Author's Notes: I am reposting some of my fics because I just deleted all of them in AO3 and some in fanfiction. (All those kudos, comments and subs gone with just a click of a button) Why did I do that? Its because my mental state frayed and I went spiraling out of control. Now, I'm still recovering from the aftermath of my own mental breakdown. I'm writing my own self-indulgent novel to help with recovery and I will be updating some of the stories which I have written so far.
FULL SUMMARY: In a world where the last wielder of One For All was defeated, All For One became the official leader of all the Villain Organizations in Japan, who rules them all with an iron fist.
However, in a moment of weakness, All For One decides to try something different for a change and builds a new family as Midoriya Hisashi. In the end, he becomes a single father who loves to dote on his 'Quirkless' daughter. For years, only a select few knows the truth about his other life until one day both the Pro Heroes and his entire Villain organizations start to suspect something strange.
Meanwhile, seventeen years old Midoriya Izuku is confused to see strangers frequenting the place where she is working just to see or speak to her. More than that, she becomes overwhelmed by a lot of people giving her their numbers and wanting to keep in contact with her for one reason or another while others just love to give her a lot of tips.
-In which both heroes and villains keep a close eye on an oblivious and 'Quirkless' Izuku as she works as a part-time waitress in a Maid Cafe.
Izuku pressed the loud speaker on her phone just as her father said a moment later.
"Are you going to work soon, Izu-chan?"
Her father asked as she set the phone down on her vanity table.
"Yes, Dad." She replied.
She looked at herself in the mirror while she carefully secured her long green hair into a ponytail with a scrunchy. "My shift is about to start an hour from now."
"I see….Just be careful on your way to work, alright sweetums?" Hisashi Midoriya told her.
"You know me Dad. I'm always careful." She replied just as she picked her phone and placed it next to her ear.
Before her father could say anything else, Izuku couldn't help but ask him: "Hey Dad. When are you coming back home from your business trip?"
"I'll be there before Christmas, Izu-chan. I promised." Her father said and Izuku grinned from ear to ear.
She was relieved to hear her father's response.
She thought she was going to spend Christmas alone this year. Yet her father proved her wrong once more. Despite her father's constant trips overseas, Hisashi Midoriya always came back for her birthdays and the special holidays to spend time with her.
Izuku's mother died during childbirth which left Hisashi to take care of her. As a single father, Hishashi raised her well and had been there for most of her early childhood. It was only just five years ago that her father started going on business trips for long periods of time where she was left in the care of Doctor Tsubasa quite frequently.
When she was still just a child, her father always doted on her and he hadn't changed much at all even as the years passed by. Her father always brought her something from the places he had travelled. Most of the things he gave to Izuku were incredibly fascinating trinkets that she had kept in nearly a dozen boxes in her walk-in closet. She suspected that her father probably had something to give her once he came back this week.
"Ok Dad. I will see you then. Take care over there, alright?" She told him.
"I will. And Izu-chan?"
"Yes?"
"I know that working in a Maid Cafe requires you to wear the uniform they provided for you. So I hope that the male patrons you served are treating you with the utmost respect because I will not stand for it if they don't. If any of them cause you any trouble just tell me at once and I will deal with them."
Izuku merely smiled at her father's words, but there was something about his dark tone that raised the small hairs at the back of her neck.
The way her father said it felt like he was about ready to kill anyone who dared lay a hand on her without her permission.
"Geeze Dad. You sounded like a complete villain there for one brief moment. Are you sure you are not running an underground kingdom in all the years you said you've been traveling?" She joked.
However, her father's first response was a sharp intake of breath which she managed to catch with her phone currently pressed close to her ear.
Izuku frowned.
Then, she heard her father's familiar deep chuckle, which sounded forced.
"Don't be absurd Izu-chan. Me a villain?"
He laughed once more.
"If I were one, I would be far too busy ruling my own Evil Kingdom to even build a family, much less raise you as a single father," he remarked dryly.
"Well, you've been rather good at multitasking Dad. In fact, I'm quite sure if you were a villain, you probably become a Master at squeezing 'Grocery Shopping, Changing Izuku's diapers and Potty-Training' in your schedule, beside your diabolical plots of 'Creating Mass Hysteria, Spreading Acts of Terrorism, and Destroying Historical Landmarks' among other evil things that you might have done," she stated in a tone dripping with sarcasm.
Izuku heard him let out another laughter, much louder this time.
It almost sounded like an evil cackle.
"As much as I want to continue with this completely and utterly ridiculous conversation Izu-chan but I think it will make you late for work if I do. Since you are still relatively new to your work, I think it's best that you leave soon before you miss your bus. I will talk to you later."
"Ok, Dad." Izuku replied. "I will see you before Christmas then…"
"That you will. Bye sweetheart," he said and Izuku could almost see her father smiling in that moment.
"Bye Dad," she said.
Afterward, the line went dead as her father ended the call.
Izuku Midoriya was having a weird, but awesome day.
For whatever reason, strangers were being nice to her, and oddly enough, the people she encountered were rather interested in her well being too.
However, this would be the first time that a popular Pro Hero was more than kind to her like the rest of the people she had met.
"Here's my number," the red winged hero said to her as he extended the calling card towards Izuku.
Izuku Midoriya's reaction, however, was to simply gape at the Number 2 Pro Hero; Hawks.
Is he really giving me his number? Izuku couldn't help but wonder because there was no way a Pro Hero was easily giving her the number to his personal phone.
She must have voiced her question out loud because Hawks suddenly replied.
"Yes, I am," the blonde said with a faint smirk on his lips.
Meanwhile, Izuku's face turned red as a fresh tomato and blurted out to him, "You do know that I'm seventeen, right?"
"And?" Hawks raised a brow at her.
"I'm still underage." She pointed out to him, and to her confusion, Hawks just laughed at her statement.
"I am not hitting on you or even asking you on a date if that is what you are thinking about Midoriya-san," Hawks replied with a lot of emphasis on her surname. There was a wry curl on his lips when he said it.
He looked rather amused about her family name.
Izuku's frown deepened.
"I am just concerned for you that's all. Since you told me that your father is often going overseas without warning for months on end, I'm giving you my number in case something bad happened to you and you needed help." Hawks explained. "I can assure you that is my only intention. Nothing more."
Perhaps I shouldn't have told him anything at all….after I chatted with him for hours at my manager's prompting. The Pro Hero seems to have taken an interest in my wellbeing...although I am a bit confused why he seems to be interested in a Quirkless girl like me….Or why he is even curious about my absentee father who constantly leaves to do business overseas. The Pro Hero already knows that I only have Dr. Tsubasa to rely on, who is rather good at getting some stuff done when Dad is not around...I don't understand why a Pro Hero like Hawks is going to great lengths to offer his help and give me his number…Izuku silently wondered.
"Oh...ok..." She mumbled softly as she took the card from his hand. Her face was still red. She was still flustered at the Pro Hero's strange behavior towards her.
As Izuku met Hawk's golden eyes, she noticed something in his gaze that she didn't quite put a finger on.
Does he really have no ulterior motive at all? She asked herself.
"Please don't be a stranger Midoriya-san and call me whenever you need my help alright?" Hawks told her.
For her part, Izuku could only nod her head in dumbfounded wonder. Star-struck once more to be even speaking to the number two hero.
Of course, this won't be the first time that a Pro Hero would be interested to see her.
As it turned out, Izuku would soon meet a lot of people in the future.
