Izuku knew he had felt this level of rage before, but if you asked him in this moment he would not be able to tell you when. They had muzeled her, bakugou and even if she had tormented him no one deserved this. His shadows lash out, shattering the pillar shredding her cuffs and slashing the back of the muzzle, the crowd going silent and Bakugou freezing up in confusion spitting out the muzzle, her shock overshadowing her rage.
"How dare you." he says, his body covered in red, black and green lightning as he glares at the teachers.
"What gives you the right to muzzle a student, it's your job to help people Not to treat them like animals!" he yells at them cracks running down the winners podium and across the ground.
"All Might would be ashamed." he says and they look ashamed. Good.
"I should take your quirks, you don't deserve to be heroes if you act like this." he says and everyone seems to take his threat to heart, Except for Endeavour who seems to be ignoring him.
"Can we move on to the medals now?" he asks and Izuku has to restrain himself from spearing him with black whip right then and there. He grabs the third place metal walking over to his daughter and placing it over her neck.
"You did good, using your flames im proud." he says and she looks up at him.
"At that moment for the first time I forgot you even existed." she says taking pleasure in the anger and the slight hurt of her comment. He turns away walking, grabbing the silver and walking over to bakugou.
"I know how much this hurts your pride, but this will make you strong." he tells her and her glare finally returns. Even bakugou dislikes endeavor.
"I won't lose again." she says determined. And he turns, grabs the gold medal and walks up to izuku.
"It seems I underestimated you. It won't happen again boy." he says and puts the Gold medal around his neck.
"When the time comes i'll crush you, you false pillar, i'm going to rip out your quirk, do you understand?" he says and Enji glares looking like he wants to take a swing at him, Izuku silently daring him to throw the first punch until Enji finally turns away leaving the three on the podium, the cheers finally returning to the arena.
Izuku and Melissa walk towards his home after Aizawa had told them they'd have two days off to recover when his phone starts to ring. He looks towards the caller id answering.
"Hello Iida." he greets
"Midoriya, you can transfer your healing quirk, yes?" he asks, his voice sounding hopeful.
"Yea why, what's wrong? He asks hurriedly.
"My brother, he fought the hero killer stain and he's in bad condition. I beg you to lend him your quirk."
"Which hospital iida?" he asks, looking at Melissa who nods understanding how important this is.
"Hosu general." iida says.
"I'm on my way." he says.
"Thank you." iida says sounding like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders, hanging up.
"Ingenium is hurt, his brothers my friend and I need to go." he hands her his key. And she pulls him in for a kiss he kisses her back and then the two of them separate.
"Go be a hero izu." she says and he crouches down jumping away and soaring through the sky like all might.
IIda meets izuku at the lobby of the hospital.
"I'll never be able to thank you enough for this midoriya." he says bowing tears pooling in the corners of his eyes.
"You don't need to thank me. Where is he?" he asks knowing the sooner he starts healing the better.
"This way." iida says gesturing down the hall looking like he'd like for the two of them to sprint. Izuku starts walking at a fast pace until they turn a corner and find a small blue haired woman, she hears their footsteps and looks over at them. Izuku sees that she has been crying.
"Mother, this is my friend from school izuku midoriya. He can help tensei." iida tells her and he can see the hope in her eyes,
"Can you really?"she asks, voice full of hope.
"Ill need to talk to the doctors but my quirk allows me to take and give quirks and i have two high level healing quirks. I should be able to lend them to him." he tells her and he suddenly feels her arms wrap around him her grip surprisingly strong.
"Thank you so much."
"Ill go get the doctors tenya says rushing off. Leaving the two together miss iida lets him go wiping tears from her eyes.
"We'll never be able to thank you enough midoriya."
"You don't need to thank me Mrs Iida, if I can help someone I will."
"That's very admirable, I'd expect nothing less from an up and coming hero." he hears footsteps coming down the hall and they turn to see iida and two doctors rushing towards him.
"This young man says you have a quirk that can heal this man?" they ask.
"I can transfer a regeneration quirk capable of rebuilding limbs and a secondary quirk that regenerates all wounds."
"We would need to monitor this closely, if this works you would be a very valuable asset to any hospital." they say and izuku doesn't like the greedy look in the youngers eyes
"Then get it ready, the sooner the better his wounds are still fresh so there shouldn't be any lingering damage."
The hospital visit had dragged on far longer than Izuku would have liked but after hours of tests questions he had been able to transfer over the quirk tensei idas wound healing before their very eyes. And after the iidas profound thanks he had made his way home finding melissa asleep on his bed wearing one of his large All might sleep shirts. He had climbed into the bed besides her falling fast asleep.
He wakes up to the feel of something shifting looking over to see Melissa looking at him.
"I tried to stay up for you but i got tired."
"That's ok, The doctors held me there for a long time."
"What happened, it sounded urgent?" she wonders sitting up cross legged on his bed izuku sitting up too.
"The pro hero ingenium met up with the Hero killer stain and was badly injured. So i lent him my healing quirks." he explains.
"Will he be alright?"
"Yea, he should be, everything was looking good when i left." he tells her climbing out of bed.
"Want some breakfast?" he asks her and she nods, climbing out of the bed izuku leaving the room melissa redressing in her clothes from the previous day and making her way to the kitchen, Melissa sitting at the counter as Izuku pulls out eggs and butter from the fridge.
"So i have two days off of school, do you want to go to the mall later? I know that the weather here is very different from I island."
"I'd love to." she says with a smile as he very carefully cracks an egg, a difficult task with the nerve damage in his fingers. Throwing four pieces of toast into the toaster pushing it down.
"Well go after breakfast, i didn't ask last night but where will you be staying while you're attending u.a?"
"Actually I'm renting a room a few buildings over." she says as he flips the eggs with a spatula.
"Oh cool, it will be great having you so close." he says with a smile and she smiles back as he sets a plate of eggs in front of her with a side of toast plating his own and turning off the stove sitting besides her both eating in a companionable silence.
Izuku finished first and took his plate and dropped it into the sink. Seeing melissa finished too he looks at the stove seeing 830
"If you head back to your place now we can meet back up at ten" he suggests.
"That sounds great Izu, it's been too long since our last date." she says with a smile standing and putting her plate in the sink and kissing Izukus cheek .
" see you in an hour." she says leaving the apartment shutting the door behind her. He moves back into his bedroom finding his phone on the floor picking it up and dialing
Iidas' number pressing it to his ear as he moves to his closet sliding it oppen.
"Midoriya!" iida greets.
"Good morning iida, i'm just calling to check in on how your brother is doing."
"The doctors have said that he will make a full recovery. I can never thank you enough."
"And how are you?i know he's better but it still happened" he asks knowing how far a person could go for revenge.
"I do not know, I haven't had time to focus on much other than tensei. But i appreciate you asking." he says and izuku decides he'd need to keep an eye on him.
"Just keep in mind that im here for you, even for dumb ideas." he tells iida and can almost see the look of confusion on his face.
"I'll.. keep that in mind." he says.
"Alright, Call me if anything happens."
"I will. Bye midoriya and thanks again."
"Bye iida" he says and iida hangs up.
Izuku and Melissa walk into the mall, Melissa wearing her red shirt and tan pants and Izuku wearing a grey shirt with the word dress shirt written on the front and blue jeans and the red band of his right gauntlet on his wrist. Melissa holds onto his arm as they walk through shop after shop buying clothes and trinkets just enjoying eachothers company a few people recognizing izuku and giving him words of praise and support, both of finding their arms full of bags by the time they reach a heromerchendise store and izuku sees them five figures standing in a circle starting with a young yagi toshinori wearing the u.a uniform with a metal around her neck followed by All might in her young costume then her bronze than silver and finally All might in her golden age outfit spinning in a slow circle.
"Melissa, i need that. It was sold out everywhere." she two of them walking up to the register.
"How much is that?" he asks, pointing at the collectors item.
"Two thousand, it's a limited edition." the guy at the register says and izuku reaches for his wallet
"I'll take it, can you wrap it in bubble wrap?"
"We can, usually you fanboys don't have this kind of money. That things have been sitting here for almost a year"
"Lucky me." he says smiling wide as the man pulls it down walking into the back and finding the box for it walking back to the front.
"Hey, you have any more of these?" he asks and the man walks over to the computer typing in the item number.
"We have three, You know anyone who might want them?"
"I'll take all three." he tells the man whose eyes light up.
"That's great, i'll get em for you." he says, rushing to the back before Izuku could change his mind.
"Three of them?" Melissa jokes nudging his shoulder.
"Don't try to deny that you want one." he responds and she grins.
"I could buy it for myself," she offers.
"I like buying my girlfriend gifts," he says as the man walks back out placing all three into a big bag, Izuku slides his card and pays.
"Hey didn't you win the sports festival?:" he asks and Izuku nods the man pressing the button on the receipt printer pulling out a blank strip.
"Can i have your autograph?" he asks
"Of course." he tells the man taking the paper and the receipt signing his name before handing it back.
"Thank you" he says and izuku smiles.
"No problem, have a great day." he says, picking up the bag and the receipt being placed inside. The duo walk out of the building.
"Anywhere else you'd like to go?" he asks her and she shakes her head.
"I think we have enough don't you."
"Probably, I'll call us a taxi. I don't want to drag this onto a train."
"Sounds great." she says sitting on a bench izuku placing his bag onto the bench besides her pulling his phone out and opening a taxi app ordering one to his location getting a text that ittle be there in twenty minutes.
"Ittle be here in twenty, we can stop out front of your place and i can see your apartment since you've seen mine." she grins at that.
"Inviting yourself back to my apartment izu? How bold."
"I came home to find you sleeping in my bed last night melisa, i dont think im the bold one out of the two of us." he replies smiling at her.
"Oh hush, i was waiting to make sure everything was ok." she argues, her cheeks pink.
"Whatever you say melissa." he says and she playfully swats his shoulder.
Izuku wakes up early, dressing for the day and grabbing a big umbrella from the bin besides his door, walking out and down the street to Melissa's apartment buzzing her apartment number at the front.
"Hello?" she asks.
"Goodmorning Melissa, I was hoping I could walk with you to school?"
"Sounds great ill be right down." she says and the sound cuts off melissa emerging from the front a few minutes later ducking under Izukus umbrella.
"Such a gentleman." she jokes and they start the short walk towards the school. Iida running towards them.
"Good morning izuku, we should pick up the pace."
"Theirs five minuts till the first bell."
"A good student should be ten minutes early,'' he tells them, jogging past Izuku and melissa shearing a look before jogging after him.
Izuku shakes the rain from his umbrella before pushing it into a bin and melissa kisses his cheek,
"I'll see you at lunch izuku." she waves at him and iida before heading off towards her classes.
"Hows Ingenium?" Izuku asks Iida and he sees the smile on his face.
"He's already trying to go back out, mother had to put him under house arrest." he says, sounding horrified at the prospect.
"Sounds like ingenium, how are you doing."
"I'm sorry for worrying you midoriya, I'm fine" he tries to get Izuku to drop it.
"I understand revenge iida, Just make sure you don't go down a dark path" he warns.
"It's ok, you don't need to worry." iida says before walking off. Izuku followed after but decided not to push. They reach class finding many students already there.
"You won't believe what a bunch of elementary school brats yelled at me." tape man says.
"Nice try?" tsue guesses and he can see him take physical damage from her words the rest of the group laughing.
"I was asked for an autograph by a shopkeeper," Izuku says sitting at his desk as the door slides open.
"Morning.'' Aizawa says, sounding half dead as he walks to his podium.
"Good morning mr aizawa the class says in unison everyone is now sitting.
"We have a big class today on hero informatics." the class starts to panic.
"You need to pick your hero identities," he cuts in and the panic quickly turns into excitement. The class cheered and Aizawa activating his quirk to frighten them back into behaving.
"This relates to the pro hero draft picks that i mentioned during our last class. Normally you wouldn't have to worry about this yet but youre class is different, by extending offers to first years like you pros are essentially investing in your potential. Any offers can be rescinded if their interest in you dies down before graduation though."
"So what you're sayin is we'll still have to prove ourselves after we've been recruited?"
"Right, now here are the totals for those of you who got offers." he says pulling a remote out izuku getting five thousand followed by todoroki bakugo tokoyami iida and the rest off the class.
"In past years it was more spread out, but this time the gap is pretty large." Izuku hears complaints from his class as he stares at the number. five thousand. He's pulled out of his head by bakugos screaming.
"Despite these results you'll all be interning with pros. Got it. Even those of you who didn't get any offers. Ittle do you good to see heroes at work. These hero names will likely be temporary but take them seriously or…" the door is thrown oppen cutting aizawa off.
"There will be hell to pay later." Midnight cuts in Kaminari stands up excitedly, people finally beginning to notice minetas absence by his lack of a reaction.
"What you pick today could be your codename for life. You better be careful or you'll be stuck with something utterly indecent.
"She's got a good point, midnight has final say to approve your names. It's not my forte." aizawa says pulling his sleeping bag out and cocooning himself in it
"The name you give yourself is important it help reinforce your image and shows what kind of hero you want to be in the future a codename tells people exactly what you represent take allight for example." he says and izuku sits forward and bakugou hands back blank boards izuku grabbing one from her and handing it back. Izuku reaches into his bag pulling out a marker and takes time writing it out laying it face down until it's his turn, he'd known his hero name for almost a year.
"Now, does anyone want to go first?" midnight prompts and a wave of panic goes through the class izuku standing.
"I'll go." he says walking to the front slamming his board down written in bold letters is ALL MIGHT. Silence reigns in the class as they stare at the board even midnights eyes widening. Iida stands up waving his arm roboticaly.
"MIdoriya, that name is copyrighted. And using it would be very disrespectful." Shouts of agreement ring out through the class and Izuku's quirks flare,the board exploding in his hands black and red lightning mixing with green as the room is filled with Izuku's presence overwhelming them.
"Never claim i would disrespect All Mights legacy, She chose me to be her successor and i will carry on her legacy no matter what anyone says." he tells them staring out over the room daring anyone to say something.
"A big statement, i love it." midnight says grinning and Izuku thanks her going back to his seat
