Everyone was having a stretch and going to use the rest room. A few people made it over to the snack room. Izuku was currently helping Eri fill a bowl of apple slices for herself. Inko walked up to the pair. "Izuku honey?"
"Yes Mom?"
"I am so sorry for how I crushed your dream when you were small" She apologized while fighting back tears.
"Mom, I've told you already, it's all behind us. You even made my hero suit. You've been super supportive now"He assured is mother while giving her a hug.
"Uhm," A small voice came from below. "Are you Papa's Mama?" Eri looked up with innocent eyes. Inko would be lying if she said she was used to hearing her teenage son called Papa, but she understood that the young girl needed to be treated gently.
"Yes, I am Izuku's mother." Eri launched herself forward and embraced the the green haired woman.
"Grandma!" Yup, that was it. The tears that Inko had been attempting (poorly) to hold back burst and she sobbed as she hugged the little girl to her. As Izuku was desperately trying to calm the newly christened Grandmother. Enji had approached Shoto who was getting himself a drink.
"Shoto..." All he received was a grunt of acknowledgment. "I...I believe I saw some cold soba over there. You enjoy it correct?" There was more silence but the dual haired boy turned so he could look at his father with his scarred eye. "Well, If you want it, it's over there" The man pointed to an area of the room. He then awkwardly walked back to his wife.
"Don't worry. Remember this isn't the Shoto from our time. There is a lot more healing that needs to be done. It will take time, but you are trying." The slender silver haired woman tried to console her husband as he emotionally fumbled his way through his ongoing mission to atone for his past sins.
She then noticed the blond woman, she believed her name was Mitsuki dragging the green haired woman away from her son and his charge. They were heading to a corner of the room with the taller woman pointing excitedly. "Enji, would you mind if I join the other mothers?"
"No, of course not. Please try to have some sort of fun" With a nod of thanks Rei went over to meet the other mothers. She picked up on the middle of the conversation they were having.
"Come on Inko! We are in the middle of some sort of pocket dimension, paused in time, watching our sons lives, AND it's not all sunshine and fucking roses. We need this, let loose a little"
"I really don't know...Oh hello" Inko interrupted her own response as she saw mother Todoroki approaching. "I don't think we have properly introduced ourselves yet, with all..." She gestured wildly with her hands to everything.
Rei laughed, "Understandable, I am Rei. Endeavor's wife and the mother of one of your sons' classmates, Shoto. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's a pleasure. I'm Inko and this is Mitsuki."
"Okay, okay enough of the pleasantries. Rei help me convince this one to relax!" Rei looked confused at the loud blond. Mitsuki rolled her eyes and stepped to the side revealing that there had been a table set up with several adult drinks.
"Oh my"
"This really isn't the situation!" Inko tried again, then looked for back up from Rei.
The pale eyed woman was thoughtful for a second, "You know I haven't had a drink in years...let's do it!" she grabbed a bucket filling it with her ice.
"Fuck yeah!" Mitsuki cheered grabbing two bottles of wine and an opener marching back to her seat next to the couch Inko had occupied. There had been another chair that appeared with a little table in front of them.
"W-wait!" Inko tried one last desperate time. As her new friend walked off giggling with her old one. "...We at least need these!" She called jogging after them pulling three glasses along with her using her quirk. Oh well, she gave in. It might be nice to have a mother's group here.
As everyone was milling about the teachers had already wrapped up their own snack run and Nezu had called an impromptu meeting in a corner of the main room. Before they started Midnight noticed that Present Mic had grabbed a White Claw. "You really are a basic bitch, Hizashi"
"Hey, Nemuri" Mic started, "Shut the fuck up" They both started laughing, causing Aizawa to groan.
"I'm glad everyone is in good spirits" The mousy principle said from his perch on Eraser's shoulder. "But on to more important matters." He looked up to All Might who still towered over the rest of them. "I take it from your reaction and repetition of not having time, that your condition will be revealed soon?" He looked seriously at the giant blonde hero.
"Yes at this point it is revealed to young Midoriya." All Might confirmed the principles question.
"Well, it can't be helped then. We will just have to ensure that everyone knows the severity of this secret once it's revealed."
"This is some wild shit, huh Higari?" Snipe commented while cracking open a Budweiser.
Power loader looked at his fellow staff member, "I have no idea how to even go about processing this. I am curious about this pocket dimension though."
"You and your gremlin" Snipe said while gesturing over to a wall where Mei was poking around trying to find a weak point while munching on a power bar.
Clearing his throat to get his staff refocused, the diminutive leader continued, "Also, upon our return I believe we need to investigate the Aldera School District"
"I agree, and second that" Aizawa jumped in immediately. "They more than likely have and support quirkist beliefs. The Teachers didn't stop the students from using their Quirks. Also the Teacher in the room did nothing when Bakugo assaulted Midoriya right in front of him."
"Yes that is true, but I am also concerned about where our Mr. Bakugo got his ideas and attitude about the Quirkless and other 'lesser' Quirks. It certainly doesn't seem to come from his mother. There is certainly some origin in his own thinking, but it seems to have been cultivated, whether he is aware of this or not." After this short conversation the rest of the staff agreed with the two. They then began to take their own seats. However, All Might motioned for Nezu to come over to him. Jumping up to the large hero, he cocked his head questioningly.
"My other secret will be revealed soon as well." The big man whispered.
"Oh my," The intelligent mammal remarked. "This really is an interesting day" he said with a small smile. He really should work on his penchant for enjoying chaos. He saw Celeste raise a glass to him out of the corner of his eye and had to suppress a cackle.
Eventually, everyone wandered back to their own seats with the only real change being Rei sitting with the other mothers present. Seeing all had made themselves comfy the hostess stepped forward. "All right, if we are all ready, we can continue from where we left off." Celeste looked around to see if there were any complaints she had to laugh. She was looking at Toga who when the host had transported her to the snack room privately had found the blood sausages and was know munching on them in rapture. "Okay then" snapping her fingers the next episode began.
The episode starts off with a short recap of the last episode in the form of Izuku asking his question to All Might and having small flashbacks to his past. He finishes with asking if he can be like All Might even without a Quirk.
"Without a Quirk?" The blond hero thinks before a flash of pain hits him. A feeling of Vertigo washes over the screen. He grunts and smoke seems to begin to rise from his body. "Oh no, holy shit, goddammit... not now"
"All Might!" All the kids shouted. Katsuki actually looked back at the hero in a mild panic.
"Hahaha, It's okay children, I AM STILL HERE!" This alleviated some of the tension in the kids. Inko had paused with her glass half way to her mouth to look at the man beside her. She decides she might want to put her drink down just in case something happens that would surprise her.
Izuku is currently explaining his circumstances about how he was bullied. However putting it in much lighter terms such as "Being made fun of" or "Being seen as week". He was looking down and away from All Might, concentrating on the things he was saying, so he didn't notice the disruption to his idol.
"Deku-kun did you really not notice what was going on" His seat-mate asked.
"N-no, not at the time, I was really concentrating on how to form what I was saying"
At this point more smoke had poured from All Might, billowing out and enveloping him. His form hidden from view. Izuku continues his speech, "Ever since I was a kid, I've thought that saving people is the coolest thing you can do." Getting a small smile in his face thinking fondly, "I want people to see my fearless smile and feel safe."
This made a few of the girls coo genially about how adorable he can be.
"And be the kind of hero everyone in the world looks up to. Just like you!" He finished and looked up. The smoke wafted away revealing All Might's shriveled form...And the young boy screamed!
The opening theme began.
Inko was glad she had put down her glass, as she nearly went into shock. General chaos had erupted from the assembled students as exclamations, denials of it being real and over all bewilderment took them. The teachers, and the Todorokis (who were from a time where everyone had seen this form) were unaffected but everyone else was shocked. Shoto had frozen in his seat, Katsuki was screaming about "What the fuck is happening?" Other's simply bounced there faces back and forth from the screen to the hero in the back of the room like they were watching the best tennis match ever at Wimbledon. Himiko had spit a piece of her sausage out which splatted against the glass wall of the box she was in. Stain's eyes were wide in shock, not understanding what he was seeing.
Finally Aizawa had had enough of the noise and activated his quirk getting everyone to settle down and pay attention, "ENOUGH! You are all heroes in training and have already faced villains and come out on top. You should be able to remain calm even in a shocking situation!" Having said his piece he sat down into his chair.
All eyes turned to All Might, who with a sigh released his muscle form with the smoke that they had just seen played out for them. There he sat next to Inko, taking up far less of the couch now. Sunken eyes and hollow cheeks, all skin and bone, with his proud blond hair now hanging ragged. His t-shirt and cargo pants hanging baggy on this thin body. Looking at those around him, their faces held confusion and doubt. "This is what has come to be my true form. This is how I am most of the day. My public form is a combination of me flexing both my body and my quirk" Eyes went wide at what the shrunken number one hero said.
Katsuki then said what was on everyone's mind, "There's no way...What the hell happened to you?! And How are you not freaking out Deku!"
Izuku answered for both him and All Might. "Oh I did as I'm sure we are going to see. As for what happened to All Might. His past self explains so we might as well listen instead of making him do it again." His mentor smiled at him in thanks. He then noticed the little hand of the woman next to him come to rest on top of his left.
"Are you cold?" Inko asked.
"I'm sorry?"
"You're all skin and bones...are you cold?" she asked again carefully. Hoping she had not offended him. All Might felt a pin prick of tears at the corner of his eyes. No one had ever asked before. He was always 'All Might' so he was never expected to feel silly thing like 'being cold'.
"A little if I'm honest" Inko motioned for Celeste and a green fuzzy blanket came to rest on the hero. He smiled in thanks.
Aizawa seeing this made a motion as well. The hostess materialized a yellow Snuggy so the grumpy hero could put his arms through and still hold onto his coffee. He had figured out towards the end of the last episode that his chair was a recliner. Eraserhead turned to the principle. "I resign, I'm staying here"
"Denied" the white haired hero said. Aizawa grumbled.
The opening credits finish. The location shown is the Tatooin Shopping District.
You can see the bottle containing the Sludge Villain. He is regaining consciousness and is confused at first. He then remembers the encounter with All Might.
Katsuki and the two goons enter the alley, with Katsuki drinking from a can. One of the goons starts asking about his past relationship with Izuku. "That was rough, weren't you and Midoriya childhood friends?"
"It's his own fault for getting in my way!" He then kicks the bottle sending it into a poll and knocking the cap off.
"Oh Shit!" Sero said out loud.
"Are you kidding me!? That shitty villain was in that bottle?" Katsuki couldn't believe that he was the one that let the villain that terrorized him free.
"So...every time my kid is an idiot we take a drink?" The Bakugo woman asks the other two mothers.
"Mitsuki! That's Horrible!" Inko looked at her friend in shock.
"What? It's that past. We know he made it out all right" She said with confidence.
"Still..."
"Someone has to show that worthless nerd how the world works" Katsuki continued. "I hate it when he acts like and idiot dreaming of being a hero like a little kid...he pisses me off" With that he blew up the can he was drinking from and threw it away.
"...So drink?" Inko asks. Mitsuki began cackling as Rei nodded. They all took a swig of their wine.
All Might had to stifle a chuckle himself when he heard the women next o him.
One of the goons then suggests they go to the arcade. Katsuki agrees but then the other two suggest that they should go to the one in front of the station as there would be "Lots of easy prey" as in take other peoples money to play. Katsuki gets pissed, "You idiots, if I get caught doing that it will wind up on my permanent record!"
"Right decision wrong reason, Bakugo" Midnight called out.
"Perhaps we should move up the class on Hero Ethics" Cementoss suggested to Aizawa and Nezu.
The goons suddenly look shocked with the one with the long finger Quirk pointing behind Katsuki. The blond boy turned around to see the Sludge Villain rising up. "Ah a medium invisibility cloak with a great Quirk" He declares excitedly before pouncing.
Title card displays: What it Takes to be a Hero
"Okay so maybe it is still stressful seeing that even though I know everything is fine." Mitsuki admitted. Her friends giving her a consoling look. Inko knew that the blond woman tries to cover her nervousness with bravado. So for her to admit even that meant that she was freaking out.
All Might clenched the arm of the couch, once again regretting that this happened. Although in a guilty part of his mind he was also glad for it. If it wasn't for this event he would have never have met his successor.
Back to Izuku on the roof top freaking out as the camera pans over the skeletal form of Small Might. "I- wait- who?...YOU DEFLATED!"
"See? I was a mess" Izuku said to Ochako
"Fake! Impostor! So skinny!" The teen continued.
"I assure you young man I am All Migh-" The man was caught off by a large amount of blood flowing from his mouth.
"Impossible!"
"Jeez are you all right" Natsuo called out to All Might.
"No, but I will survive" The hero answered the young man.
"I know I shouldn't be laughing, but your reactions are priceless mon ami" Yuga said to Izuku while holding his sides.
"You all were freaking out just a second ago!" Izuku defended in his embarrassment.
"You know how guys at the pool are always sucking in and flexing? Trying to look buff? I'm like that."
"This can't be real, I must be dreaming"
"Now I know where the brat gets the lame analogies from" Gran Torino laughed.
"Hey! It's accurate." All Might, pouted.
"Doesn't mean it's not lame" Recovery Girl added.
"All Might's a giant of a man who saves everyone. He defeats all obstacles, and wins the day with a fearless smile." The young Midoriya spilled out.
"With a weary sigh and looking very tired All Might began to speak, "Fearless smile, huh?" He sits down next to the rail of the roof. "Now that you've seen me like this, young man, make sure you don't write about this online, even by accident."
"Well cats out of the bag now", said Mineta.
"About that," spoke up Aizawa "if any of you reveal this, you will be expelled immediately. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Sensei!" they all replied.
Izuku had a look of horror as All Might lifts his shirt. He revealed an ugly angry looking scar with a large bruise.
"Holy fuck!" Mitsuki looked queezy.
Endeavor touched the scar on his face. "Is suppose I don't have much to complain about."
"You've been running around like that for over a year?!" Hawks balked.
"Oh the buffoon has been going at it for far longer that that" Torino replied.
"Are you in much pain?" Inko asked the haggard man next to her.
Not wanting to lie he replied, "I am in pain, but it isn't anything that can't be managed, it's the other complications that affect me more." Inko looked at him in his dark eyes curious and worried about what he meant."
"An injury I received from a villain attack five years ago." All Might continued.
"Toxic chainsaw?!" Bakugo shouted accidentally giving away that he was an All might nerd too. Thank fully he was saved by Hawks' outburst.
"SIX YEARS NOW!?" All in attendance that didn't already know this just stared at the Number One Hero, with a renewed sense of awe and respect.
All Might kept explaining, "Half of my respiratory organs were destroyed and I lost my whole stomach. I've become emaciated from repeated surgeries and the after affects. Right now I can only work as a hero for about three hours a day".
Inko now understood what he meant, he couldn't eat normally. Even breathing would be difficult. Add to that the fact that he continued to work as a hero meant that he was constantly aggravating the injury, which would explain why it still looked freshly bruised.
"That does explain why you were making fewer and fewer appearances." Mused Yaoyorozu.
Izuku was musing, "Can't be, five years … Toxic Chainsaw?"
"You're well informed, but that punk couldn't defeat me" All Might flexed. "This fight was not made public to the world. I asked for it not to be made public." He looked up wistfully, "I will save people with a smile! The Symbol of Peace cannot be daunted by evil. I smile to show the pressure of heroes,...and to trick the fear inside of me."
The other pros in the room felt the weight of those words. Understanding that many of them go through the same emotions. Those of them with personas like Midnight, or Present Mic knew what it was like putting on the mask every morning. Sir Nighteye glared at the screen reliving every moment with his idol and partner. Not for the first time trying to figure out if there had been something he could have done to keep this series of events from having happened.
Himiko was in awe. All Might was so beat up, but still strong. Would Izuku become that beautiful one day? How come she had never thought of getting All Might's blood?
Stain was hanging on every word. His mind having recovered from the shock of the number one heroes true form. Now with every passing syllable it was building the man into a God of Heroism. The absolute paragon!
"Pros are always risking there lives. I cannot simply say 'You can become a hero even without power'."
Izuku looked like he had been struck. "I...see..."
"No... no, All Might didn't say that" Stain was stricken. How could this man say something like that to the boy. There must be more.
"What? Then How?" Sir Nighteye asked taken aback.
"You will see in a moment" All Might replied. Inko was trying to wipe away her tears, and took a long calming swig from her glass. She was surprised and felt bad for Izuku. However, she couldn't be mad at All Might. She understood, he didn't want the boy to get hurt. It was the same thing she had done, only to hurt him in a different way.
The whole class was in shock. They knew that All Might had a soft spot for Midoriya, they thought for sure was going to be the one to encourage him.
"How dare you," Gran Torino said quietly, looking angry...and sad...and a little understanding all mixed together, "Giving where you came from" All Might hung his head in understanding.
All Might rises to his feet and begins walking towards the door from the roof. "If you want to help people you should become a police officer, it's a fine occupation" He opens the door and pauses. "It's not bad to dream but you have to consider what's realistic, young man." With that he leaves the roof coughing, and realizes that the bottles that contain the Sludge Villain are missing. An explosion happens that he can see outside the window, "Don't tell me..."
"A villain!" Izuku notes, he originally was going to rush to the scene as normal, but then remembers his idol's words.
"Are you okay, Midoriya?" Shoto asked his fist friend.
"No problem, Todoroki. I'm fine now." He replied with a smile.
All Might was running to the site of the villain attack, clearly out of breath and exhausted. Civilians were everywhere in panic. Death Arms and other Heroes have arrived. Death Arms notices Katsuki in the grips of the Sludge Villain. "A child was taken hostage," He announces, "You coward!". He attempted to attack the villain, but it proved ineffective.
The Sludge Villain swatted Death Arms away, and then warns off the other heroes. The captive boy was not going down without a fight though. "I'm not going to let sewage swallow me!" He screamed and let off multiple explosions.
"Woo! That's my baby! Don't let that bastard get you!" Mitsuki cheered. Katsuki slumped in his seat trying to hide his embarrassment.
The villain thinks about how when he has Katsuki's Quirk he can get revenge on All Might.
Kirishima starts laughing loudly. "What's so damn funny?"
"No offense, I love you bro, but there is no way you were taking out All Might then. Even if her was injured" The blonde snarled but couldn't refute what was said.
Mt. Lady showed up but couldn't get to the villain because she didn't have the room. Kamui Woods saves some trapped civilians two of which were Bakugo's goons. However, he mentions how he is not good with explosions/fire so he would leave the villain to someone else. Back Draft was preoccupied in fighting the fire until the fire department chowed up, therefore he could not engage the villain. "All we can do is wait for someone with a more suitable Quirk!"
"Wait! What about Katsuki!?" Mitsuki was suddenly worried... and pissed. "He's right there but you fuckers aren't even going to try doing anything?"
The pros were upset. You may be in an unfortunate situation, but you still have to attempt to do something.
The civilians are beginning to get worried by the time All Might finally arrives. He remembers the midair struggle when he tried to push off Izuku. He clutches his chest, "That time... I was too distracted by my time limit. I make this kind of mistake after admonishing a fan...Pathetic...Pathetic."
Commercial cards flash.
"You are not pathetic All Might!" Izuku yelled back to him.
"The boy is right," Nighteye said. "You have pushed yourself further than any person I've ever met."
"You are the template of all heroes!" Shouted Stain from his box. The room filled with various affirmations and motions of agreement. Even though he was unsure how he felt about being praised by villains, he felt appreciation warm his chest.
Izuku is shown walking along a sidewalk reading his notebook. The note book being shown is Kamui Woods, there was much writing but the most visible notes were, "Best at holding back damage" and "So cool".
Nezu perked up getting this sneak peak.
The boy remembers what his bullies have been saying for years and turns the page. This one was Mt Lady, "Gigantification: 20m!?" "Canyon Cannon" "Huge!" "Sexy!".
"I FUCKING KNEW IT!" Mineta shouted. "That quiet nice guy shtick was all and act! You're one of us"
Sero and Denki started chanting, "One of us, one of us, one of us."
"Huh? W-what are you guys talking about?" The fluffy headed boy really wasn't sure what they were getting at.
"Green, why did you write 'sexy' in Mt. Ladies analysis?" Jirou asked eyeing him suspiciously. Honestly he noticed all the girls in his class except Uraraka were giving him some level of the look, (well he assumed Tooru was). His Aunty looked like she was about to pull something to try to keep from laughing. Todoroki's Mom and sister just looked confused. Mei looked like she couldn't give less of a shit. Himiko looked ready to kill. Yup, he felt a panic attack coming.
That is until Midnight spoke up. "Midoriya isn't like that. Trust me of all people. I can smell out people like that on sight." She shot Mineta a look. "Seriously kid why did you write that as part of your analysis?" Nezu scooted forward on his chair as if that would help him hear the answer better.
"Well, whether we like it or not physical attraction plays a large part in a hero's likability and long term success. Rating attractiveness is part of factoring my likability scale for heroes.
"Splendid!" The man-mouse beamed, "Very insightful, as unfortunate as it is as you say, you are correct."
The next page shows All Might's autograph. Izuku closes the notebook. Tears have formed in his eyes. "Even a top pro said it. .. Don't cry!..You Knew! That's why you were trying so desperately" The imagery is of him walking in darkness. "You were averting your eyes, not looking at reality.
An explosion went off. It turns out that Izuku has wound up at the villain encounter anyway even though he had intended not to go. As he put it, "His body must have come out of habit"
"What the hell type of habit is it to randomly show up to villain fights?!" Thirteen demanded.
"No, no, that is actually to be expected from problem child." stated Aizawa.
Gran Torino nods his agreement then glares at All Might. "Oh no, I am not responsible for that one" The still tall but skinny man defended.
"Not directly," The older hero grumbled back.
"He has a point" Said Sir trying to hide a smirk behind his hand.
He tries to convince himself not to check it out, but goes over to the crowd and tries to see over it anyway. He identifies the Sludge Villain. He too remembers the mid air struggle and begins to blame himself for the entire situation.
"Oh yeah you two have nothing in common" the aging man stated sarcastically. Shoto's head snapped to look in the direction of the old man.
Izuku then hears about the hostage and is amazed that they can survive given his own experience with the villain in question. He starts blaming himself again. The crowd begins to talk about All Might's involvement with the villain and begin to wonder where he is. The blonde over hears this and begins to call himself pathetic. Izuku and All Might begin to bounce back and forth blaming or berating themselves in someway.
"Are you two actually serious?" Cementoss asked.
"Two examples of true heroism, and all they can see is their own short comings, it would be beautiful if it wasn't tragic." Agreed Stain.
Katsuki looks up in desperation and locks eyes with Izuku... The notebook falls, and Izuku is moving shocking All Might and the rest of the Heroes.
"Izuku/Deku-kun/Izu-kun/Midoriya/Midobro/Problem Child! (etc)"
Heroic music starts up!
"Whoever wrote our soundtrack is fucking awesome!" Jirou shouted.
Izuku looks manic as he's running. The heroes are yelling at him calling him an idiot and to stop. The Sludge Villain recognizes the approaching boy. Katsuki struggles out "Deku?"
In his mind Izuku was freaking out, "Why did I run out? What am I doing? Why!?"
"You don't know why you ran out Papa?"
"Uhm, not in the moment."
"You're weird"
"What do I do?" Remembers his notebook, Kamui Wood's page (page 25) and the line, Preemptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison: Quickly stretch out arms (vines).
"You have an eidetic memory!" Nezu declared, this was not a question or soft statement.
"A what, sir?"
"A photographic memory!" The principle was grinning from ear to ear. The rest of the UA staff were scared stiff at this.
Izuku takes off his bag and hurls it at the villain, an All Might pencil case falls from the bag and hits the Sludge Villain in his solid eye. It flinches away allowing Katsuki enough give to partially break free and can breath. "KACCHAN!" Izuku yells out and begins clawing at the sludge covering Katsuki.
"Why are you here?!"
"My legs just moved on their own! I don't know why though!"
From the narrator's perspective, "I think there were carious reasons...," Izuku remembers all the bullying and his own admiration of heroes. "But at that moment..." Izuku forces himself to smile despite his eye being filled with tears of fear. And speaks out loud.
"You looked like you were asking for help" This jolted All Might. Katsuki's eyes started rolling back as he screamed at the villain.
"Stop IT!"
"You are one crazy little shit, in the absolute best possible way" Snipe said as he was practically bouncing out of his seat with hype.
"I don't care if you didn't teach him to do this yourself, it's your fucking fault!" Recovery Girl shouted at All Might as she pointed her cane at him. Although she couldn't help but have an insane grin at the heroics the boy was doing.
The mother's were jittery with Inko at the point of near fainting, their drinks long forgotten.
The class was whooping it up, all of them were on the hype train gassing up the passed selves of their classmates. Even Mei and Shinso joined in. Himiko was sure she was falling in love all over again, while stain was simply standing with his arms over his head in victory, feeling like he had made the right choice with the boy again.
Endeavor watched with tightly clasped hands. Looking intently at the origins of the boys that would become his work study interns and the future heroes of the villain war.
All Might forces himself to buff up once more. The Sludge Villain attempts to attack Izuku. The other heroes finally start moving, "He'll die in vain!"
"Is he Suicidal?"
"Well if you had fucking done something, maybe the Quirkless 14 year wouldn't have had to!" Mitsuki yelled back at the screen. The pros in the room silently agreed with her.
A crater appears in the pavement blowing away the All Might pencil case from before (from the real All Might's passing). The villains arm comes down and an explosion ignites.
The room has gone silent. Apparently everyone in the room forgetting the boys were sitting in the room along with them.
The smoke clears revealing Izuku to be in one piece. "I really am pathetic," All Might had blocked the attack. "Even though I had admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" The music swells again, the number one hero grabs Katsuki. "Pros are always risking their lives!" He shouts as blood pours from his mouth. DETROIT SMASH!" The enemy is blown away by tremendous air pressure. All Might is hanging on to the two boys so they aren't blown away. Mt. Lady is shielding civilians even though she appears to be getting buffeted as well. The other heroes are bunkered in a corner. The camera pulls back and you can clearly see a tornado raging.
"You know, I don't think I will ever get used to seeing that" Said Endeavor.
"You said it, and knowing that he is actually severely injured just makes it all the more impressive." added Thirteen.
The rest of the Heroes in attendance are in awe. Then the rain starts. The boys appear knocked out behind the large hero. "No way, don't tell me"
"With just a punch..."
"He changes the weather!?"
Now cheers began to rip through the crowd for All Might like never before. The blond man stumbles but it goes unnoticed as he quickly slides into his victory pose.
Izuku's narration, " After this Heroes collected the scattered sludge" (in trash bags) The attending heroes were posing for a photo op of them saluting the police. "and safely delivered it to the police." All Might is now surrounded by reporters. Izuku was being yelled at by pros, In this case Death arms and Kamui woods. While Katsuki was being interviewed and praise. "I was majorly scolded by the heroes, but Kaachan was praised," and Kaachan was pissed. A few scenes of the afternoon play by.
It was hawks that spoke up, "I thought you had already surpassed your time limit"
"I was but I can pushed myself further in a pinch. The down side is that there would be a lot of your tech attached to your face.
It is here that we find our protagonist meandering home. "I wanted to apologize to All Might, but he was swarmed by interviewers. I didn't wanna interrupt. I can always try to send a message through his website when I get home."
"Deku!" Katsuki came running up, "Listen. I would never ask for a weakling like you to help me. Don't think you can look down on me. Huh? Got that? I was fine by myself. You're just a Quirkless failure who won't even cut it as a rent‐a‐cop. You didn't help me. You did nothing. Don't forget it. I don't owe you anything!" He then turns and stomps away.
"What was that?" Izuku asked in confusion.
"Seriously though, what was that about?" Ojiro asked
"I had that guy right where I wanted him!" The explosive blonde yelled.
Tsu looked over with her mostly expressionless face, "You wanted him down you throat? Kero?" She asked flatly.
The room burst into laughter, Mitsuki actually challenging Present Mic for volume with her cackling. All Might had to cough into his hand to hide his chuckle. Even Aizawa had to bury his face in his scarf to hide a smirk.
"Fuck you frog bitch!"
"Why is everybody laughing, Papa?" Eri asked
"O-oh, I'll uhm t-tell you when you're older"
"Deku-kun, could you tell me too, I don't quite get it." Ochako asked. For some reason she didn't understand this got the people around them to laugh harder. It also seemed to make Deku blush intensely, and with his green hair he did an excellent impression of a tomato.
Shoto leaned back to his siblings and father. "I too, do not understand what is so amusing" Fuyumi put her hand on her father's shoulder.
"For once your sheltering seems to have paid off for the better"
"I...I'm not sure if that was a good tease or a bad tease but I'll take it"
"Now I can think of a realistic future" It seems that the Izuku on screen had finally given up in his dream.
That thought seemed to sober the crowd quickly.
All Might dashes from around the corner startling the young man. "I am Here!" Izuku asks how he got away from the reporters. As he tries to answer and flex he transforms into his small form while spitting out blood.
Koda got it Izuku's attention and signed that he wasn't going to get used to that anytime soon. The greenette nodded back in understanding.
"Young man. I came here to thank you. And also to discuss your question from earlier. If you hadn't told me about your life... If you hadn't run into that fight...I would've been a worthless bystander watching from the crowd. So thanks."
"Oh, no. It was my fault he was there to begin with. I got in the way of your hard work. I wasted your energy. And... not to mention your time." Izuku refuted.
"Take the damn compliment!" Mineta yelled.
"I can't believe I'm doing this, but I agree with Mineta" Mina chimed in, and then faked a dry heave at the end of her sentence.
"I'm not done. You told me you didn't have a power. So when I saw this timid, Quirkless boy try to save a life. It inspired me to act, too." A this Izuku gasped. "There are stories about every hero. How they became great. Most have one thing in common. Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think. Almost on their own."
Izuku began to cry. Narration from Izuku's pov "For some reason, I remembered my mother's words in that moment." The teen starts to break down and clutch at his heart.
The audience started getting a little emotional at this point.
All Might continued, "And today, that's what happened to you."
Izuku is doubled over grimacing and openly weeping at this point as if he is trying not to hope to hear what he desperately wants to. "That's not it Mom. Back then, what I wanted you to say..."
Inko leaned in, tears flowing, listening intently to the screen, at this point only the most reserved people could hold back their own emotions watching the seen. Even Enji had to clear his throat a few times.
His legs buckle and drops to his knees, "The words I wanted to hear were..."
All Might stand in front of a sunset as the wind blows dramatically, somehow looking every bit the hero despite being in his smaller form. "You, too, can become a Hero" That was the finishing blow. The young man falls over howling with emotion. Just from hearing the thing that he had been denied his whole life.
Katsuki was hit by this thought rather hard, he decided to push it down to think about later. No that wasn't an emotional sniff and if you accused him of it he would blow you to hell.
All might felt arms around his neck and jumped, looking down he found Inko kneeling on the couch and still needing to reach up to hug his neck. "Thank you...for saving my son. Not just physically either."
"It really wasn't much" He replied as best he could without getting choked up.
"No, it was everything to him"
The rest of 1-A and the two other students from UA (Minus bakugo) piled on Izuku in a group hug, with Eri climbing on top of the pile.
"Dreams can become a reality," Narrator Izuku said.
The gathered people all had a wash of warmth when that was said. But it wasn't over!
"By the way, I forgot to mention that this is the story, of how I became the greatest hero."

"WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DID YOU JUST FUCKING SAY, DEKU!"
"I-I-I didn't, I don't know w-what that was about!" The poor boy shrieked as the mass of people stared at him with jaws dropped.
"Oh I think this is a perfect time for a break so everyone can cool down," Celeste announced
