AN: I don't own any of the characters used in this story. I do have some My Hero Academia merchandise though, but that's about it.
AN: In the last chapter I pictured Steve Buscemi as the voice talking to Jason and helping him pick his team. Also, I made every character added to the My Hero Academia happy. Jason had his mother; Johnny had the family that Crash, and Mona had fabricated for him hoping that it would be less painful than the truth that his mother abandoned him. Rouge had a mother who genuinely loved her for who she was and not what she could do. And Anna and Elsa had their Family who loved them and cared for them. Enjoy.
Izuku Midoriya stood protectively in front of a Quirk-less kid that Bakugo and his friends were antagonizing.
"L-leave him alone." Izuku said.
"Look who it is." Bakugo said. "Little Quirk-less Deku."
"And us." A voice said from behind before vaulting over them to stand next to Izuku.
"Todd." Bakugo snarled.
"Present."
"Don't forget about me." A flaming Skeleton on a flaming Tricycle came up beside Jason.
"Or me." Rouge said landing beside Izuku.
"Don't forget about us." Elsa said pulling Anna along in a wagon and stopping beside Rogue.
Bakugo and his friends turned tail and ran.
"Thanks." Midoriya said.
"Don't worry about it." Jason said putting his hand on Midoriya's shoulder. "That's what friends are for."
They started talking to the kid that Bakugo was bullying.
Nine years later.
Midoriya was running through the City. He had heard that there was a fight with a villain, and he wanted to see it, and now he was running late for school.
"Hey Izuku!" A familiar voice yelled. "Need a ride?"
"Johnny?"
"Yeah. Jason said that you might need a ride."
"Thanks."
"No problem. Hop on."
Midoriya got onto the back of Johnny's custom-built motorcycle and they headed for school.
They got to homeroom just as the bell rang and sat down with their friends.
"Glad you made it." Jason said.
"Thanks for sending Johnny. I wouldn't have made it if you hadn't."
"Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for."
"Yeah." Anna said. "Isn't this great. After next year we get to go to the U.A."
"Ha." Bakugo laughed. "You. Go to the U.A.? Don't make me laugh. You are three years younger than everyone else. What makes you think that you could go to U.A.?"
"She's three years younger." Rouge said. "Because she's smarter than you and her Quirk has you beaten."
"No, it doesn't." Bakugo said indignantly.
Anna waved her hand and water slapped Bakugo in the face before landing in the crotch of his pants.
"Dude!" Johnny yelled. "You wet your pants!"
The class turned to Bakugo who turned beet red.
Bakugo got up, his hands popping with explosions. "You'll pay for that you brat!" He yelled lunging at Anna.
Jason was up and, in his face, before he'd even taken one step, and his hand was pressed up against his chest. "Back off!" He growled. "You brought this on yourself. Maybe if you weren't such an ass all the time then maybe you wouldn't get treated like one."
"Boy's!" The teacher yelled to get their attention.
Bakugo backed away to show a handprint in his clothes where Jason's hand had been. "You'll pay for that!" He growled.
"Who's going to make me? Cause I know for sure that it won't be you."
Bakugo ground his teeth together so hard that Jason thought he was going to break them.
"Whoa, whoa." Johnny said. "Chill out. Take a chill pill. If you don't have a chill pill take a chill strip, put it on your tongue, let it dissolve... chill. Or ya know. Just ask Elsa."
Bakugo glared at him.
"Bakugo. Todd." The teacher said. "Sit down."
Jason and Bakugo sat down.
"Now." The teacher said. "I'll pass our plans for the future..." the teacher grabbed the papers and threw them behind him. "No need. You all are going into the hero courses."
The class, apart from Jason, Johnny, Rouge, Elsa, Anna, Midoriya, and Bakugo, burst into shouts of joy and laughter, and began showing off their quirks.
"Hey!" Bakugo said with a Cheshire Cat grin. "Don't lump me in with them."
"Oh yes." The teacher said. "You are going to U.A. High."
Bakugo vaulted onto his desk. "That's right! I'm going to the U.A. And I'm going to surpass All Might."
Jason has to keep himself from laughing.
Rouge and Johnny weren't as successful.
"You!" Johnny yelled. "Surpass All Might? Your too much of a bully."
"He's right sugar." Rouge added. "Unless you learn how to treat people the way you want to be treated then you won't surpass All Might in anything... well except maybe..."
"Enough!" The teacher yelled. "Bakugo. It's good that you want to go to the U.A. But don't let your ambitions consume you."
"Don't forget that we are going to the U.A. Too." Jason said.
"Oh yes." The teacher said. "You, Johnny, Marie, Elsa, Anna, and... Midoriya? Is this true? Are you applying for the U.A.?"
The class apart from his friends and Bakugo laughed at him.
Midoriya began blushing in embarrassment.
Bakugo's eye began twitching in anger and annoyance. "Y-you! You are going to the U.A.! You're Quirk-less!" He yelled slamming his hand into Midoriya's desk knocking him to the floor.
Jason, Johnny, and Rouge attacked Bakugo while Elsa and Anna helped Midoriya to his feet.
Jason grabbed Bakugo and flipped him over his back and onto the floor face first and planted his knee into his back. "This is why you'll never surpass All Might!" He seethed.
Bakugo began making explosions and hit the floor in front of him sending Jason off of him, over the desks, and into the wall.
Johnny became the Rider and grabbed Bakugo before slamming him into the desk before throwing him at Rouge who picked him up and slammed him into the floor.
"ENOUGH!" The teacher yelled. "TODD! BLAZE! MARIE! To the principal's office! NOW!"
Jason pushed himself up off the floor and glared at the teacher.
"Hey hon." Rogue said. "Just calm down. No need to lose your cool."
Jason walked to the door and slammed it open followed by Johnny and Rouge.
Elsa, Anna, and Midoriya watched as their friends left for the Principals office.
On the other side of town, a robbery had been committed.
A woman screamed and activated her Dome Shield Quirk as a Sludge Villain ran past her with money flying off of his back.
The Sludge Villain ran past a convenient store as a skinny underdeveloped man walked out with his purchases.
"Ugh." A man said. "People using their Quirks for bad. There's no end to them."
The underdeveloped man became a large well-built man with a large smile. "There is an end." He said. "Because I... am here."
The crowd gasped as they recognize the number one hero.
The Sludge Villain looked at him and became anxious.
When class was over, and the students were heading home for the day Bakugo and his friends cornered Midoriya and began making fun of him.
Bakugo took Midoriya's notebook and taunted him.
"Hey!" Anna yelled stepping in front of Midoriya and getting in Bakugo's face. "Give. It. Back."
"Shut up!" Bakugo yelled. "You aren't even supposed to be in this class. The only reason that you are is because you were somehow able to trick the teachers into thinking that you were smarter than you were. Your Quirks not even that good. How can you possibly expect to go to the U.A. If you are a weak pathetic brat like you?"
"That's enough Kacchan." Midoriya said.
"Shut up!" Bakugo yelled hitting Midoriya with his Quirk before using it to blow up his notebook and throw it outside.
"HEY!" Elsa yelled storming up to them. "Leave Izuku and Anna alone!"
"Why should I? If you're not strong enough to stop me..."
Bakugo was stopped as a fist connected with his face hard enough to drop him. "Please stop." Midoriya said panting heavily. "I don't want to fight you, but I can't stand by and let you say those things to my friends."
Bakugo rubbed his hand over his cheek and glared at Midoriya. "You'll pay for that."
"Hey Jason." Anna said waving at someone.
Bakugo and his friends turned around to confront Jason, but there was no one there.
When they turned around, they saw that Elsa, Anna, and Midoriya were gone.
"I'll get you tomorrow." Bakugo said clenching his hands into fists.
Outside
"Are you okay Izuku?" Anna asked.
"No. I just want to be alone for a bit." Midoriya said before walking away.
Anna went to follow him, but Elsa stopped her.
Midoriya stopped by one of the ponds and pulled his notebook out. 'Great. I'll have to dry it when I get home.'
Jason was in the principal's office. Johnny and Rouge had gone in before him, and now it was his turn.
"Well Mr. Todd." The tall woman asked. "Why don't you tell me what happened in your own words?"
"We were in class when Mr. Tuckson told us about the future plans but threw them away because we were all going into the hero business. He then said that Bakugo, Midoriya, my friends, and myself would be going to the U.A., and Bakugo lost his crap. He attacked Midoriya, and that's when Johnny, Rouge, and I jumped in to stop Bakugo, and Elsa, and Anna went to help Midoriya."
"I see." The principal said. "So, you attacked Bakugo."
"After he attacked Midoriya."
"Yes, but the important thing is that you attacked Bakugo."
"How is that the important thing?"
"Midoriya will have to get a normal education, and a normal job, whereas Bakugo could benefit in the fight against villains."
Jason was starting to see red. He wanted to make her pay for what she said.
"So, as I see it you and your friends will have detention for the next week."
"What about Bakugo?"
"As far as I'm concerned Bakugo was the one wronged."
"Screw that! He threw the first punch!"
"You can have two weeks detention."
"I could have your job!"
"Three weeks!"
"You can take your detention and shove it up your ass!"
"You're suspended for four weeks!"
"Say goodbye to your job! Last I checked what you're doing is illegal, and you could lose your job, and be blacklisted!"
"Are you threatening me?"
"No. When I threaten you, you will know? I am simply promising you that unless you stop acting like a bitch then I will direct the police to the schools video tapes."
"Blackmail?"
"Now why would I need to stoop to blackmail when you're not doing anything wrong?"
The Principal looked shaken. "How did you know?"
"Know about what?" Jason asked innocently.
"Then you were just bluffing."
"Bluffing about what? About the fact that you are doing things that you shouldn't be doing in your office behind locked doors?"
The principal looked shaken.
"Like the Alcohol that you keep in here? Or what about the drugs in your drawers? Or even how about the fact that you have items that the parents would be appalled to know that you have hidden in here?"
"H-how did you find out?"
"I didn't know anything until you proved it right now."
"You! You little bastard!"
"So, here's what's going to happen..."
The principal's hand shot out to grab Jason by the throat, but he grabbed her hand.
"You don't scare me." He said in a voice that was way to calm. "Do you want to know you don't scare me?"
The principal tried moving her arm away, but Jason tightened his grip, and her skin started burning.
"BECAUSE I DIED ONCE! I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING ANYMORE!"
Outside
Johnny and Rouge were sitting outside waiting when they heard Jason yell. "Because I died once! I'm not afraid of anything anymore!"
The receptionist looked at the two who shrugged, and she went back to her business.
Jason came out five minutes later. He looked angry.
"So, what happened?" Johnny asked.
"We don't have detention anymore."
"How'd ya manage that sugar?"
"Let's just say that she doesn't want the police to find out how she relieves her stress on the job."
"So, you blackmailed her?" Johnny asked.
"The stupid bitch said that Midoriya would never amount to anything."
"I want to go talk to her." Rouge said walking back towards the Principals office.
Jason grabbed her shoulder. "You don't want to go in there yet."
"What did you do?" Johnny asked.
"She tried to grab my throat, and I grabbed her wrist. My Quirk may have activated in a moment of weakness."
"Pease tell me that you didn't burn her hand off."
"No, but she's not going to treat anyone with disrespect ever again."
The trio walked back to homeroom to grab their stuff and stopped by the bike rack so Johnny could get his bike and headed home.
They stopped by Johnny's dads' garage and Johnny went in after saying goodbye.
Jason and Rouge continued walking when Rouge stopped.
"Jason. What did you do to Principal seller?"
"I told you. I grabbed her wrist when she tried to grab my throat and burned off a few layers of skin. That was it. If she goes to the police, I'll tell them to do an investigation into her because of drugs, alcohol, and adult toys."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
They walked in silence until they got to Rouge's house.
"See you tomorrow Jason." Rouge waved goodbye.
Jason waved goodbye and continued walking.
He was walking when he saw a crowd gathered and saw Midoriya.
"Hey Midoriya. What's going on?"
Midoriya jumped out of his skin. "Oh. Jason. It's Bakugo."
"What about him?"
"He's being attacked by a Sludge Villain and the heroes can't get in close."
"Can you make a distraction? I don't like him, but I know what it's like to be helpless."
Midoriya looked at Jason.
"Can you?"
"Yeah." Midoriya said.
He thought about his notebooks and knew just what to do.
He ran through the crowd, and past the heroes before spinning and throwing his backpack at Sludge Villain hitting it in the eye. He grabbed fistfuls of the Sludge Villain and began pulling. Jason had trained him since that day making him stronger, but this was an opponent who was slick and could slip out of anyone's grasp easily.
"Hey ass hole!" A voice called out. "Leave Bakugo alone!"
Jason ran up with the sleeves of his uniform burnt off and his arms covered in red and black. He reached into the Sludge Villain and grabbed Bakugo before pulling as hard as he could.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Sludge Villain yelled. "That's hot!"
Jason ripped Bakugo out of Sludge Villain and threw him towards the heroes.
"I'll make you pay for that!" Sludge Villain yelled.
"You can try!"
Sludge Villain made a grab for Midoriya, but Jason pushed Midoriya out of the way and was caught by Sludge villain.
'Crap. I can feel my Humanity slipping. I can't stay like this for much longer.'
"What are you going to do now?" Sludge Villain asked.
"Let my friend go!" Midoriya yelled throwing punches and kicks knowing it wouldn't do anything but knowing that he needed to help Jason. 'Too bad Elsa isn't here. She could use her ice Quirk to freeze Sludge Villain.'
"Your attempts are futile!" Sludge Villain yelled before swinging at Midoriya.
Midoriya backflipped out of the way of the swing before charging in again. "LET! MY! FRIEND! GO!" He yelled with each punch or kick.
"ENOUGH!" Sludge Villain yelled grabbing Midoriya. "I'll kill you!"
There was a pressure wave, and All Might was standing in front of Midoriya.
"Even though I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" All might punch through Sludge Villain and grabbed Jason with one massive hand. "Pros are always risking their lives!"
"ALL MIGHT!" Sludge Villain yelled before swinging at him.
"DETROIT! SMASH!" All Might yelled punching Sludge Villain while pulling Jason out and catching Midoriya.
There was a pressure wave, and Sludge Villain was gone.
The crowd cheered while Jason and Midoriya were stunned from the fight.
After everything was said and done Jason and Midoriya got chewed out by the heroes for being reckless.
Jason ignored them but felt like he was being watched. He turned around and saw Bakugo glaring at him while heroes surrounded him.
Jason and Midoriya were walking home when they heard someone yelling at them.
"Todd! Deku!"
They turned to see Bakugo.
"Kacchan?" Midoriya asked.
"I never asked for your guy's' help!" He snarled. "And you guys didn't help me! Got it! I was fine by myself! You're a Quirk-less failure playing without a full deck, and a loser who hangs out with other losers. Don't think you can look down on me! Do you think I owe you guys now? I don't! Don't look down on me! You damn nerds!"
They looked at each other before they continued walking.
"He's right you know." Midoriya said. "I didn't really accomplish or change anything. Maybe now I can think about a realistic future."
"What are you talking about?"
"I can't be a hero. So, I need to look into a more realistic future."
"Who the hell told you that you can't be a hero? I'll go and kick their ass right now!"
Before Midoriya could answer All Might showed up.
"I am here!" All Might yelled startling them and causing Jason to lash out punching him.
"What the hell are you made of!" Jason demanded before realizing who he had just punched.
"A-All Might!" The duo yelled in unison.
"What are you doing here?" Midoriya asked. "You we're surrounded by reporters until just now."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" All Might laughed. "Getting away from them is rather easy. Why? Because I am All Migh..." All Might coughed up blood and became a scrawny shrimp again.
"Who are you and why are you impersonating All Might!" Jason yelled making a knife.
"No, no." Midoriya said stepping in front of Jason. "It's All Might all right. This is just a side effect of an injury."
"Okay." Jason said. "But I'm not putting the knife away yet."
"Fair enough." The maybe All Might said wiping his mouth of blood. "Young man." He said turning to face Midoriya. "I come with thanks, a correction, and a suggestion."
There was silence for a second before he continued.
"If you hadn't been there... if you hadn't of told me about your life... I would have turned into a guy in a bodysuit who was all talk. Thank you."
"That can't be... it was my fault in the first place. I got in the way of your work."
"Uh." Jason said confused. "Did I miss something?"
"I'll tell you later." Midoriya said before turning back to All Might. "Besides. I said all of those impertinent things even though I'm Quirk-less."
Jason glared at All Might.
"That's right." All Might said to Midoriya. "It was because it was none other than the timid, Quirk-less you at the scene that I was able to act."
Midoriya looked at All Might.
"Say What now?" Jason asked.
"Top heroes have stories about them from their school days. Most of their stories have one thing in common: Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think. It happened to you ten years ago." All Might pointed at Jason. "Ten years ago, at that park you and your friends moved on your own to protect your families and friends."
Jason was taken aback that All Might remembered.
Midoriya started crying.
"That was true for you wasn't it?" All Might asked Midoriya.
"Yeah." Midoriya sobbed through clenched teeth before falling to his knees.
"You can become a hero." All Might said to Midoriya.
Jason watched as his best friend, and the number one hero just sat in silence.
After a while All Might spoke up. "You are worthy to inherit my power."
Jason's head spun over to look at All Might and Midoriya looked up with a runny nose and tear-filled eyes.
"Huh?" He asked. "In-inherit your power?"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" All Might laughed. "What's with the face? It's just a suggestion. The real show starts after this."
All Might walked up to Midoriya, and Jason tensed ever so slightly.
"Listen, young man. You need to decide..." All Might held one and in the air. "... whether or not you will accept my power!" He yelled pointing at Midoriya before coughing up blood.
"What are you saying?" Jason asked putting words to Midoriya's thoughts.
"I'm talking about my power." All Might said to both of them. "The Tabloids called it Superhuman strength and a boost and I constantly dodge the question with interviews with a funny joke. I did this because the Symbol of Peace, All Might, had to be a natural born hero. But I will tell you the truth, I am swearing you both to secrecy, and if you promise to keep quiet about this then I will tell you."
"I can keep a secret." Jason said.
"I can too." Midoriya said.
"Very well. My secret is that My Quirk was passed on to me like a sacred torch."
"So, you were Quirk-less too?" Jason asked.
"Your Quirk was passed down to you?" Midoriya asked at the same time.
"That's right. And next, it is your turn?"
"So, you weren't Quirk-less?" Jason asked.
"W-Wait! Wait a minute." Midoriya said. "It's true that your Quirk is something hotly debated as one of the world's greatest mysteries. So much so that not a day goes by when I don't see someone talking about it online. But we'll, I don't really understand. What do you mean by inheriting or passing on a Quirk..."
"Great." Jason said. "And now he's muttering to himself."
Jason and All Might looked at each other before looking at Midoriya.
"You always start with denial, don't you?" All Might asked. "Nonsense!"
"Huh, What, huh?" Midoriya asked breaking out of his thoughts.
"I may hide a lot of things." All might said. "But I don't lie! The power to transfer power... that is the Quirk I inherited! I was crowned with "One for All"!"
"One for all?" Jason and Midoriya asked.
"That's right. One person cultivates the power and passed it onto another person, who also cultivated it and passes it on. It is the crystallization of power that spins together the voices of those who need help with a courageous heart."
"Why-why are you giving me something so great?" Midoriya asked.
"Because. I have been looking for a successor. And then, I thought it would be all right for you to inherit it. You are just a Quirk-less hero fanboy, but you were more heroic than anyone else back there."
"Even Jason?"
"Jason has a Quirk to protect himself with. You don't. That makes you more heroic than Jason."
"R-really?"
"Never mind! Well, it's up to you, though. What will you do?"
Midoriya clenched his hand into a fist before he wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up. "I'll do it!" He said with confidence and conviction.
"An immediate reply." All Might said. "That's what I thought you'd say. Meet me at Dagoba Municipal Beach Park tomorrow morning at sunrise, and we will begin your training."
"Training?"
"Yes. You can't just inherit One for All, you need to train to inherit it. If you didn't then your arms, legs, and head would be blown off by such awesome power."
"Please tell me you're joking." Jason said.
"I wish I were, but the power of One for All is Vast..."
Jason's and Midoriya's phones rang. They looked at each other sheepishly before answering their phones.
"Hi mom." They said in unison.
Two loud female voices erupted from the speakers.
All Might looked at them and knew that he had made the right choice.
AN: So, Jason, Midoriya, and their friends are pretty close. When Bakugo tried attacking Midoriya, Jason, Johnny, and Rouge went to fight Bakugo, and went a little overboard, and Anna and Elsa went to help Midoriya. Then when Bakugo was attacking Anna and Elsa, Midoriya punches him hard enough to drop him, but not hard enough to keep him down. He doesn't have the almost twenty years of experience that Jason has, but he has been training with Jason since he was five.
Jason treating the Principal the way that he does might be a little unbelievable, but it does seem like something he would do later on in the DC universe. Though his friends have every reason to be worried. More on why later.
As for Midoriya and Jason attacking the Sludge Villain I just wanted a reason for a Jason/Midoriya team up.
And I can't imagine Their mothers being happy about it.
Enjoy.
