Izuku was still screaming about how the man before him was an imposter and couldn't quite understand what was going on. He thought the man before him had to be some form of distraction for All Might to disappear off to somewhere else. The man sighed as he sat down after Izuku said All Might fights with a smile on his face no matter the cost.
"Trust me, there's plenty of fear behind that smile. I'm counting on you to keep your mouth shut about this. Don't go on the internet telling everyone about my true form" All Might said, slightly annoyed at having run out of time. But as they kept talking he suddenly remembered Izuku's question. "Wait, kid….you asked if I could train you? That you just got your quirk correct?" He asked, slightly confused on the subject.
"Huh? Oh right! Yeah, before I used to be quirkless and picked on a lot. And after standing up to….uh….an old friend today after he said I should probably….take a swan dive off the roof to get lucky in my next life for a quirk, well he got pissed and started to attack me for it. And when I was standing at the roof of the school….well I was under a lot of pressure and my quirk manifested. I don't even know what type it is. I know Present Mic has a voice quirk and…uh….lets just say a friend of mine has earphone jacks on her earlobes for her quirk. But other than that? I've never heard of this quirk. It's kinda weird." He paused slightly at mentioning Kyoka, unsure if he should tell All Might about her being his girlfriend, and a secret girlfriend at that to everyone but his mother, but decided against it as it would literally just tell the number one hero nothing about her.
"Weird you say? I doubt that. Have you seen our world lately? Show me your quirk, kid. Though that 'old friend' you mentioned is not going to make it far into the world if he doesn't lose that attitude of his." All Might said, curious about his quirk and pissed that someone would even suggest committing suicide to get a quirk. Izuku nodded and frowned unsure of what to sing before shrugging and choosing Stand Out from A Goofy Movie, though using NateWantstoBattle's version. And once he started, All Might was rather confused to see the lyrics and hear the other instruments play.
Open up your eyes, take a look at me
Get the picture fixed in your memory
I'm driven by the rhythm like the beat of a heart
And I won't stop until I start
To stand out
To stand out
All Might watched as the lyrics and music notes danced around him, reaching out to touch them, only for one of the lyrics to slap his hand away, making him look slightly offended before continuing to watch Izuku.
Some people settle for the typical thing
Livin' all their lives waiting in the wings
It ain't a question of 'if', just a matter of time
Before I move to the front of the line
The lyrics and music notes continue dancing around All Might, some of them doing break dancing moves and others just bouncing around and one even tap dancing on his head.
Once you're watching every move that I make
You gotta believe that I got what it takes
To stand out, above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna stand out
'Til ya notice me
He's right, this is an odd quirk. Nothing I've ever seen before. All Might thought to himself as he swatted away the tap dancing note on his head
If the squeaky wheel's always gettin' the grease
I'm totally devoted to disturbing the peace
And I'll do it all again, when I get done
Until I become your number one
No method to the madness, and no means of escape
Gonna break every rule of bend them all out of shape
It ain't a question of 'how', just a matter of when
You get the message that I'm tryin' to send
I'm under a spell, I'm in over my head
And you know I'm going all the way to the end
To stand out, above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out
'Til ya notice me
He even seems lost in the music….this quirk must take all his concentration or something. All Might watched Izuku as he played the song
If I could make you stop and take a look at me
Instead of jus, walkin' by
There's nothin that
I wouldn't do if it was gettin' you to notice
I'm alive
All I need is half a chance
A second thought, a second glance
To prove, I got whatever it take
It's a piece of cake
To stand out, above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna, stand out, staaaand out
Stand out
Stand out
'Til mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna stand out
'Til ya notice me
Once Izuku finished he panted softly as all the lyrics and music notes vanished, All Might let out a deep breath and rubbed his head.
"You were right, this is an odd quirk. I've never seen or heard of it. But then again, under times of stress, any quirk will manifest. What type of quirks do your parents have?" All Might asked in his curiosity.
"My mom can bring small objects towards her and from what she told me about my father, he can breathe fire. I don't know anything about him though, as he's been out of the picture my whole life." Izuku explained and All Might frowned.
"Huh….well to answer your question, I think I'll be able to train you to be able to fight. Can't always rely on your music now can you? But not now. I need to get the sludge monster to the police."
"Ah! Right, of course! Sorry!" Izuku sputtered out an apology that All Might waved off as he left.
"Alright, lets get you to the station." All Might said as he reached to his pocket and stopped for a second when he felt it wasn't there and panicked as he ran back to where Izuku was when he heard an explosion.
"My boy….I think you holding onto me may have released the villain." All Might said with a gulp while Midoriya panicked and apologized more before they both ran to where the explosion came from. Once Midoriya saw wha was happening and saw Bakugo there, he froze and thought to leave him for a minute, as a bit of payback before seeing that the other heroes weren't doing anything as their powers weren't right for the situation. And All Might can't fight because I wasted his time! He was panicking slightly before he realized that he was running towards the danger and threw his backpack at the monster's eye, giving Bakugo a little breathing time, broke out his guitar and started playing a random guitar solo. Everyone watched as the notes attacked the sludge but did nothing to help the situation.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE DEKU?!" Bakugo yelled out as he could finally breathe again.
"SAVING YOUR STUPID ASS, WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE ASSHOLE?!" Midoriya yelled back as he tried increasing the music, but it still didn't help the situation.
"And I'm done playing with you!" The villain said as he brought down a fist to kill Izuku with before it stopped as All Might entered the scene again, in his powered form.
"I really am pathetic. If I have to watch a once quirkless boy try and save someone. DETROIT SMASH!" All Might yelled out, punching straight in the air, causing the villain to deform and disperse after All Might grabbed Izuku and Bakugo and somehow changed the weather with his punch. After that Midoriya was told off for using his quirk without permission and for acting so recklessly while Bakugo was praised for holding it together for so long. Later one while Midoriya was walking home, while texting Kyoka about his day, he heard Bakugo shout his name.
"DEKU! I didn't ask for your help or anything like that. So never come to help me again or else I'll kill you. Now fuck off and leave me alone." Lord Explosion Murder yelled out before storming off.
"You didn't ask for my help sure, but you sure as fucking hell needed it you dick wad." Deku said with a growl as he walked off.
"I AM HERE!" All Might suddenly appeared causing Izuku to nearly drop his phone with another scream of shock.
"All Might?! I thought you were being interview for taking down the sludge monster!"
All Might let out a booming laugh before saying "I fight for justice, not sound bites!" He was going to continue before he ended up turning into his skeletal form while spitting out blood, causing Deku to scream in shock once again. "Young man, I came here to thank you and also discuss your question about me training you. There are stories about every hero. How their bodies moved before they had a chance to think, almost on their own. You too can become a hero….and I will help you by training you to get yourself in shape and even inherit my quirk."
"Huh?" Deku stopped crying and looked up in confusion when he heard that and stared at All Might, dumbfounded and confused what he meant by inheriting his quirk.
