If I die here this is how they'll find my body, Izuku thought when he saw the masked lunatic burst through the door.

Tsukauchi would have to explain to mom how her son had died with his junk hanging out. The people in his funeral would be snickering if they ever found it out. Toga screamed something he couldn't quite make out. In response the man ran at Toga with his sword raised. The same emptiness he'd felt when he saw Bakugou in the clutches of the sludge villain filled him. Nothing mattered. Not his fear. Not how strong the villain was. How stupid he'd look if he died. Someone was in danger and only he could do something about it.

No.

Not just anyone.

Toga was about to die.

Without thinking he activated One for All and threw himself at the man. He hit the madman like a cannonball and sent them both through a wall. Toga's neighbor screamed when a naked adolescent and a nutcase dressed like a ninja broke into her apartment. Izuku glanced at her quickly while trying to wrestle the man down.

"Run! Call the…"

The man was a tough customer. When the woman ran out he grabbed Izuku's face and his fingers were searching for his eyes. Fear took control and Izuku bit his hand. With One for All powering his jaw Izuku's teeth went straight through bone and muscle like they were butter.

The man jumped off him and stared at his had that was three fingers poorer. The look he gave Izuku was more annoyed than pained.

"You spit those out right now, brat."

A knife flew over Izuku's head and it hit the man in the shoulder. Izuku saw… himself jumping at the man armed with a baseball bat. The man didn't share Izuku's shock and blocked the other Izuku's blow with his sword cutting the bat in half. The other Izuku didn't let this deter him and punched the man in the face. The blow was shallow, but strong enough to send the man flying.

"Yo, Izuku-Izuku! Yer Quirk is awesome!"

"… Toga?" Izuku managed to say.

The man got up.

"You're bleeding." The man said.

"Oh… shit." Toga muttered.

Toga's punch had torn the skin off her knuckles and the man licked the blood off his cheek. His tongue was grotesquely long like a serpent's. All Izuku's muscles froze up. It didn't matter how hard he tried; his body wouldn't move. What was going on?! Why couldn't he move?!

Toga turned her Quirk off, and the transformation melted away. A small part of Izuku couldn't help but be impressed. He wished he could have written it all down. Both the paralysis and transformation Quirks.

"… Toga… run…"

It took all he had to get the words out. The man gave him a tight-lipped smile while dripping blood from his finger stumps.

"Such chivalry. You might be worth sparing."

"Fuck off, baby Stain. He's my archenemy. Go find yer own." Toga said.

Stain? The… serial killer? Oh God!

"You people are so goddamn weird." Stain muttered.

Toga just grinned and picked up the knife that had fallen off Stain's shoulder.

This couldn't be happening! Toga might be fearless, but she couldn't fight someone like Stain! It couldn't end like this! He had to do something! Anything! If something happened to Toga…

Move! Move you, shitty nerd, Izuku screamed inside his own head. He's going to kill her!

"… Toga… run… please…" Izuku pleaded while tears ran down his face.

"You're brave. It will be over when you wake up." Stain said.

Stain stepped closer to kick him unconscious. Time slowed down. When the heavy boot closed in on his face Izuku saw his chance and took it. He was paralyzed from the neck down, but everything above it worked. To an extent. He bit Stain's ankle and activated One for All. He'd chew the bastard's leg off if he had to! Stain left out a howl of pain and whatever mercy he had felt evaporated. Stain raised his sword.

"That's how ya fucking do it, Izuku-Izuku!" Toga yelled and licked the blood off her knife.

Suddenly there were two Stains in the room and one of them was naked as the day he was born. Izuku shuddered. He could have lived his life without knowing what Stain's dick looked like. Both Stains fell over, but Toga turned off her Quirk quickly and managed to regain her balance.

"Cool! Yer not immune to yer own Quirk." Toga said.

"… you… little bitch…" Stain cursed.

Izuku bared his teeth.

"Don't talk to her like that!"

"Ya tell him, Izuku-Izuku."

Feeling started to return to Izuku's body and he was able to get up just in time to hear the sirens. Toga grabbed his hand and pulled him back into her apartment.

"Grab yer shit and run. I don't know how long that will hold him." Toga said.

Izuku picked up his clothes and bag. They dressed in the hallway and ran out the back when cops swarmed the building.

"Keep running!" Toga yelled.

Without knowing what else to do Izuku followed her. Toga was in surprisingly good shape and could easily keep up with him. They ran until Izuku could no longer hear the sirens. They stopped in an empty park and Toga started laughing.

"That was so much fun!"

Revulsion made Izuku's stomach hurt.

"… fun? We… we could have died."

"And that's what makes it fun. Yer Quirk was so cool. It was just like… All Might's? Oh my God! Ya are All Might's kid!"

"… what?"

"It all makes sense. The training from All Might. The daddy who's never there."

"… Toga."

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. We…"

"Toga!"

Toga looked more surprised than annoyed.

"What?"

"We could have died! We… we have to go back and tell them what happened. We… we…"

"Yeah. We ain't doing any of that." Toga said.

"… but… they'll come looking for you. We can't just…"

"Good luck with that. The room ain't under my name." Toga said.

"… what?"

"If people knew who I was they'd send people after me. They'd take me back… there. I ain't ever going back."

Stain hadn't scared her, but now… Toga looked scared. Izuku clasped her hand.

"Toga… Himiko. Talk to me. Who hurt you?"

Himiko tried to shake his hand off.

"Ya wouldn't understand."

The words boiled out in the heat of the moment.

"Then help me understand. I want to understand. You're not alone. I… I love you."

That had been a mistake. He knew it the moment Himiko averted her gaze. She pushed him away with a hard shove.

"Never say that. It will hurt too much when ya don't."

Himiko ran. Too fast for Izuku to follow and all he could do was call after her. She never turned to look back.
