I'm the Damned Mailman!
So people apparently like this idea for a fic which has honestly surprised me given whenever I try a new story I usually get swarmed with people demanded I stop and just focus on Darkest Hero.
So someone actually asked what "build" Izuku actually has aswell as specific perks, well it's not all of them as I'm only part way through new Vegas myself and since I keep getting side tracked by side quests I only just arrived at New Vegas at level 12.
S: 6
P: 6
E: 7
C: 7
I:8
A:5
L: 6
Perks: (rather, some of them) Gun slinger, Rapid Reload, bug stomper, retention, Swift Learner, power armor training, comprehension, educated, Hand Loader, Cowboy, Quickdraw, Lord Death, recycler, survivalist.
Weaponry: .357 revolver (modified, chamber, heavy barrel, quick trigger) 9mm pistol (modified, scope) 10mm pistol, Riot shotgun (modified, quick trigger) Minigun (modified, double drum capacity) Laser Gatling gun, Laser pistol (modified, triple beam) Gamma pistol, Rocket launcher, Fatman, Grenades, Plasma grenades, Dynomite, Power fist, Knife.

Now onto the rest of the Q and A!

Q: So the pairing is Izuku/lily?
A: no. Lily was just the one traveling with him when everything happened.
Q: is mei gonna throw a fit upon seeing how damaged the t51 is?
A: probably, also this is Mei we're talking about here, power loader would have a heart attack at the mere thought of her being anywhere near the riot armor let alone power armor or a fatman.
Q: will he be able to use VATS?
A: not too sure if I should add it or not honestly.
Q: so he time traveled?

Just for reference for this chapter as there is a bit of swapping between languages here.

All Might speaking: Hi
Chapter 2: Sludge Villain
Yagi was having a piss poor day. First he got a verbal lashing from Recovery girl because he tried eating a hamburger the night before, then he found he was out of food so he had to go shopping. While shopping he had not only stepped in gum but also got called an old fart by some kid with long fingers and now he was chasing a villain made of sludge through the city sewer system. He needed a good long shower once this was done, and new shoes as he likely wouldn't get rid of the smell.
He rounded the corner of the pipe junction, a dead end asides a missing manhole cover from above.
"Ah jeeze." The blonde hero sighed as he heard struggling above and the sound of something cutting into jello, cracking his knuckles he jumped out of the sewers with a cry. "NEVER FEAR FOR I AM HERE!"
"Help me!" The sludge villain begged.
The sight before him wasn't one he had expected, a large blue man with a massive blade smacking the sludge villain around like it was a tennis ball and racket while a kid in snipe cosplay was using grey tinted water to wash the green slime off of his clothing.
"TO WITNESS AN UNUSUAL SIGHT." Yagi finished with an owlish blink. "SIR, I CAN TAKE IT FROM HERE!"
"You look, familiar." The one in snipe cosplay hummed to himself in english, green hair peaking through a crack in his helmet. "Hey lily, I think the sludge thing passed out."
"He did? Stupid sludge." The large blue individual grunted causing Yagi to reevaluate them to a woman as opposed to a man.
"Perhaps we can use the bottles to contain them." Yagi hummed aloud, slipping into English.
"I have some." The green haired individual stated as a empty bottle labled Nuka Cola appeared in his hand.
"My thanks young man, but using your quirk in public is frowned upon." Yagi explained sternly as he accepted the glass bottle.
"Q-quirk. You know it's a quirk?" The teen asked, his one visible eye going wide. "Which country are we in?!"
"Why Japan of course." Yagi replied as he scooped the sludge villain into the glass. "Are you alright?"
"Which prefecture?" The teen asked softly.
"It's Mustafu. Are you lost young man?" Yagi asked in concern as he put a cork on the bottle, making a mental note to look into this Nuka Cola brand, it wasn't often one could find an English brand in Japan after all.
"I'm home. I'M HOME! YEAH!" the teen called excitedly. "What year is it? I've been gone since I was eight years old! Oh crap, lily this may mean you're stranded. Shit! I think I asked Vanessa to keep an eye on the strip before we left, we'll have no caps before the day is out!"
"Young man you need to start making sense. Where did you go?" Yagi asked in mild concern. After all while time dilation quirks were rare it did happen on occasion in fact he remembers the month Gran Torino got stuck in a dilatation and aged two extra years during his fight with his nemesis.
"Izuku here just appeared one day on the ranch, terrified of everything." Lily spoke up. "The language barrier was difficult at first but he was a quick thinkerer. That was ten years ago."
"I ended up in another world if I would have a guess." The teen explained. "Or another timeline atleast, they didn't have quirks there but mutations were rampant, they didn't even invent actuators and all pre war tech was vacuum tube based or nuclear."
"That's quite a story there mister." Yagi uttered with a slight blink.
"Where's the nearest... Sheriff outposts?" The teen asked, stumbling over the word to use.
"The police? Head that way" Yagi stated as he pointed behind them. "Head down the main street until you get to the butcher's and make a left, from there turn at the burger place and it's at the second from the end on the right."
"Thanks." Izuku replied with a slight nod.
"Now I must be off to get his vil-" Yagi was cut off as he coughed up some blood.
"You're hurt deary!" Lily gasped her her gravely voice. "Sit down and rest."
"I have some stims." Izuku offered.
"I am ok." Yagi waved it off. "I must be going so farewell!" He called as he rushed to the end of the tunnel and jumped, grunting in pain half way through his jump as he started to steam violently.
Izuku and lily blinked in shock as the man jumped over the buildings and out of sight. With a shrug they decided to make their way along but not before applying some rad-away just incase the sludge was radioactive in nature.
"Lily. I know you and Leo don't like it but I'll have to keep a hold of your sword." Izuku spoke carefully, not wanting to anger the woman who had helped raise him for a decade. "Japan has a no carry law for swords and firearms are right out. I'll keep is stored safely though."
"Leo agrees that we don't like it." Lily growled. "But it's the rules and the rules we will follow even if they are stupid human rules."
"Thanks Lily." Izuku sighed as the larger woman handed him her blade. His knees buckled slightly under the weight as it was dropped into his waiting hands then, one second it was there and the next it was gone. "Hopefully I remember enough Japanese to see if my mother is around anywhere and to see where we can go from there."
"Leo says that Leo wants to meet your mother to thank her and shove a boot up father's ass sphincter!" Lily growled.
"You and me both." Izuku replied bluntly as they made their way down the street. Lily barely garnered a second glance by most people passing by on the streets much to her shock. Infact a small child even said that her dress was pretty before rushing back to his parents, not that she understood Japanese.
"Like this place. No screaming and shouting at me. No bullets being shot at me, no nasty bugs either." Lily grunted as she readjusted her hat slightly, marveling at the cars drying past. "Never seen the metal boxes move either."
"I'm sure you'll get use to it." Izuku smiled back as they found the butcher's store and turned the corner right as the screaming started. A few heroes already rushing over to blockade the area from civilians. The pice already rushing from the other end to assist.
In the middle of the road was the same green sludge from before engulfing someone. Unseen blasts rippled the air shattering glass and causing people to flinch back in pain.
"Damnit, I need atleast two lanes to transform." A blonde woman cursed in Japanese.
"That's it. I am gonna punch the sludge again." Lily growled as she cracked her knuckles and took a step forwards.
"I'll handle it lily." Izuku spoke up, laying a hand on her elbow. "You heard the blonde before, you'd get in trouble if they think you have a quirk like me."
"Stupid laws." Lily growled as Izuku pushed his way through the crowd to the blockade where a masked man was attempting to use wood extending from his hands to stop the sludge only for it to splinter into pieces when it got too close.
"Hey. What happen." Izuku spoke up in Japanese. "Me and granny fight sludge before, got caught in bottle."
"What the?" A hero with water tanks on their arms asked in shock. "Snipe? You change your costume?"
"No. Not sniper." Izuku replied, shaking his head as he flashed his courier licence which coincidentally looked similar to a hero lisence, not that he'd know it of course. "Courier 6, need help?"
"Unless you can stop whatever the fuck these blasts are we can't do a thing." The blonde lady huffed as she settled for glaring at the sludge villain and his hostage.
"Hmm, sludge got victim." Izuku uttered softly before he pulled a pair of binoculars from nowhere and focused in on the sludge and it's hostage. "Girl, long ears, purple hair. Sonic quirk?"
"That'd explain why we can't get close." The masked hero huffed.
"I fight it." Izuku replied as his binoculars vanished and a riot shotgun appeared in his hands. "Beanbag rounds." He added upon seeing the horrified looks he had garnered.
"I almost feel sorry for the villain." Mt lady shuddered earning looks from the other two heroes as Izuku marched towards the sludge. "What? I went to school with snipe, beanbag rounds hurt!"
"Hey! Sludge brains!" Izuku called in English. "Let the girl go!"
"You again?!" The sludge growled back. "Speak Japanese you ugly fuck!"
"3!" Izuku called as he pumped the handle once. "2!" He took aim at one of the eyes of the villain. Closing his eye exposed through the crack in the mask since he had better view out of the intact lense. "1!"
A loud crack echoed through the street making many scream and duck down in fright as the villain let loose a scream of pain. Its form rippled violently as a purple haired girl pulled her head free from it's mass and took a deep ragged breath. Several more cracks echoed through the air as Izuku sprinted for the sludge, more rounds striking it's mass further destabilizing it.
By the time he reached the sludge the girl was half exposed and already trying to pull herself free from the mass. Firing another round into its face for good measure Izuku grabbed her arm and pulled the girl's arm as she grabbed ahold of his wrist. With a firm yank they were free of the sludge.
"I SHOULD OF KILLED YOU WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!" The sludge roared as it batted aside the shotgun and slapped loose Izuku's helmet revealing his face to the crowd and to the media who was recording what was happening. The villain snarled, now looming over them and severely pissed off, several of the beanbag rounds were still visible floating inside it.
"I really am pathetic letting a kid handle my mistakes. DETROIT! SMAAASHHHH!" A voice called as a pressure wave engulfed the area sending the sludge flying and causing the clouds to rain down briefly.
"Holy heck he just changed the weather." Izuku blinked in shock. "I'm not even sure a GECK could do it that fast."
As the blonde from before made himself known those present went wild. Izuku and Lily shared a confused look and shrugged. People were weird no matter the world apparently.
"Y-you saved me thanks." The purple haired girl uttered softly.
"Welcome." Izuku replied in Japanese. "Izuku Midoriya." He smiled as he stood out his hand.
"Jirou Kyoka." The girl replied as she shook his hand, her ear jacks waving around nervously as the heroes rushed over with police and paramedics.
"Thank god you showed up when you did handsome." Mt lady grinned suavly, trying to flirt but coming across as borderline creepy to Izuku. "What school did you graduate from that taught you to do that?"
"What?" Izuku asked in confusion. "I'm 18."
"HE'S A KID?!" The heroes shouted in shock.
"Show me that damned ID!" The masked one who had been making wood snapped.
"Here." Izuku replied as he handed over his card.
"Courier 6, ID 31813, Mojave, California, class A courier, expiry 2289. Authorised by New California Republic?" The man read of in confusion. "This is so glaringly fake it's not funny."
"I'll take it from here woods." The blonde from before spoke up as he walked over, pointedly ignore the multiple camera flashes from the crowd. "Are you two alright?"
"I am." Izuku nodded as he pulled out pair of vials of Rad Away, handing one to Jirou. "Sludge maybe radioactive. Rad-away fix."
"Thanks." Jirou uttered as he blinked in confusion at the vial's instructions on the side. "Don't have with vegetables, may cause swelling, nausea, dehydration, can trigger shellfish allergies."
"You read english?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, I'm not fluent but I'm getting better." Jirou shrugged as Lily pushed through the reporters and rushed over.
"Lily, all good?" Izuku asked in English.
"Lily is okay." The mutant replied with a shrug. "Better than Vegas here, nobody been shot by press yet."
"Excuse me, we need you all to come with us please, you too All Might. We need a statement from you aswell." A man in a brown trench coat stated as he walked over.
"Stranger?!" Izuku gaped in shock.
"Pardon? My name is detective Naomasa." The man replied. "I just need you to follow me for questioning."
"Local sheriff." Izuku supplied in english to Lily.
"Stupid rules." Lily huffed.
"Uh, should I call my mum for this?" Jirou asked.
"We can call her from the station." The detective nodded in understanding as the rest of the police were busy helping clean up the villain or keeping the reporters and civilians back from the mess.
[Elsewhere]
A blonde girl with catlike eyes hummed to herself as she walked in the door to her house, closing it behind her with a kick of her foot. "Hey mum, I'm home!...mum?"
Rounding the corner she could only sigh at the scene before her. "Damnit she passed out again...and the carpet is soaked again. I need to invest in rubber socks at this rate." The girl sighed as they helped their mother up onto the chair before noticing the TV was on and turned to the news showing the aftermath of some villain attack.
End.
