So thank you once again!

Now onto the replies for the reviews:

LitchKing: Here is more Dad Might! He will be popping up more as the story goes on.

Melancholy's Sunrise: Yeah. But once he does learn that, he will have one up on his classmates. And he will learn the quickest way into Aizawa's heart.

As for All Might, I think he will freak out know that U.A.'s principal is like 12 steps ahead of him with getting Izuku into the school. As for know that Aizawa's eye is on the boy, All Might has his suspicions.

HankFlamion18: Sorry for the quick end. But there will be more Dad Might drama, more Dadzawa drama, and all that other stuff in later chapters, I promise.

Now onto the chapter! PLUS ULTRAAAAAA!

Early the next morning, Izuku reported to U.A. as instructed. He wasn't able to hold his head high as he entered the hallowed halls of the hero school. Izuku knew that Aizawa was still angry, as indicated by the cold glare the boy received as he entered the classroom that most of the training and education.

"M-mr. Aizawa, sir." Midoriya said, hoping to talk with his teacher, but to no avail.

Aizawa gave a heavy sigh as he knew that the lessons wouldn't go very far if there was no conversation.

"Midoriya, you are nothing but a problem child." The man said solemnly.

Izuku seemed to shrink within himself. Aizawa sighed as he thought back to the very time he had tried to teach the boy.

Ten years ago, Midoriya took his first steps into the halls of U.A. Aizawa chuckled to himself as he watched the 5 year old boy buzz about the building like a hyper hummingbird.

"Mr. Eraserhead, are we really at U.A.?" The boy asked, his excitement was overflowing.

Aizawa smiled gently. He quietly led the child throughout the building. Turning a corner, he brought the child to the lounge. Here he would introduce the boy to the other staff that would also be teaching him.

The last time Izuku was at U.A., Mr. Eraserhead had the boy help test his class as heroes. They had caused the boy to go running into the lounge in tears. Aizawa never got an answer on what had happened that day. He had managed to cheer the child up once again with the idea of being taught by heroes to help him catch up on the missing lessons he had. The very idea was still exciting to the boy.

"You'll be alright in here, young Midoriya." Aizawa said, standing in the doorway. "I will be right back with the other teachers and we will begin your lessons."

"Okay!" Izuku replied, with his All Might smile.

It didn't take long for Midoriya to become too excited to stay still. He wanted to explore the school again on his own. Maybe Mr. Eraserhead would let him if he asked nicely. He looked to the doorway, expecting the man to be there...but he wasn't.

Fear began to fill Izuku. What if he was left here forever?

It would be better that way...

Would he see his momma again?

After all the hero lied to you...

What about his friends?

NoWhErE iS sAfE FoR yOu, QuIrKleSs!

The room turned dark as a ghastly figure showed on the wall. Izuku's breath was caught in his throat. No, it couldn't be...

It couldn't be wHaT, QuIrKlEsS?!

Mr. Eraserhead told him that he would be safe in here.

I told you, HE LIED!

Asa wouldn't be able to...

Be able to what? nO MatTeR wHeRe YoU gO, qUiRkLeSs, I will never be far behind.

Hands reached out to grab him, choking the poor boy as the feeling of knives cutting his back was ever present.

Tears began to fill his eyes as a silent scream escapes his throat ( !). The shadow of that which haunts Izuku's nightmares, both waking and sleeping, is ruthless in its attacks.

(midoriya, wake up! hizashi, help me!)

Once I finish with you, Auntie is next...

(little listener wake up!)

As the figure began to taunt again, Izuku could feel another pair of hands hold on to him. The familiarity of the hands (roughbumpywarmPROTECTED)brought the boy away from the nightmare.

Opening his eyes, Izuku saw Eraserhead and Present Mic in the lounge with him. He tried to speak with them, but found his voice was silent.

"Izuku, you were dreaming again," Aizawa said. "When did you fall asleep?"

(wait...something's not right...)

"That must of been one dream," Present Mic added. "Took us forever to wake you up..."

(no, it was not my fault...i didn't do it...pleasebelieveme)

Midoriya recoiled from the pro hero's grasp (mommahelp! tighthurts...momma) and backed himself into the corner. First the hero had lied to him and then tried to blame him for what happened. Staring like a deer caught in headlights, Izuku found his little mind breaking. Tears born of fear streamed down his face. He wanted his momma.

"It is alright, my boy." A chipper voice said. "There is no reason to cry."

Through his tears, Izuku saw a small figure approach him. Smilling, the figure reached out a paw and began to stroke the boy's fluffy green hair.

"Now, now, like I said, it is alright now." The being said. "That's right. It's me, Nezu, the one who could be a dog or a mouse or a bear, but more importantly... I'm the principal!"

Izuku just stared at the principal, wide eyed. Did he pop out of nowhere?!

"I am sorry that we haven't had a chance to talk before, but," Nezu said. "I would like to know what the dream of a young one like yourself is?"

Aizawa saw that the principal was somehow getting young Midoriya to relax. The boy's eyes brightened.

"I-i want to be a h-hero," Midoriya answered, finding his voice, "just like All Might!"

Aizawa could of sworn he heard Hizashi and a few others laugh a little (whether it was at Izuku's dream or the fact that Nezu got the boy to open up, Shouta didn't know, but he hoped it was the latter). Nezu smiled.

"That is a good dream." The principal replied. "I hope you make it come true..."

All it took back then to regain the boy's trust was to ask him about his dream. But now, Shouta had no idea.

A couple of minutes passed before Izuku finally spoke.

"M-mr. Aizawa, I am sorry." The green haired boy apologized. "I should of informed you that I wasn't going to show up."

Aizawa sighed. He knew the boy meant well.

"Midoriya, do you know what it was like to hear of a villain committing a crime and to then get a call from your mother wanting to know where you are?" Aizawa asked.

"I-it, it sounds like the type of call no hero, parent, or teacher would want to receive." Izuku replied, casting his emerald gaze to the floor.

"Exactly." Aizawa responded, keeping his voice level. "Next time, call either your mother or one of us if you are late coming home from school."

Izuku nodded slowly, taking the hero's words to heart.

Taking note of this, Aizawa nodded.

"You may head home for the rest of the day." The pro hero said. "I will be by later to drop off your assignments for the day."

"Thank you, sir!" Izuku replied, cheering right up.

Katsuki Bakugo was furious. How dare that little shitty nerd Deku not show up to school today. Did he actually take the blonde's advice and jump off the roof?

He knew could call Aunt Inko about it, but that would lead to an awkward conversation about how Katsuki hasn't been by their house in years. How could he face the woman who had been so kind and understanding to him?

Absentmindly kicking a can down an alley way, Bakugo was unaware of the slime that was making its way towards him.

"At last! Another body!" An unseen voice said from behind the blonde. "This one will definitely get that hero off my trail."

As soon as the slimy tentacle wrapped around his leg, Bakugo attacked.

Izuku was on his way home, when a commotion caught his eye. Several heroes were keeping civilians away from harm. The hero, Backdraft, was hard at work trying to put out fires whose source was all too familiar to Izuku.

Letting his bag fall from his shoulder, Izuku rushed headfirst into danger, all the while ignoring the cries of the heroes wanting him to get to safety. Midoriya had no time to think as he saw Bakugo being assimilated by the same sludge monster that tried to do the same to him. Clawing at the villian, Izuku could barely hear Kacchan's voice over the blood pounding in his ears.

"Deku, get out of here!" The blonde cried, as he watched the boy he tormented for years try and save him.

"No, not until you are safe!" Izuku cried back.

The heroes stood back and watched as this civilian child was fighting to save a friend. And yet they did nothing.

"DETROIT..."

Izuku had little time to think about his own safety. He needed to get...

"SMASH!"

Izuku stared as the sludge villain had, once again, exploded.

"Do not worry,"

The boy knew that voice. He couldn't help but get excited.

"FOR I AM HERE!"

All Might had saved the boys with one of his signature moves. Izuku couldn't believe it.

After a quick debrief of the events with the other heroes, photo opportunities with fans, and a hand over of the villian to the police, All Might turned his attention to Midoriya.

"Young Midoriya," The no. 1 hero said, "what you did was undeniably stupid and dangerous."

Izuku mentally prepare himself for the scolding of a lifetime. But it never came.

"And, it was the bravest thing I have ever seen." The hero said with his signature smile on his face. "All those other heroes could not of saved your friend like that."

Izuku could only stare at his favorite hero.

"Young Midoriya, I have done wrong by you." Toshinori Yagi admitted. "You asked me if someone without a Quirk could be a hero, and I blew you off."

"But you didn't..."

"But by not giving you a direct answer and trying to steer your dream elsewhere," The blonde hero said, "I was doing the same thing as ruining your dream. And for that I am sorry."

"I accept your apology, All Might," Izuku responded. "But I don't fully understand why now is different."

"A great woman once said, 'You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'" All Might added. "I say that you have earned the right to be called a hero."

Izuku was shocked. Him? A hero?

There was only one problem with that.

"I don't have a..."

"And because of that, I am passing my Quirk," All Might added, "to you."

End of Chapter 9

A/N (P.S. edition): To be honest, writing Mr. Eraserhead will never not be funny to me. Especially writing it a 1 something in the morning.

Also the quote that All Might was said by Eleanor Roosevelt. I thought it fit with the scene. (it was that or one by Thomas Paine...)

As a fair warning there will probably be other chapters that use the whole time skip backwards as a plot point, but I will warn you about it.

And with that, have a good night/morning/day!
