Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I don't own My Hero Academia. Only my brat of an OC

Warning: Blood, shy!Izuku, Angry Dadzawa, Nezu popping out of nowhere, mental abuse, self doubt, and Dad Might (finally! geez).

A/N: Finally Chapter 8 is here! This time we will get the promised arrival of Dad Might! Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. I have been playing around with some ideas, especially on how the whole conversation about whether a quirkless person can become a hero or not. Then I became inspired by the blip in the last chapter I had talk about first aid knowledge. And well, this chapter was born. I also had dealt with more days off due to weather and a bit of cabin fever. Well, at least I had the rest of season 2 of My Hero Academia to watch.

Now to reply to reviews:

HankFlamion18: I am so glad you think so! I try to please with my stories, so it makes me happy to hear how people are enjoying my work! As for the time of the attack...eh, I forgot to mention, so that is a bad on my part. I guess you could say that it takes place in late afternoon/early evening and the start of this chapter starts early evening. Sorry for the confusion. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Maximum Ride 12345: No worries! I am glad that you love this story! It makes me so happy that you enjoy this piece of mine. I wish you luck in writing your story! I will be sure to check it out! Thank you for the support!

TheGallopingCupcake: All Might is Here! Watch as he evolves into Dad Might!

Plus I figured that with all the time that Izuku spends at U.A., of course he would pick up some First Aid knowledge. It will certainly come in handy in the future!

I wanted All Might to stay true to the idea of what a hero is. Especially to those younger than him. He is a shining beacon for all to see. So to have him save and care for Izuku is true to what he thinks a hero is. Although Midoriya is my favorite character (along with the majority of Class 1-A), All Might is my favorite pro hero!

Hope that answers a few things and I hope you enjoy this chapter as well! PLUS ULLTTRRAAA!

Chapter 8

Toshinori knew the risk. He knew that if he didn't hurry, his secret would be exposed to the young boy that was walking next to him. He pushed that thought aside, watching the youngster walking next to him carefully. All Might inwardly cringed as he saw the boy stumble a bit. Unsure how to react, Toshinori could only watch as Izuku corrected his posture.

"Sorry..." Midoriya said, not wanting his all time favorite hero to see him like this.

"There is no need to apologize," Toshinori replied, hiding the strain in his voice, "young...?"

"Midoriya," Izuku replied, "Izuku Midoriya."

"Young Midoriya." The number 1 hero said, hope that his smile reflected genuinely. "You have certainly been through alot, more than any hero would expect a youngster like you to witness."

All Might swore he could hear the boy mumble "More than you know...", but when he held the boy's emerald gaze in his sapphire one, nothing more was said.

As the silence grew between them, All Might's timer ran out. He disappeared in a cloud of smoke, causing the young boy to cough.

"A-a-all Might...?" Izuku wondered aloud, waiting for the smoke to clear. He hoped that nothing bad had happened to his hero.

"I am still right here..." came the hero's voice, only it didn't sound quite as energetic as before. "Just...try not to be disappointed..."

When the smoke finally cleared, there was a gaunt figure of a man in place of the muscular figure that was walking next to him. Izuku tried to rack his brain as to try and figure out what had happened, but no answer could come to mind. Amidst his pondering, Midoriya's attention was finally grabbed by the sound of the older man's coughing and the sigh of the blood that came from his mouth.

Could he be suffering from a pulmonary embolism? Or mitral valve stenosis? Or...maybe...Izuku's wandering mind came back in to focus as he tried to remember what he was taught by Recovery Girl.

"A-are you alright, sir?" The boy asked carefully, half afraid of what the answer would be.

All Might chuckled, wiping the blood from his mouth.

"I am fit as a fiddle, Young Midoriya," the hero replied, trying not to cause the young boy any worry. "I..."

One look from Midoriya stopped the hero's lie in its tracks. Toshinori carefully glanced around, before carefully lifting his shirt to show a wound that seemed to scarring horribly and refusing to heal at the same time.

"I knew that it could of been chest trauma!" Midoriya exclaimed, receiving a confused look from the pro hero. He tried to explain himself. "A-ah, I s-sorry. One of my tutors tried to make sure that I had some knowledge with first aid and..."

Toshinori smiled, he knew that the boy meant no harm.

"It is alright, Young Midoriya," the hero replied. "I know that you meant no real harm. I am glad that you were well taught in such matters. Have you considered becoming a doctor?"

"N-no, I, uh, want to be come a hero..." Izuku answered, his eyes sparkling.

Little Quirkless, so useless, so helpless...

"A hero, you say?" Toshinori said, deeply considering the boy's wishes.

"Y-yeah," Izuku said, the sparkle dying in his eye. "But everyone tells me that I can't, because.."

"Because?" Toshinori fished for the answer.

"I-i'm Q-quirkless," The boy said with tears in his eyes. "Do you think that I could be a hero?"

All Might was shocked. His mind was conflicted. If he said yes and the boy found out the truth, he could lose his trust in his hero. But if All Might said no, then he would be no better than the ones who tease the young boy.

"I have never heard of a Quirkless hero." All Might answered with what sounded like fatherly concern for the boy in his voice. "Hero work is often extremely dangerous. What if a villian found out about the ones who care for you? No, you should focus on being a police officer or a doctor. You could still save so many lives with thoughs either career choice."

Izuku stared at the ground, dejectedly. He had heard the words he often dreaded hearing from All Might.

"O-oh..." Midoriya said, staring at nothing.

I told you, Quirkless. His cousin's voice sneered in his head.

Toshinori fell silent. He feared he had said the wrong words. Maybe if he consulted with Nezu...

"Thank you for saving me, All Might." Izuku said with a small smile. "This is my house, so I am fine."

All Might felt like there should of been more for him to say, to encourage the boy to chase his dreams. Society and it rules be damned. Why couldn't there be a Quirkless hero?

But all he could do was sadly watch as the boy walked up to his home and walked inside. For the first time in a long time, Toshinori felt like he had failed.

As Izuku walked into his home, he was greeted by two things: a worried mother and an angry teacher. Gulping, Izuku knew he was in trouble.

"A-ah, good evening, Mr. Aizawa." Midoriya said, knowing that he was now in trouble.

Aizawa glared, as Inko fretted over her baby boy.

"Izuku, honey, where were you?" His mother asked, looking him over to see if he had any new injuries. "When Mr. Aizawa said that you never showed up for classes, I began to worry."

Izuku glanced nervously from his mother to his teacher.

"Ah, I-i'm sorry, Mr. Aizawa." Izuku apologized. "Some things came up after school and I..."

"Tomorrow, report to U.A. all the earlier." Aizawa said with a glare.

Izuku froze up. He had never seen Mr. Aizawa this angry.

"He was only worried about you, Midoriya," came a voice from beside Aizawa.

Izuku was shocked to see Nezu pop out, seemingly out of no where (was he hiding in Mr. Aizawa's scarf this entire time?!).

"We had heard about your interest in joining UA," the principle said. "Is that still your intent?"

Midoriya was taken back by the question. It felt like the first time anyone was seriously interested in his wishes. But he couldn't get rid of a feeling unease
that crept into his stomach.

"Um, y-yes sir." Izuku answered, hoping that he hadn't made a mistake. He couldn't look the small (seriously, what was he? a cat? dog? bear?!) principal in the eye.

Nezu took the young teen's answer into consideration. He also took notice of the boy's actions in speaking with him. Sighing, the principal smiled gently.

"We will most definetly discuss this more when the time comes." Nezu replied. "For now, continue to do your best."

Izuku thanked the principal, all while keeping his gaze off of Aizawa.

It didn't go unnoticed by the tired looking man. But he was in no mood to argue any more. He would handle the boy's punishment in the morning.

Standing up and readying to leave, Shouta bid his goodbye to both mother and son, with Nezu following right behind. Before fully exciting the door, Aizawa turned once again and addressed Midoriya.

"Remember, all the earlier tomorrow morning." He said in a low dangerous voice as he left.

All Might watched the boy enter his home, turning only after he saw the boy get inside safely. As he walked away, he somehow felt he had forgotten something.

He didn't get far until he remembered...

Where was the bottle that he captured the slime villian in?!

End of Chapter 8

A/N (P.S. Edition): Well that is chapter 8! I am some what surprised that Google has begun to ask me if I am ok will all the symptoms I have been looking up to give Deku his knowledge of First Aid.

Also, I love the plot device I have Nezu being. I love the principal and wish that he was in the series more.

Also, Angry Dadzawa is angry with reason. But, it won't be long before he forgives his "son" for the scare he gave all them...Uncle Present Mic is waiting with a puppy for the boy and Auntie Midnight has a fluffy kitten. They want their precious Midoriya to be ok.

Also Forgetful Dad Might sets in motion plot devices!

See you next chapter!

...Asa is a butt...
