost a bit too much. She was excited to learn how to do something most people do on a normal daily basis. Maybe it wouldn't be ink or on a screen or anything like that but it would still be reading and writing. When lesson one began, she listened intently as she took those first steps.

The weeks went by and the teachings went on in all her subjects. The girl literally felt like she was already in school. Different subjects on different days of the week with different teachers, it sure felt like the old days at the temple. One of the glaring differences was there was no one here who was making fun of her or writing her off. Instead her caretakers were encouraging her and giving her support she didn't even ask for. Even the standoffish Mirko was rooting for the kid. She would never say it out loud but Camilla could still sense her small feelings of joy whenever she jumped over a hurdle in her way.

As far as her Force abilities went, Camilla still noticed the exorbitant amount of Force energy washing over this planet was boosting every power she had. Her telekinesis had increased in limit, her speed made her faster, and her ability to perceive the world around her had taken less effort than usual. Even using mind tricks and meditation had come easier to her. That vision of hers is a testament to that. Normally only going to a world like Felucia or one that was lush in wildlife could give her a small boost but thanks to the superhuman energy of this one, she felt supercharged. Despite all that however, Mirko and Ryukyu still worked her to the bone to make sure those new limits of hers could still be pushed. After all that was the motto of the school she was gunning for. The only hold-off on her skills was her lightsaber forms. With her single green blade she was getting faster and more precise in movements. Her holocrons helped her out with that. But she wouldn't try to use her master's sword in tandem with her own. Dual wielding took a lot of practice and without being able to see the real positions the holocrons projected, she would be working off scratch. Camilla didn't want to risk seriously hurting one of the pros drilling her, or herself with a wayward swing of the sword. Ryukyu understood and Mirko did as well albeit begrudgingly. The girl had two, she should use two. It was that simple. Even her friends would tell her that if they knew the full truth of what was going on here.

Speaking of her friends, also as time passed, Camilla's bond with both Izuku and Ochako had grown a lot closer. Whenever she had a day off or was done with her training for the day, she always took off to spend the rest of the day with either one of them or both of them. She knew Izuku was already on a tight schedule of his own with All Might training him and the whole each cleanup project, but the number one hero thankfully understood the importance of every hero having allies and friends they could count on if they couldn't get the job done themselves. He just asked his successor to please keep his involvement in his training a secret from this new Ochako girl for a little while longer. He agreed understanding why, and Ochako was thankfully not one to pry. In fact she was actually quite nice. When he told her he was quirkless and he was still trying to go for U.A., her reaction was the same as Camilla's. She supported his dream and even encouraged him to go for it. The green haired boy had to put in a lot of effort in that moment to keep himself from blushing so hard he died. The reaction did get a good laugh out of Camilla though.

Ochako was brought up to speed as much as Izuku was about her current situation. She was not from Japan, came from a very remote and isolated place, how Ryukyu and Mirko found her and moved her into the Dragon's Lair building, and she knew next to nothing about the current hero society the world operates under. The gravity girl was just as surprised as Izuku was to hear something like that. How could anyone not know about the hero world? It just seemed so absurd to even consider the idea. When she asked about what Camilla's home was like, the blind girl started to answer but Ochako could sense some pain in her voice. So she told her she didn't have to say a thing if she didn't want to. All Ochako knew was that she wanted to be a hero and that told her what she considered to be everything she needed to know. At least for the moment it did.

Although they promised not to pry into her life, Izuku and Ochako both grew curious about the true nature of their newfound friend. It wasn't every day you come across someone like her. Raised with no knowledge of the world and had one of the most incredible quirks they had ever heard of. Forceful Mind seemed like it could do it all. Move things with the mind, allow a blind girl to see, sense emotions, when Izuku told Ochako that she could hypnotize people too, the girl nearly fell out of her seat at the Midoriya dinner table, which had become a regular place for her to be in the evening since becoming friends with Izuku. It sure was preferable to eating alone at her place.

There was another issue too. While Izuku and Ochako were both curious about Camilla, that curiosity went another way. Ochako and Camilla grew a little more curious about Izuku as well. Only the latter knew about All Might being his mentor and trainer while Ochako did not. All she knew about was his workout plan and what he was doing to execute it; the beach cleanup. Any further than that she was in the dark about. And it made Izuku feel very guilty. These two girls were his first real friends in years. He didn't want to start out new friendships based on lies but this secret, he had to keep it. All Might was counting on him to keep it. That didn't stop the guilt from weighing him down day after day though. He really had grown to care about these two in the few months he had known them and…he just didn't know what to do.

One night in his room when he was thinking about just picking up the phone and telling them, he was scrolling through his laptop looking up not All Might for a change but rather Ryukyu. Meeting her a few times had made Izuku want to research more into her as well. She was the number nine hero for a reason after all. The web searching Izuku had done added so many more pages on Ryukyu's entry into his notebook. Izuku kept scrolling down the headlines to keep learning about the dragoon hero. He stopped when he found an article titled, "Ryukyu Diverts Crashing Aircraft". Interested in the title, he clicked on the link and the news site it was on opened up. Above the written text article, there was a video embedded. Izuku hit play and listened as the reporter on the screen matched nearly word for word what the text below said. The reporter was standing just in front of the entrance to the beach where a tow truck was seen next to him.

"It was here at this beach only an hour ago now that an unidentified object fell from the sky headed towards downtown. Pro Hero Ryukyu was able to divert the object to the beach where no one was to be harmed. First responders worked as fast as they could to evacuate the beach but it still looks like medical attention was still needed. Not long after whatever it was crashed, an ambulance was seen arriving onto the beach and someone loaded into it. Neither Ryukyu nor Mirko have given any sort of statement that tells us who was hurt or what it was that fell. Cleanup workers arrived before news vans got here to try and see what it was but it was already gone. We're hoping for an official statement from either of the pro heroes for clarity soon."

After the short video stopped, Izuku looked at the date this article was published. It was back in May. A couple days before he met Camilla for the first time. Suddenly in Izuku's mind, he was imagining Camilla as a puzzle that seemed to divide into more pieces to put together. He remembered the ground shaking a bit one night in that time but he figured it was just another villain attack. They do happen often enough. Maybe Mount Lady stomped down too hard somewhere. Apparently it was a plane crash and only one person was injured and needed medical attention. Could it have been Camilla? Too many things lined up. The fact that Ryukyu and Mirko were both there only seemed to make it more likely that there was more to this than met the eye. But forcing the issue could be the wrong move here. After all, he was barely one to talk when it came to keeping secrets.

And that brought him right back to where he was before. Thinking more and more about if he should tell his two friends about his real way into getting into U.A., and the quirk that would make it happen. Another issue was going to be how he did it. He couldn't just call them on the phone and leave a voicemail saying, "Hi Uraraka. Hi Camilla. Just thought I should let you know that All Might found me one day and chose me to inherit his quirk from him which happens to be probably the most powerful quirk in human existence. Now you know. Bye." The next thing that would probably happen after that was his door being knocked on by medical professionals ready to commit him to the nearest mental health facility. He let himself fall to his bed exhausted both physically and mentally trying to make everything about this just the tiniest bit clearer. Maybe All Might himself would be able to shed a bit of light on the subject. All he knew right now was that he trusted Ochako and Camilla completely. And for him that was enough.

"I have to tell them."

Miles away as she sat cross legged on her borrowed bed in the Dragon's Lair, a heavy amount of guilt was also weighing down on the young ruby haired Jedi as she tried to meditate on what she should do. Like her friend, just unknowingly, she too felt ashamed for hiding the truth about her from her two friends for this long. True this was a world where people with insane powers are commonplace and Ochako and Izuku both have lived in it and gotten used to those abnormalities for their entire lives. In Ochako's case she had her own power to hone and perfect. Even with all of that, there were still things that would most definitely come as a complete shock to them. Enough to possibly even rattle the very foundations of their world views. The revelation that they aren't alone in the universe and that powers are attainable without having quirks, Camilla was of course afraid of what they would think of her. She tried so hard to push that fear down and remember her training as a Jedi to combat it but in this sense, it wasn't working. She tried to think of any other way she could prolong this, maybe think of some way to ease them into it but in the end, she knew there was going to be no easy way to have this talk. It also didn't mean it didn't need to be had. As she slumped down to her pillow while wearing the pajamas Nejire bought for her months ago, she came to one conclusion.

"I have to tell them."

She just had to let her guardians know about it in the morning, and R3 when he came out of low power mode. For now, she slept and hoped against hope that tomorrow would not spell the end of her friendships.

The next morning was a Saturday. And for All Might, that meant he would be spending most of the day with Izuku. Not just at the beach cleaning up trash, but out for the rest of his workouts that only the weekend warranted time for. The number one hero was very strict and quick to remind Izuku that going off book from the plan he set out for him was not advised. He designed the plan to perfectly build Izuku up to the place he would need to be in to inherit One For All safely. Any more than that wasn't needed. He was sure of that. He trusted the scrawny boy to stick to the plan but some mornings he swore he could see bags underneath Izuku's eyes. He never pried but there was a part of him screaming that he really should. If there was even the slightest chance Izuku was going off book, it would not be good for any of them.

As the sun began to crest over the ocean, All Might could hear footsteps getting closer to him. Sure enough there was Izuku like clockwork. As he got closer All Might studied his facial features. There were the bags again. Time to pry.

"Young Midoriya."

As Izuku came to a halt in front of his idol, the tone he used to address him made him go stiff. He actually couldn't decide which form of his was more intimidating. The muscular form he and the world knew and admired, or the walking bag of bones that stood before him.

"Y-yes All Might?"

"Why do you look so tired?" All Might really hoped his answer wasn't the one he was thinking of.

"I couldn't get to sleep last night." Izuku admitted while looking at his shoes. "I was thinking a lot."

All Might's tension eased up.

"Thinking? About what?"

Izuku could sense that tension was gone as well as he looked into All Might's gaze. He didn't seem as intimidating anymore so he just went ahead and asked.

"All Might, how do you know you can trust someone?"

The number one pro took a few moments to let that question process in his mind. Turns out, that was a much bigger question than he was expecting and not one he knew how to answer immediately. Being the bearer of One For All came with a price after all. In his experience, trusting someone was not a luxury that came easy. Allies that shared a common goal with him, those were easy. But full on friends he would trust, those were much scarcer to him.

"That's…a loaded question." He started to answer. "If I had to answer you though, I guess it would be a matter of circumstances mixed with instinct."

"Circumstances and instinct?" Izuku repeated.

All Might nodded.

"Yes. Instinct though, that one is more important than the other. There are a few people in my life who know the truth about me and One For All. Some of which you will meet once you get to U.A. One or two of them knew about it before I ever did so that was circumstance. The other people who know, they know because my instincts told me I could trust them. And let me tell you. Trusting someone doesn't come easy when you hold a secret like this for so long. But after everything I've seen them do and finding out the people they are within, I divulged my secret and I've trusted them with it ever since."

Izuku was astounded by how simple All Might made it sound. His instincts were telling him that his initial thoughts were right. This was definitely going to be the right move. All he had to do now was sell All Might on it.

"Why have you asked me this, young Midoriya?"

Better to do it now than later he supposed.

"All Might, there's something I want to do."

"You wanna tell the green bean and floater girl you're an alien?"

Mirko did not appreciate being called to Ryukyu's building on her day off. Sitting there on the couch of her friend's office in her casual clothes with her arms crossed, she was nearly positive this was just gonna be something silly. When Camilla opened her mouth, it turned out it was anything but. The Jedi wanted to divulge everything about her. So there was a reason she was here along with Tsukauchi this early in the morning. Nejire was gone for the weekend visiting her grandparents in the country and wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

"Kid I really don't think that's a good idea." Mirko voiced her disagreement.

"Why not?" Try as she might, Camilla couldn't find any fault with her idea. "Look, I've gotten to know both Izuku and Ochako for the past four months. Neither of them have a dishonest bone in their body."

"Really think about this, Camilla." Ryukyu warned. "I know you trust your friends. But it's not just you being an alien you'll be divulging. It's your power you want to tell them about too. All of that…aren't you afraid it will break them?"

"Of course I'm afraid of that!"

Camilla fell to the couch holding her now longer hair in her hands and tugging it.

"I've been wracking my brain for weeks about this. Should I tell them or should I not tell them? Every single time I think of how they could possibly react to learning about this it makes me not want to."

"So don't tell them. Problem solved." Mirko shrugged.

"It's not that easy and you know it." Camilla shot back annoyed. "Even if I wanted to there's no way I'll be able to keep this secret forever. Sooner or later the people in my life are going to find out about me. And Izuku and Ochako were both in my vision. Remember I told you about that?"

Mirko remembered alright same as Ryukyu when Camilla told them about that vision of hers. With the twenty people in front of her and the disembodied voice of her master telling her to trust them. To this very day she still had a hard time wrapping her head around what Camilla's crazy power can do.

"I'm positive that meeting those two was the will of the Force. It's trying to tell me something and…this could beat least a step into finding out what it is."

Ryukyu remained silent while she mulled this idea over in her head trying to find any holes with it. She did want Camilla to be able to fully be herself around her friends and that included being able to open up about her past. Mirko was still adamantly against this whole thing. Camilla was a force to be reckoned with on her own and her thoughts about forming teams and relying on others were painfully obvious. Other people just weighed you down. Relying on yourself is more important than relying on others. If there was ever a church to going solo, she would be one of the head preachers.

The two of them pushed their thoughts aside when they both remembered they weren't the only adult there. Ryukyu was the one to address him.

"You've been awfully quiet during this talk, Tsukauchi. Care to chime in with your thoughts?"

All throughout this talk, Detective Tsukauchi stayed right where he sat on the other couch staring intensely at whoever was the one speaking at the time. He actually had been anticipating this day since he learned that Izuku and Camilla were friends, and that Izuku was All Might's choice to inherit his quirk. So far, the boy hadn't blabbed about that secret to anyone. So it was clear he could be trusted. He had met Ochako a couple of times when she came by the building to meet Camilla and she seemed like an honest girl. Still though, he wasn't sure how well she would be able to take learning not one but potentially two secrets that shatter everything humankind knows about…well….everything. Right now though, they only had to worry about the one. And while One For All was a huge secret, Camilla's true heritage and the knowledge of the Force, it was a tough call to say which one would be more mind blowing. One step at a time he figured.

"Camilla's right. Eventually, Midoriya and Uraraka will find out about her. At least if we do it this way, then it will be on our terms in our way."

He looked over to Camilla and flashed a smile even though he knew she couldn't really see it.

"If they really are your friends then I'm sure they'll understand. But it's still your call to make."

Ryukyu nodded in agreement.

"We can only give you our thoughts and advice on the matter. But even after all that, the secret itself is still yours. If you truly do trust Midoriya and Uraraka enough to tell them the truth, then we will back your decision and be there when they learn."

"Yeah. Personally I think you're doing just fine on your own and you should keep them in the dark. But if you want to bring them into the circle, I can't really stop you."

With Mirko's final word out, the young Force sensitive glanced between all three of them while fiddling with her Padawan braid which had also grown longer. She only needed moments to reaffirm her decision. If she could trust Ochako and Izuku with her life, she could trust them with this.

"My mind is made up. If the three of us are going to head for U.A. together, then I want to do that with my two best friends knowing the real me."

So this was definitely going to happen. The three adults looked around at each other accepting Camilla's decision, one of them reluctantly but accepting nonetheless. Tsukauchi stood up and walked over to the ruby haired girl. He then fished his phone out of his pocket and unlocked it.

"What are you doing?" She wondered.

"I don't know Midoriya's number and since you don't have a phone, I think I know who to call to get to him."

Back at the beach an explanation from Izuku on a similar matter had just wrapped up. All Might was left standing there looking at his protégé with a look of surprise, concern, and thought all rolled into one.

"I see." He started. "So you want to tell young Uraraka and young Sharro about One For All. That's why you asked me about trust."

Izuku nodded confirming it.

"Yeah. I just…I don't make friends easy, All Might. Camilla was just a random encounter and through her I met Uraraka. I've really grown to like being around both of them. I care about them and I trust them with my life. I want to trust them with this too. I think after all we've been through and all we will go through at U.A., they deserve to know everything about me."

The number one pro grew a bit fearful of Izuku's connection with these two girls. It could go a number of ways if this secret got to the two of them. But the ones he feared most were this. One of the girls could blab about the secret for their own personal gain. Izuku would end up a target for both the press and villains. Granted that was the life of a hero but Izuku wasn't even a hero student yet. There was no way he could handle that at this time. The other big one was Camilla and Ochako would keep the secret to themselves but in turn, they become targets by the one Izuku will one day have to face. They could die and the boy would be so overcome with grief that it would kill him too.

"Be really careful about this, kid." All Might had to warn him. "One For All is an amazing quirk with a lot of upsides, but there are downsides too. I get how important it is for you to have friends you can trust. I just hope if you want to do this, you recognize you're inviting them into those bad sides too."

Izuku flinched just a bit as he took that in. He never thought about that aspect before. All Might was the number one hero. If he was inheriting his quirk, he was also potentially inheriting a giant target to put on his back for villains everywhere. Being friends with Ochako and Camilla might make that target copy over to them. It frightened Izuku to think of them being watched like that.

But…they were training to be heroes. Heroes have to deal with that kind of thing on a daily basis. He didn't ever want to think of Uraraka or Camilla as not strong enough to handle themselves. U.A. would make them ready to do just that.

"We'll all get strong." Izuku declared. "We'll all get strong together and we'll take on those bad sides. I promise you, All Might! And we'll win too!"

All Might took a step back in surprise as he looked at Izuku's determined face. Seeing that spark again in him caused him to smile. And then he started to chuckle.

"Heh….hehe….heh….AAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!"

Then he burst into his famous buff look.

"That's the spirit that made me choose you, my boy!" All Might proudly announced. "Come then! You have a beach to-"

*A PHONE CALL IS HERE! A PHONE CALL IS HERE! A PHONE CALL IS HERE!*

All Might froze right on the spot as the sound of his ringtone blasted out of his pocket and right into the frozen stupefied look at his successor.

"Was…was that seriously your ringtone?"

Suddenly All Might felt a lot more embarrassed than he had for quite a while.

"Please keep at least that to yourself when you go to your friends and explain One For All."

Quickly he pulled his phone out and looked at the caller I.D. It was Tsukauchi. What was he calling him for this early in the morning? Curious to know and ready to help if needed, he answered the phone.

"Tsukauchi to what do I owe-oh….What are you doing with his phone?...Yes he's right here. Hold on a sec."

With confusion evident in his voice, All Might held his phone out for his protégé to take.

"Speak of the devil. It's young Sharro. She wants to speak with you."

Almost immediately Izuku's face went red hot. First the number one hero took him under his wing, and now a girl called wanting to speak with him? Was he living in some new fantasy world he travelled to by mistake? With a shaky hand, Izuku took All Might's phone into his grip and brought it to his ear.

"H-hello?"

"Hi Izuku. It's Camilla."

Yup. That was indeed her voice.

"Yeah. All Might told me. So what's going on? Is everything alright?"

"Everything's fine I promise. It's just…you've been a really good friend to me these past few months. It's really made me trust you. And because of that I think you deserve to know a few things about me."

His nervous feeling was replaced with a new one of piqued interest. Not to mention a bit of fast déjà-vu. This was nearly exactly what he spouted to All Might just a few moments ago.

"Oh really? Well what are they?"

"I can't tell you now. Not over the phone. This has to be face to face. Do you think you can come by Ryukyu's building later today?

Izuku pulled the phone away to look at the time. It was now quarter to seven in the morning.

"Sure. Would a few hours be ok?" He asked.

"That'll be fine."

Izuku nodded to himself as he made a mental note of it.

"Hey uh….it's kinda funny you're asking this of me. Because as it turns out…"

Back at the agency, Mirko, Tsukauchi, and Ryukyu were all watching Camilla talk to her friend through the detective's phone.

"One second."

She placed the phone to her chest and looked back to the three adults.

"He said he wants to bring All Might with him. Apparently they have something to tell me too."

Both the pro heroes looked at each other even more confused while Tsukauchi's eyes widened a bit. Was All Might really gonna divulge his biggest secret this girl for the sake of his protégé?

"Wait a sec. All Might is gonna learn about this too now?" Mirko sounded more irked now. "I know he's the big number one and all that but should we really concern him with this?"

"Let him come."

Ryukyu was starting to say something in agreement with Mirko but Tsukauchi stopped her when he looked to Camilla with a look on his face that just screamed "Trust me."

"Detective, are you sure?" Camilla asked him.

"All Might can keep a secret. Believe me on this."

The way he said that made it quite obvious that there was something Tsukauchi knew about All Might that no one else in the room did. Still Camilla shrugged and went back to talking through the phone.

"Yeah. Bring him." She said still curious.

"Do you think this is something we should involve Uraraka with?" Izuku asked.

"Absolutely." Camilla didn't even waste a moment to answer. "I wouldn't feel right telling just you this and leaving her out."

"I feel the same way." Izuku agreed instantly.

"Then I guess there's our answer."

"I'll call her after this."

"Great. See you later today."

I'll call you when we start coming."

With that the phone call ended and Izuku handed All Might back his phone.

"No turning back now, kid." The super buff hero said. "I'll be right there with you."

Despite his mentor's effort to be comforting, Izuku didn't feel any less nervous about potentially having to mop up the brains of his friends off Ryukyu's floor when he blew their minds with this secret. He was right though. There was no turning back. First he had to get through his morning workout and then get over to the Dragon's Lair building.

First though, he sent Ochako a text message in case she was still asleep.

"Call me when you get this. Meeting at Ryukyu's later to get everything out on the table. Camilla and I will explain later."

He hit send and pocketed his phone before selecting an area of the beach and running out into the mountain of trash to get started.

At the agency building, Camilla returned Tsukauchi's phone to him and then turned her head to look at Ryukyu.

"Do you think we should let Nejire know about this?" She wondered.

Ryukyu shook her head.

"No. Let her be with her family. We can just tell the others she already knows about you."

"As for whatever it is All Might and the green bean wanna tell you, well…we'll have to see about that." Mirko spoke the truth.

They wouldn't have to wait long though. A few hours would pass before they knew it. Mirko hopped out the window hoping to find some villains to kick while Ryukyu went downstairs to help out her sidekicks. Tsukauchi also left. Camilla didn't have a phone so All Might would probably call him back and let him know he and Midoriya were on their way. When he got that call he would relay it to Ryukyu and Mirko.

Downstairs in her room, Camilla was dressing herself back up into her Jedi robes. If she was gonna confess her heritage as a Jedi to her friends, she was going to do it in the robes of the Jedi too. When she was done, she spent the next few hours in meditation hoping to find some more sense out of that vision she had. No luck in that area. She was too nervous about her upcoming confession to think straight. These were the first people who would fully know about her since she got here. The Force was kind in leading her to a group of people who were understanding and kind to her. But would it continue to be kind when her two new friends and the number one hero also learned there is life beyond the stars?

In a matter of hours, her answer would come.

In another neighborhood across town, Ochako was alone in her apartment finally stirring from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she flung one of her quirk protection gloves, also known as an oven mitt, off her hand and fished around for her phone. When she found it, she flipped it open and began to browse through her missed notifications. A couple spam emails and a text from Deku. A text from Deku? Now a bit more awake, Ochako sat up a bit in bed and opened the next to read it aloud.

"Call me when you get this. Meeting at Ryukyu's later to get everything out on the table. Camilla and I will explain later."

She scanned the message's words over and over again. No matter how many times she read it, Ochako was still left with the same feeling of confusion. She had only just woken up too. What was it that her friends wanted to get "on the table"? That confusion grew to concern a bit as she hoped it wasn't anything bad they had to tell her. It didn't go away as she touched her feet to the ground and got herself ready for the day.

About three hours later at the beach, All Might declared Izuku had done enough cleaning there for the day. When Izuku was ready to go, they began to head to Ryukyu's agency. All Might called Tsukauchi to let him know he was headed there and Izuku called Ochako to do the same. The latter conversation ended with Izuku making Ochako promise to not be freaked out by who he showed up there with. The gravity girl again was confused but nonetheless gave her friend her word. When she hung up, she put on a pair of sneakers and headed to the Dragon's Lair.

Moving through a crowd who wanted a photo, an autograph, or an answer to a question from All Might was a workout all by itself. The number one had gotten used to it over the years but Izuku had not. It seemed like every step he took there was someone new in their path fawning over the sight of the symbol of peace. As much as he adored his fans, All Might didn't want to run late for this meeting. So he scooped up Izuku behind him and jumped to the nearest rooftop and decided to take a shortcut to Ryukyu's. One that involved going over buildings. Not expecting a flight today, Izuku screamed the whole way while his idol just laughed. One For All was a strength enhancing quirk. At one point Izuku would probably learn how to do this whole jumping thing himself.

On the final descent, Izuku and All Might both spied the familiar building owned by the dragoon hero. The moment the muscular hero landed, he went through the door and closed it behind him before setting Izuku back down on his feet.

"Deku?"

The sound of his friend's voice made Izuku turn around. Standing there in the lobby with a look of utter shock on her face was Ochako. A pair of tan shorts, a yellow collared t-shirt, and some pink sneakers were what she was wearing as she stared at the man who just brought Izuku inside.

"Is…is that All Might?"

Rubbing the back of his head, Izuku let out a couple chuckles before answering.

"Yeah. Yeah it is."

At this point, Ochako had seen into Izuku's bedroom once or twice and knew very well about his obsession with the number one hero. The fact that he was here with him now, and that he seemed to be very calm about it, suggested the two had some sort of connection she wasn't seeing. Was this what he wanted to talk about?

"How are you not freaking out?" She asked about to do just that.

"Everything will be explained in time, young Uraraka." All Might answered her that time.

A squeak came out of her when she heard the greatest hero of them all address her by name. Both All Might and Izuku laughed a bit at it.

"I've heard about you through young Midoriya. He's told me quite a lot about-URK!"

The flushing of her face when All Might said Izuku had told him about her was halted when Ochako saw the muscle bound man double over and literally start to steam from his body.

"Wha-what's going on?"

"Elevator! Elevator!"

Izuku hurried both his mentor and friend over to the elevator before All Might's cover was blown in front of Ryukyu's sidekicks still gawking at All Might being near them. Thankfully the elevator was big enough to hold all three of them at once. Once they were inside, the number one hero stopped "sucking it in".

*POOF*

Ochako went from concerned to horrified in less than a second as now in All Might's place stood a man even skinnier than Izuku was with the most hollow eyes she had ever seen and bleeding from the mouth. Both of her own hands slapped over her own mouth so quickly she had begun to float around in the elevator turning her quirk on herself. Gently, Izuku tried to calm her down.

"Uraraka, it's OK. I promise."

"How is it OK?! What happened to All Might?! Who is this guy?!"

Wiping the blood off his lips, the weakened form of the number one hero looked up to the floating girl and pulled her back down to the floor by her leg.

"I assure you kid, I am All Might. Trust me, young Midoriya had the same reaction to this. I was hoping to hold my hero form for a few minutes longer but I guess that ship has sailed."

Hero form? This was All Might? There was no way! As she turned her Zero Gravity off and touched her feet back to the floor she looked to Izuku hoping for clarification.

"I promise I'll explain." He said. "But to you and Camilla together."

That much she could warrant. They came here to talk with Camilla too. Though she doubted now whatever the blind girl had to reveal couldn't be bigger than anything involving All Might of all people. She wouldn't have to wait long though. When the elevator dinged and opened up, they were on the floor of Ryukyu's office. All three of them walked out and there waiting for them wasn't just Camilla dressed in the robes only Izuku and All Might recognized, but Ryukyu herself was there along with Mirko, detective Tsukauchi, and an odd looking yellow and silver robot with a dome shaped head standing next to the blind girl.

All Might suddenly grew nervous. He was OK with signing off on Camilla learning about this. She was Izuku's friend. That made sense. He now grew very unsure about letting Ryukyu and Mirko in on this too. One of them was a well known top ten hero and the other was a rising star in the charts. That didn't exactly speak much about their ability to keep a secret though. As he walked into the office and into view of the others there that hadn't yet seen this form, he was met with stares of absolute confusion with varying degrees.

"Um…hey green bean. I thought you were gonna bring All Might with you and here you brought…a walking bag of bones."

"Rumi, don't be so rude!" Ryukyu chided her old friend before looking back to the scrawny man. "I'm sorry about that, sir."

"No no. It's alright, Ryukyu." All Might responded. "I understand Mirko's reaction."

Despite the looks he was getting, All Might remained as calm as ever. When he saw Tsukauchi over on the couch begin to stand up and approach him, only then did he flash a smile. When the detective was in range the two of them shook hands.

"It's been a while, All Might."

"I truly do apologize for that, detective. Work these days always keeps me busy."

Ryukyu, Ochako, and Mirko all watched this interaction not getting a bit of it. Tsukauchi just referred to this guy as All Might but…this guy wasn't All Might. He just couldn't be.

"I know there are things we have to discuss in a bit so first let me just get this out of the way." All Might then looked to his successor and gestured to Tsukauchi. "Young Midoriya, meet Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi. He's an old friend of mine."

Then he turned back to Tsukauchi and mirrored the same gesture to Izuku.

"Detective this is Izuku Midoriya, my successor."

With that confirmation, Tsukauchi looked at Izuku with a bright smile and held out a hand for him to shake.

"It's certainly nice to meet you, Midoriya." He warmly greeted.

Sensing a friendly nature, Izuku grasped his hand and shook it.

"Uuuhhh….likewise."

"Deku?" Ochako grabbed his attention. "I'm gonna be honest with you. I have no idea what's happening right now."

"Yeah I second that feeling." The rabbit hero was on her feet now. "You seem to know a lot about this detective. What the hell is going on?! This guy can't be All Might!"

"Yes it is."

Camilla had been staring at the shrunken form of All Might ever since he came out of the elevator. At first she wasn't sure who it was but then she saw the Force connection this guy was giving off and the many lights shining off his body. There was no doubt about it. Even in a different shape, this guy was who he claimed to be.

"That's All Might." Camilla confirmed. "But…I don't understand. What happened to you?"

All Might and Izuku both sighed knowing this was going to be a long story. First though, he had to be sure.

"Tsukauchi." He turned to his friend. "Are they…"

"We can trust them, All Might." Tsukauchi was quick to vouch for Mirko and Ryukyu. "Believe me you'll understand why when we're done here today."

That was all he needed to hear. If his friend could sign off on these two learning this, then All Might could too.

"You all may want to sit down for this." The pro hero advised.
