Whatever You Want

Chapter 3: Responsibility

After All Might dragged young Midoriya out of class, he took him to the nurse because his arm wasn't looking so good. Luckily, it got all fixed up. Currently, Midoriya and All Might were the only people in the room.

"So, what is it that you want to tell me, All Might?" Midoriya asked.

All Might continued to look at Midoriya, starting to speak. "Well, you've probably already heard about this, but the second sports festival is coming up. It is essential that you do well in it. I can't stress it enough."

Midoriya heard this, and slowly nodded. "Yeah, sure..."

All Might raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, lad? Don't tell me you're losing confidence."

"I mean... It's just... It's just that everyone can use their quirks at a moment's notice. Yet here I am, still not knowing how to fully control One For All without breaking a bone in my body." Midoriya scoffed at his own comment, clearly frustrated.

"I have a feeling this is my fault..." All Might replied, holding his chin.

"What? How could it be your fault? You're the one who gave me One For All in the first place." Midoriya replied.

"Yes, but it is my responsibility to train you, and I feel at fault because you're still having some trouble with using One For All," All Might added, sighing. "Young Midoriya, do not blame this on yourself. This is my fault. I gave you this great power, and with great power comes great responsibility."

Midoriya looked up at All Might, this time raising an eyebrow of his own. "I feel like I've heard that from a movie before..."

"Really? Ahahahahaha! And here I am thinking that I was being original!" All Might shook his head, but then the bell could be heard ringing, signaling that it was time for lunch. "Ah, it's time for your lunch! Enjoy it! We'll talk later! Also, don't forget to practice for the dance!"

Midoriya got up, completely forgetting about that. "Oh, that's right, we have a dance." He paused, letting his own words sink in. For one, he can't dance. "Oh dear God, we have an actual dance..."

At Lunch

Midoriya was sitting with his two best friends, Iida and Uraraka. Currently, our hero was eating a simple sandwich, mainly keeping to himself. Iida and Uraraka looked at each other, worried for their friend.

"Are you okay?" they both said, seemingly in unison.

Midoriya laughed awkwardly, noticng the looks that Iida and Uraraka were giving him.

"Haha, yeah, I'm fine! What makes you guys think I'm not fine?"

"You were late to class today." Iida added.

"You screamed at Bakugo, which is something you never do." Uraraka pointed out another thing, which was completely unlike Midoriya's usual personality.

"Man... did I really scream at Kacchan?" Midoriya thought. This secretly made him scared for his life. He didn't even realize what he was doing at that moment.

"And really, overall, you've just been acting really weird lately. Ribbit." Tsuyu would decide to sit with the trio, noticing Midoriya's recent weird tendencies as well.

Midoriya nodded, trying to play it off. "Come on, guys!" He sounded like he was in his positive tone, but really, he was just acting. "I'm fine, really! Nothing is wrong with me."

"You're telling the complete truth when you say this?" Once again, another person would come into this conversation. This time, it was Kirishima adding his two cents.

"Nothing but the complete truth!"

It was a bald headed lie, but hey, to Midoriya's credit, it was paying off. He tried to think of something quickly to avoid this conversation entirely. "So, uuhhhh...! What about that dance coming up, huh? Don't you guys think that's gonna be fun?!" he exclaimed. Really, the dance was something that he didn't want to talk about either, but it would at least take the attention off him for a bit.

"I mean, I guess it's going to be fun." Iida shrugged. "I could care less if I had a date or not, though."

"I'll tell you who cares about it the most out of anybody!" Suddenly, Mineta jumped onto the table, rasing his fists in the air. "MEEEE!" he yelled. "Being able to see a bunch of hot girls in hot dresses is not only a privilege, IT'S A GIFT! The greatest gift in this history of mankind!"

Everybody at the table just looked at Mineta with a blank expression, knowing his pervert tendencies, which was the exact reason why he was saying this stuff in the first place.

"Ribbit. Pervert. Ribbit." Tsuyu added, making everybody laugh out loud. Mineta could only sigh at this development.

"You guys know I'm right!" Mineta added.

"So, Deku, who are you taking to the dance?" Uraraka asked.

However, when Uraraka asked this, Midoriya was too busy looking at somebody that was currently in the lunch line, still waiting to receive her food. Of course, the person he was looking at was Momo.

"Midoriya!" Iida yelled, snapping him out of it once again.

"I DIDN'T DO IT!" Midoriya raised his hands in the air, freaking out because Iida snapped him out of his trance for the billionth time, it seemed like. Once he realized he was acting weird again, he calmed down. "I mean... Yes?"

"DEKU."

Midoriya got chills down his spine. That voice sounded too familiar. It also sounded quite angry.

That could only mean one thing.

Midoriya turned around to see Bakugo with an insane look on his face, smirking at him. He quite clearly remembered how Midoriya screamed at him in class.

"Oh, oh no... Oh God... Oh crap... OH CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"

"I'LL DYE MY WALLS WITH YOUR BLOOD, DEKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Not wasting another moment, Bakugo leaped into the air, and once he landed, he completely obliterated the table that everybody was sitting at, which also made Mineta fly across the cafeteria, crashing into multiple tables before crashing into a wall.

"YOU KNOW, KACCHAN, WE CAN ALWAYS TALK ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS LIKE REGUALR PEOPLE!"

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPP!"

Bakugo continued his pursuit of poor Midoriya throughout the entire lunch period. Midoriya couldn't stop running for even a second, or he would be considered burnt toast if Bakugo ever got his hands on him.

Ah, best friends indeed.

After School Ended

Midoriya was walking home again, wanting to mind his own business. Though, he wouldn't get walk alone, because yet again, Momo would catch up to him. "Hey, Deku!"

Deku turned around to see the beautiful Momo. He smiled at her as she came up to him. "Hey, Momo."

"Hey, are you alright? It was hard to not notice what went on in the cafeteria with you and Bakugo. He didn't hurt you, did he?" Momo obviously cared for Deku's safety.

"No, he didn't hurt me. Though, that's probably only because I refused to stop running." He let out a laugh, as Momo let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. I don't want you getting hurt." This quote made Deku blush, and he once again tried to hide it. Momo also wondered if she should talk about why Deku has been acting unlike himself lately, but she figured that she would talk about that later.

With that done, Deku decided to break the silence. "Sooooo... Do you have anybody you're going with to the dance?"

"Not really." Momo said this casually, and honestly, this shocked Deku. How could she, out all people, not have a date to the dance?

"Not really?" Deku replied, raising an eyebrow. This didn't make sense to him. "Why not?"

Momo shrugged. "I just haven't been giving it much thought, really."

Oh boy, this was his chance. Momo didn't have anybody to take to the dance. This was HIS chance. This was HIS moment!

Twiddling with his thumbs, Deku tried to figure out the words at a moment's notice. Say the words, you freaking nerd! It's simple!

Deku took a deep breath, knowing that there's only one way that this could be said.

"Momo, would you like to go with me to the dance?"

This question stopped both people in their tracks. There was silence for a moment, but Momo could only smile sweetly at Deku. "I would love to go to the dance with you." Saying this, Momo kissed him on the forehead, and oh boy... If Deku wasn't blushing enough already, then he was definitely doing it now. It was like his whole body was turning red in an instant.

Jesus, this kid was such a nerd. Has he ever gotten a kiss from a girl before?

Momo continued to smile at Deku, tilting her head. Oh God, the tilting her head thing only made her more cute/hotter all at the same time. "I'll see you later, okay?" she told him, walking off. Deku was currently in a trance, not sure what just happened to him.

"I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming right now... There's no way that could have just happened, especially to someone like me..." To make sure he wasn't dreaming, he pinched himself, and he could indeed feel the pain. Yep, this wasn't a dream. This was real.

"OH MY GOD, THIS IS REAL LIFE!" He shouted this at the top of his lungs, deciding to run home out of excitement. His crush just said she would go to the dance with him! On top of that, she gave him a kiss!

When he made it home, he ran inside, surprising Inko. "Izuku, are you alright?"

"Yes, yes, I'm completely fine, Mom! But we have to get a suit for me! I have to go to the dance, because I have a date!"

Inko was shocked, yet happy at the news Izuku just gave her. For awhile, she thought that Izuku getting a date would be nearly impossible. "That's great! Let me put on my shoes and I'll take you to the store!"

Moments later, the two were ready and went out suit shopping.

At the Store: Night Time

Izuku had chosen a suit, and he thought it would look good on him. It was a seemingly old school looking white suit. You would think that it would be in a secret agent movie, and that's specifically the reason why Izuku chose this suit. It looked extremely cool. Since Inko already gave him the money to buy whatever suit he wanted, she was in her car waiting for him. However, as she was waiting in her car, she noticed something odd was going on not too far away from the store. Curiosity overtook her, as she got out the car and walked to where the weird situation was taking place.

Back with Izuku, he went up to the cashier, he was about to buy the suit, but then somebody pushed him, making him drop his suit Whether or not it was on purpose or an accident remains to be seen.

"My bad." the man said, getting behind him.

"Oh, it's fine." Izuku replied, picking up his suit. He eventually paid for it and walked outside, exiting the store.

"Alright, who's ne-"

Before the cashier could finish, he found out that a gun was being pointed at him at point blank range. The man holding the gun was the man who pushed Izuku on 'accident.' With his left arm, he was carrying a bag to put money in. This was a robbery.

"Shut up and put the money in the bag quickly."

Fearing for his life, the cashier was quickly trying to give the robber all the money he had. Though, he was still going too slow for the robber's case.

"HURRY UP!"

The cashier went even faster, putting all of the money he had inside the robber's bag. Afterwards, the robber just hit the cashier by slapping him with his gun. Running outside, he turned right to catch up with his gang.

As for Izuku, he came to Inko's car, but to his surprise... she wasn't there. "Mom?"

Then, the cashier that got hit by the robber ran out of the store, pointing to the direction where the robber was going. "Somebody stop that guy! I got robbed!"

Izuku turned around and saw where the cashier was pointing. Hey, he attended U.A. High for a reason, right? The least he could do was stop the robber. So, he took off, running to wherever the robber was going.

With Inko, she noticed that three other men were mugging an old lady, and she would try to put a stop to it. "What do you think you're doing? Don't you have any respect for your elders?!" she said, as the three men just looked at her. They started laughing at Inko's attempt at getting them to stop.

"What's so fu-"

Inko didn't get to finish, as she was shot in the back. She coughed up blood, instantly falling on her back, hitting the sidewalk hard.

"I hate people that don't mind their own business." Another robber said this, finally meeting with his gang. "Let's go. The cops are probably gonna show up soon."

The gang nodded, running off to their car.

As Izuku came closer to the situation, it was like he heard a loud gun shot. Oddly enough, it was close. Like, really close. When he kept running, he could see a body that looked lifeless on the sidewalk. It was weird. That body looked familiar.

He squinted at the body, and as he got closer, his eyes widened.

"Mom...?"

With each second passing, he got closer and closer to the body. This made him realize that it was Inko's body.

"MOM!"

He ran as fast as he could, kneeling down to Inko's body that was seemingly drowning in a pool of blood. He put his hand behind her head, screaming at the top of his lungs. "MOM! WAKE UP! MOM!"

The blood coming from Inko was now getting on Izuku's hands, covering them. Izuku's eyes started crying, combining sadness with frustration. "SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE!"

Inko slowly opened her eyes, looking at her son. "Izuku..."

Izuku looked at his mother, holding her hand this time. "I'm here, Mom!"

Inko was barely staying awake, though. She was trying to speak to her son the best way she could, but she could only muster his name.

"I-Izuku..."

Inko tried to say something else, but her eyes closed. Her hand let go of Izuku's hand, and now her body looked completely lifeless.

"No... NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO! MOM! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! YOU'RE THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT! MOM!" Izuku was still shouting at the top of his lungs, but when Inko wasn't replying, each passing second was making something clear to him. He kept crying at this realization.

Inko was dead.

Suddenly, a car took off in a crazy manner, catching Izuku's attention. At this point, there was no doubt about it. Those were the robbers, and there was no doubt in his mind that they had something to do with this.

Gritting his teeth, letting revenge and anger take him over, One For All was making his body look massively electric, even more than usual. He looked straight at the car, and his face looked possessed.

"THEY AREN'T GETTING AWAY WITH THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

Jumping into the air, it propelled him forward towards the car. It almost looked like he was flying, but he was just going so fast until somebody could mistake it for Izuku flying.

Inside the car, the gang was giving each other fist bumps. "Easiest money we'll ever make, boys!" the leader said. They all laughed, but then the leader looked at his mirror. He saw an odd development going on. It was like a kid was chasing after them. "What the..."

Getting close enough to the car, Izuku had already charged more than enough power to completely send that car into oblivion. With a maniac-like look you would expect from Bakugo, Izuku shouted these two words that no opponent wants to hear from him.

"DEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT SSSSMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He punched the back of the car, sending it flying into the street, as it went all over the place. When Izuku landed, he could already feel the pain in his arm, but he would ignore it. He jumped on the hood of the car to see the people who killed his mother. Since the closest person to him was the leader, he grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, looking at him dead in the eye.

"Ok, come on! Don't kill me! Give me a chance, kid! GIVE ME A CHANCE!"

"WHAT ABOUT MY MOTHER?! DID YOU GIVE HER A CHANCE?! DID YOU?! ANSWER ME?!" Izuku slammed the leader's body on the odd of the car, but as time passed, he took a good look at him. It made him stop completely in his tracks, as the face looked familiar to him.

Then, it all came together for him, and it felt like somebody just put a sword through his stomach.

This was the same guy that was behind him in the store. The same guy who pushed him.

Another realization would come from the robber who shot Inko. This was the boy that was just at the store getting a white suit. When he took a closer look at him, and remembered his words about his mother being dead, and then remembering the person that he shot, it all came together for the gang leader. He just killed Izuku's Mom.

"You're... you're the kid that was at the store... and you're the spitting image of that woman..."

Hearing this, and knowing this, Izuku was now really, really enraged. "You killed the only parent I had left... I don't even know where my Dad is... She was the only one there for me... The good times and the bad times..." While Izuku was continuing to speak, his other arm was becoming electric again. One For All was about to be used again, and it was going to be used for murderous purposes.

"N-no! Kid! I-I'm sorry! Please, don't kill me!"

"THIS IS FOR MY MOM!"

The gang leader closed his eyes, getting ready to be killed. Though, after about 10 seconds, he noticed he was still living. He opened his eyes, as Deku didn't do anything. His arm had went back to normal, and he was now looking at the street below him. He let go of the gang leader, dropping him on the hood while still having an angry look on his face.

He ran away, as the cops surrounded the gang members.

At the U.A. High Dance

Currently, every student was having a pretty good time, dancing with one another. In the background, Mineta was doing the best he could to get as close to a girl as possible. Bakugo looked like he wanted to destroy the suit he was wearing, because it really felt uncomfortable on him.

Iida and Uraraka were going to the dance as just friends (Yes, just friends), but they noticed that their friend, good old Midoriya, Deku, or whatever the heck you want to call him, wasn't present at this event.

"He didn't show up?" Uraraka stated.

As for the person that he was supposed to be dacning with, Momo, she honestly wasn't mad at all. In fact, instead of being mad, she was worried for Midoriya's safety. She doesn't think that he would be the type of person to ask someone to the dance and not show up. There would have to be a good reason for it.

She brought out her phone, trying to call him. Though, he wouldn't answer it.

"What's going on with you...?" she muttered to herself in a worried tone.

The Next Day

Midoriya came to school and got ready all by himself. He walked through the halls, not saying a single word. His face just held a blank expression. At this point, all of his fellow classmates found out what had happened through the news report last night. They all felt bad for him, and really, he's never looked this lifeless before.

Uraraka and Iida stopped Midoriya from behind. They both grabbed his shoulder, trying to be there for a fellow friend.

"We're always here for you. You know that, right?" Iida asked, smiling.

However, Midoriya didn't even turn around to face his two best friends. His body, his mood, everything about him felt so lifeless that it didn't make him want to do anything.

He continued to walk away from them, without saying a word. Then, another person would stop him. This time, it was Momo.

Momo just looked at Midoriya with warm eyes. As much as he tried to avoid it, he simply couldn't. Momo came closer to him, and instantly embraced him in a hug. With each passing second, his tears were becoming harder and harder to hold back. After the hug ended, Midoriya just walked away, and Momo could only look as her friend was going through the toughest moment of his entire life.

Hours later...

It wasn't too long after school was over, and Midoriya was at his mother's funeral. Her body was already buried, and all he could do was look at the burial. He felt like his mother's death was all his fault, but how could he have known that this was going to happen? He didn't know that a guy standing behind him in line would be the one to shoot his own mother, who was trying to stand up for an old lady being mugged. She died trying to do a good thing, and she was the one that paid the price for it.

Midoriya clenched his fists, holding back his tears.

Then, a familiar voice would be right behind him.

"Deku."

Midoriya raised his head, knowing the voice that was speaking to him.

He would be silent for a long time, wondering if he should even respond, but he would.

"If you came here to insult me, or be angry at me like you always are, this isn't the time..." he stated, knowing that it was Bakugo.

You see, once upon a time, Bakugo's mom and Midoriya's mom were friends. They knew each other well, which is what definitely made Bakugo and Midoriya hang out a lot as young kids.

Even Bakugo, who was always a raging bull, couldn't rage at this. Even if he currently hated Deku's guts, there was somewhere deep, deep, deep, deep inside where he remembers the fun childhood memories he had with him, before he was called quirkless.

"I'm not here to do that." Bakugo replied.

"Then why are you here?"

Bakugo would also stay silent for a long time, but then he would say this.

"I've come here... To tell you... That I'm so-"

When Bakugo was trying to say something he's never said before, suddenly, the planet started shaking, catching both boys off guard.

"W-what the heck is happening?!" Deku shouted, as he and Bakugo tried to keep their balance.

From Space

A mysterious figure was currently in space, looking directly at planet Earth. He extended his arm, and charged up a powerful beam attack.

"It's time to rewrite our mistakes."

The figure released the large, electrifying purple beam at Earth. Once it hit the planet, it visibly started to crack, and all of the continents were being separated from each other. As the earth started to come apart, the core was being exposed more and more, with each piece making the earth look like pieces of a puzzle rather than a whole entire planet.

The waters, the waves were becoming more violent, engulfing other cities from from other states. The people were running and screaming for their lives, wondering what could cause such a thing.

Mountains that were inseperable started to separate, being ripped in half completely. More and more land was starting to become cracked, and Earth itself looked like it was about to be destroyed.

Though, that wouldn't be the case. While some serious damage was made, the earth still had its pieces and its core, although the pieces were currently separated.

We transfer back to young Bakugo and young Midoriya, who was seeing all of this unfold before their very eyes.

"Deku! Get back!"

Bakugo warned Deku to get out the way, as the ground beneath him was cracking. Deku jumped to a safer part of the area, but when he looked back, the crack was separating him and his mother's burial. "No...No...NOOOO! MOM!" he yelled, extending his arm out, but Bakugo grabbed it before Deku could do something stupid.

"Are you insane?! She's already dead, Deku! We have to get out of here!" Bakugo said. He was actually bringing logic into this, and while his yelling still had his angry tone, it actually made sense.

Not wasting another moment, Bakugo made Deku get up and they started running. Deku looked back to see his mother's burial for the last time, as he and his mother were truly separated for good.
