Now to reply to reviews:

KylarPierce: I am so glad that you have been enjoying it so far. I hope I do not disappoint you.

HankFlamion18: I am glad that you think so! I try so hard to make each chapter as epic as the last and still keep a good continuity flow going. I am super excited that you are still enjoying it.

AzraelVoorhees: I am glad. I was inspired to write this story from a thought about what would happen if there was a villain Midoriya couldn't face without help from others. I couldn't find anything that could fit this and decided to write one myself.

The GallopingCupcake: Yes, All Might is almost here! I know from my studies (I used to be a social work major in college) that abuse can stay with a person for a long time and effect how they behave. While ultimately trying to not make Izuku OOC too much, I wanted him to use the experience and guidance from others (especially Dadzawa) to help mold him into a better person and hero.

And yes, Bakugo isn't helping. But he will get better...hopefully.

It is still a couple chapters away from Izuku joining Class 1-A. But he will find some support with in the group.

I am still glad you are enjoying the story!

Now onto the story! PLUS ULTRA!

As soon as the school bell chimed, signaling the end of the day, Izuku gathered his things and headed to the door with his head down. He hoped to avoid running into Kacchan.

"HEY DEKU!" came the all too familiar growl.

Izuku silently cursed his luck.

Maybe if I keep walking, Kacchan will forget about me, Izuku thought.

"DON'T YOU WALK AWAY YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Bakugo screamed once more.

Midoriya was stuck, as he raised his head, Bakugo saw him and a malicious grin crossed his face. The green haired boy gulped, reading himself for the blow.

And when it came, Izuku could hear the laughter of the ones who called themselves Kacchan's friends. His uniform was beginning to stain crimson as blood flowed from his nose. He tried to stop the flow with his hand, as Bakugo began laughing.

"Look at the Quirkless baby," The vicious blonde sneered.

How original, Izuku thought to himself.

"Whatcha gonna do, baby," came the sneering voice of crony number 1. "Cry?"

All the boys laughed, as if Izuku was one giant joke.

And Kacchan calls himself a hero...was the last thought Izuku had before the explosive punch.

The force of the punch knocked Midoriya into a wall, knocking all the wind from him. The boy tried his best not to succumb to the darkness that was threatening to overtake him, trying to remember what he had learned from his teachers.

Try not to fall asleep right away if you think you have a concussion. Take deep, slow breaths, focusing on your stomach...breath in slowly through your mouth...came Recovery Girl's instructions.

"Now listen here, you stupid extra," Bakugo growled, stalking closer to Izuku. "I am the only one from this back water school that is going to make it big."

He roughly grabbed Izuku's arm, burning it with smaller explosions. Midoriya tried his best not to cry out.

Never let a villain know your weakness...He couldn't remember who told him that. Was it Present Mic? Mr. Aizawa? Did All Might say it in an interview?

"So you need to change your plans on where you will go to high school," the blonde continued. "Cause there is no way that U.A. will let in a Quirkless piece of shit like you in."

Midoriya fought back the tears, as Bakugo reached down to pick something up. It was Midoriya's Hero analysis journal. Bakugo took it and with an explosion, destroying the book.

"No..." Izuku weakly called out.

Laughing, Katsuki threw the burnt journal out a window and turned away to leave, his cronies laughing following behind.

Izuku picked himself up off the ground and went out to find where his journal fell to. Finding it in a koi pond, Midoriya picked his journal up and thought about how to dry it. Nearby, he could hear a clock chime. Realizing what time it was, Izuku knew he had to hurry or else he'd be late for his tutoring.

Aizawa kept checking the clock. It was odd for young Midoriya to be this late. Ignoring the complaints from Present Mic (something about a date? Or was it a radio broadcast?), Aizawa tried to focus on other things than his worry.

Of course nothing ever seems to go right when you are a hero, as a call went out about a bank robbery and the villian involved was nothing more than a sludge quirk user.

Izuku was slowly making his way towards U.A. for his tutoring. He knew Mr. Aizawa would be upset with his tardiness, but the bruises and burns that covered his arms and legs refused to let him go any faster.

Izuku planned on apologizing to the man who became like a father to him. While he was beginning to form the apology in his mind, as sickly sensation overcame Izuku. It felt like a large slug or piece of seaweed was wrapped around his legs. He couldn't move. With his whole body shaking, Midoriya turned his head to see what was behind him.

That was his first mistake.

In the steadily dying light of the setting sun, the young boy could make out a almost murky form behind him. Its tentacles whipped about in the air, as if searching for a place to settle on. Izuku opened his mouth to scream.

That was his second mistake.

One of the tentacles shot forth and proceeded to invade the young boy's mouth. Tears began streaming down his face, as Midoriya struggled.

"Don't worry," came a voice, almost a sickly and slimy as its body. "I am just hijacking your body."

Maybe that will be an improvement, Quirkless, said another voice in his mind. Maybe then you won't be a burden to Auntie any more...

No, you're wrong...

Or maybe...

SHUT UP!

Asa's voice quieted down as the sludge villian spoke again.

"Calm down," he said. "It will only hurt for 45 seconds...then it will all be over..."

Darkness began creeping into Izuku's vision as he struggled to get free.

Can this really be it? Am I going to die here? His thoughts began to run wild. Momma, I am scared. I am sorry I didn't say goodbye to you this morning...

"TEXAS..."

Mr. Aizawa, I am sorry I didn't take your advice on how to save yourself from a villian. And I am also sorry that you had to save me so many times when I was younger. I wish....

"SMASH!"

I wish I could of been a better student for you...

Izuku succumbed to the darkness as his thoughts died down. He could of sworn though that he saw All Might had come to save him from the danger.

Toshinori Yagi hurried as fast as he could, chasing the sludge villian from the scene of the crime. He hoped that no more civilians would find themselves in harm's way.

For only a moment, he lost sight of the villian. Cursing silently to himself, All Might kept looking. The dreaded thought of there not being enough time to save anyone dared to cross the number 1 hero's mind.

No, I cannot think that way, Toshinori thought, correcting his mind's path. I will always be there to save the day. I MUST NOT GIVE UP!

As he passed by a bridge, All Might caught sight of his quarry. The foul sludge had a poor junior high student in his grasp. The sight alone caused Toshinori's very blood to boil in rage.

He knew what he had to do.

"TEXAS..." He cried, readying his attack. "SMASH!"

The sludge villian exploded on impact.

Breathing heavily, All Might calmed himself and began to scoop the bits of sludge up and placed it into a bottle. Once the area was secured, the hero checked on the student he saved. Dreading the worst, he began his checks.

Pulse...check.
Breathing...check.

Toshinori let out a sigh of relief. The boy was just unconscious and seemed to be in no need of immediate medical attention. It was then something caught the hero's eye.

It was a notebook with the title "Hero Analysis for the Future" on it. It seemed to be a bit singed, but the notes that the boy took were incredible and dangerous if they fell into the wrong hands. But the boy looked harmless and was probably nothing but a hero fanboy. Taking a risk, All Might found a pen and autographed the first page.

To the bravest boy I met,

It seems you have a great teacher.
It is always best to stay calm when under pressure.

All Might.

With a smile, Toshinori placed the notebook into the boy's backpack. Turning his attention to the child, All Might began to lightly and quickly tap the boy's cheek to wake him up.

Izuku could feel something tapping his cheek very quickly. Forcing his eyes open slowly, he could not believe what he was seeing.

All Might was standing over him...

ALL MIGHT WAS STANDING OVER HIM! His brain seemed to scream at him.

The superhero stopped his action as soon as he saw Midoriya awake.

"Ah, thought we lost you there." All Might said, with his signature grin crossing his face.

Izuku's mind raced a thousand miles per hour as he tried to come up with a response.

"I, uh, wah?" was all he could say.

But Toshinori knew. He sighed and keeping his smile ever present on his face, he addressed Midoriya again.

"I am glad to see you safe." The pro hero said. "But the streets are dangerous this time at night."

Izuku's mind came to a halt.

"N-n-no, I can make it...ouch..."

It was then, Midoriya became aware of blood running down his back. When did he...?

"Ah, I believe that it was my fault that you got injured." All Might replied, answering the unspoken question in Midoriya's mind.

Izuku couldn't believe what he was hearing. All Might was apologizing to him.

"So please, allow me to help you get somewhere safe, young man." Toshinori said, hoping that the boy would listen to reason. "I cannot, in good faith, let a young man like you get hurt any more."

Izuku knew he couldn't argue with the hero. It never worked with Mr. Aizawa or Present Mic when they insisted to walk him home after the tutoring, especially Mr. Aizawa.

"O-okay." Izuku stammered. "Th-thank you, All Might."

End of Chapter 7

A/N (P.S. edition): Well that is chapter 7. Just so it is clear, the sludge villian's lines are exactly what he says to Midoriya when he is first encountered, along with All Might's line to Midoriya when they first meet.

As for the advice for concussions and what to do if you have the wind knocked out of you, that is actual medical advice. I figured that Midoriya could learn some first aid skills from Recovery Girl.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope to see you in the next one!
