It felt like the world had stopped and everything turned cold when I saw him standing in front of me. Why of all places was he here?

His eyes were red as if he had been crying. He was pale and looked depressed. Despite his appearance, I kept asking myself that one question; why was he here?

"M?"

Kurogiri had called me. I had stayed quiet the moment he walked into the room and introduced himself. I don't know if my face showed it but I was crushed. What had happened to this to happen right here?

"I'm sorry. I was… in my mind… thinking." I made up an excuse.

"It's alright." Said my client with a pathetic voice. My chest hurt so much. I wanted to get up from my seat and hug him and tell him whatever it was, it will be fine. But if I did that now I might put him in danger.

"So… um… why did you come here again?" I asked.

"I… was wondering… if you could fulfill my request?" He repeated himself.

"What is your request?"

He didn't want to look me in the eye, but after sighing he told me.

"Could you just end my life?"

I thought I couldn't breathe. Why would he ask that? What is going on? What has happened to him?

"Why do you ask that?" I asked.

"I had enough. My dreams were shattered as my hero told me the cold painful truth. I thought of doing something else and following an alternative way for my dream, but… I… I've been bullied in my class harder than ever. They mocked before but now… it's unbearable." He explained with a broken voice. I had kept my poker face through his words till now. But I was reaching my limit. I had a little notepad I used to take notes of my clients. I quietly hid it under my seat before I faced Kurogiri.

"Could you bring me my notes?" I asked him.

"You didn't bring it with you?" He wondered.

"I wouldn't be asking if I did. It might in my room. Could you get it for me?" I said. Kurogiri didn't seem eager to go. He did have orders to keep an eye on me. But I had to send him away so he won't hear my conversation.

"Go. I'll be here when you get back. I need it to go through my assets." I hurried him. Finally, he left leaving me alone with my client. The moment he disappeared I got up from my seat and went to my client and bend down so my eyes were on the same level as his eyes

"What happened to you for you to wish your own end?" I asked with sorrow.

"I told you, I've been bullied by my schoolmates…" He explained.

"No. Not that. You said that you've been bullied before but now your dreams are shattered, what happened?" I asked.

"I met my hero. He told me, that I can't do it. Hearing it from him… it put an end to my dreams." He said heartbroken.

"That's all he said?" I asked.

"Yes. After that, I went home. And after that, the days just lost their meaning." He told me.

"Did anything else happen?" I asked.

"No. As I said I went home. I did meet my schoolmates on the way home but they just made fun of me as always." He said. This was not happening. It didn't make sense. Why? Why did it change? I cupped his face with my hands and made him look at me.

"Listen carefully. I… I don't want to put an end to your young life. There are so many things you can do. Just because people say you can't do it isn't a reason to give up. I… I won't help you to kill yourself… but I could make you disappear." I said to him.

"What would I do then? I'm nobody. I can't do anything." He was close to crying.

"Wrong. You can be anything. It starts with you getting a chance. If no one else is going to give it to you then I will." I said as I got up. Right then Kurogiri ported back to the room. He had a piece of paper and a pen with him.

"I couldn't find your notes, but I brought you these so you can make notes and later pass them on your notepad." He said and passed me the paper and pen. I took them and placed them on a table nearby. I faced my client with a serious look.

"Listen, this will be my offer. I will make you disappear, but not by killing you. I will fake your death. And in return, you'll work for me. In a way, your life belongs to me. And I will help you prove to everyone that that dream of yours wasn't an illusion. You can make it real." I said to him.

He looked at me with teary eyes. I saw light sparking inside them. I didn't want him to get involved in this side of the world, but it was already too late. Kurogiri looked at me as he had no idea what happened. But since the business was finished he was content with that. I sent my client back home and told him to wait for the right time. He should have time to set up his own businesses. I actually also hoped that he would change his mind, but if he didn't then I would have to become his guide of light… in the dark.

"He seemed like a nice boy," Kurogiri commented.

"Shut up. Let's end for tonight." I hissed.

"I'm sure he would make a great asset to you. I think I saw his eyes light up before he left. What was his name again?" He asked.

I froze there before I took the handle of the door. It hurt my chest and I was ready to rush to my room and burst into tears. But the words simply left my mouth as I realized the cold truth.

"Izuku Midoriya. His name is Izuku Midoriya.",


So much for my plan of leaving and living in hiding. I stood at the sidewalk of Dagota Beach watching as Izuku was working to clean the beach of all the garbage lying around. I had a plastic bag with several drinks and two sandwiches, which were ordered by All Might. He had made a training plan for Izuku so he could become a proper vessel for the quirk One for All. Why was I here? It all happened the same day All Might recognized Izuku as his successor.

FLASHBACK*

"Jane Doe, I presume."

Why was he standing there and not talking with Izuku? Wait, where is Izuku? I looked past the fence and saw that Izuku had left. Was that a good thing? Nevertheless, I shouldn't be here talking with All Might. Maybe I should run as awkward as that is, it was better than staying and making ridiculous excuses.

I was about to sprint away, but Mr. Yagi grabbed my arm and the getaway ended there. Who knew that even in his smaller form he had a firm grip and strength to keep me from running. Or maybe it was me who wasn't strong.

"Planning to run away, again?" He asked. Yes. That was my plan. But it seems that it won't be happening.

"Um, would you let go?" I tried asking nicely.

"Nope. You might run again." He said and pulled me closer so I would face him properly. He was taller than me. Even in his weakened state. Just a little. Looks like I had no option, so I sighed and looked at his face.

"What do you want to know?" I asked.

"Let's start with your real name." He suggested.

"Nope. Anything but that." I said bluntly. And please, do not ask about my past. That is something no one should know.

"You want me to keep calling you Jane Doe?" He asked.

"I don't care. Izuku calls me Nee-san or artist-neesan. People call me many things so… I really don't care." I said.

"Well, where do you live?" He asked.

"Right now or most of the time?" I asked specifically.

"What?"

"If you mean most of the time then there is a little rundown motel some way from here. Right now, I might sleep somewhere near Dagota beach. There are small cracks at the east side of the rocks that work as caves…" I explained.

"You live on the streets?" He exclaimed. He looked worried. That was sweet of him, but it really wasn't that bad. I did sleep more in the motel during winter and rainy days, but otherwise outdoor "camping" was nice. And Izuku showed me this affordable public bathhouse, so I had no worries about the lack of hygiene.

"How long have you lived like this?" He asked worriedly.

"Since we last met," I answered straight. His face seemed sad and hurt. Maybe he was pitying me. Still, I didn't mean to meet with him again. Because he would worry about it.

He didn't say anything else, instead, he pulled me with him as he began to walk.

"Hey, where are you going?" I asked as I was suddenly forced to walk with him.

"Just follow me." He said. After pulling me along and walking a good time, it began to get dark. It was then that he finally stopped. Right in front of a nice apartment complexion.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"At my place." He said. I thought that the number one hero would have more luxurious lodging. And why was he bringing me here? I didn't get to voice my concerns when we already stood in front of his apartment's entrance.

"Make yourself at home." He said as he walked in. Unlike other Japanese people, he kept his shoes on inside the house. But that wasn't what I was interested in.

"Why bring me here?" I asked a bit angrily than I intended.

"So you won't sleep on the streets." He said and went to the kitchen. "Tea?"

"No thanks. And I told you I sleep at a motel when the weather isn't nasty. Not on the street." I tried to convince him.

"How do you make a living?" He asked with worry.

"If you must know I make street art. And yes, people actually buy those things." I answered.

"Enough to sleep in a motel?" He confirmed with a question.

"Yes."

Please don't ask about food. Please don't ask about food.

"And your meals?"

Aw dammit. I'm the worst liar. If I speak half-truth then I can pass. But actual lie, even a blind person could see through it.

"I'm on a diet." I tried.

He looked like he didn't believe me. Instead of saying anything, he sighed before he showed me where were the kitchen and the bathroom.

"You can sleep in my room. I'll sleep on the couch." He saipointinged to the door that led to his room.

"Hold on, I haven't agreed to anything yet." I protested.

"Got a place to stay tonight?" He asked.

"Ye… No." I tried to say yes but his look just demanded the truth.

"You stay here from now on. I'm mostly out so you can have the place to yourself." He said and got himself another cover and pillow to sleep on the couch.

When I was left alone in his room, I took a moment to look around and analyze my situation. His room was very plain. No pictures on the wall, no plants, and barely a rug on the floor. Then again, why am I here? Is it his custom to pick up strays? I should give him a lecture tomorrow. Instead of sleeping on the bed I went to a corner of the room and laid down on the floor. It had become my policy not to get used to comfortable things because those are the first things you'll miss when you have to leave. I recalled how hard it was to leave the condo of Hikaru. Her apartment was small but it was comfy for me and her. The first thing I missed was the couch which was my bed. But now that she and her brother are gone, there was no use in staying.

As I lay down on the floor, I recalled the things that happened today. Izuku was recognized as a successor to All Might's power. That means that everything will be fine now. Remembering that made me cry a little from relief. Soon sleep won me over and I began to slumber in my dreams.

I didn't notice it, but after an hour or two, All Might entered the room. He needed extra clothes so he didn't need to wake me up in the morning. Once he saw me sleep on the floor, he sighed and took the cover from the bed, and placed it on top of me. As he tucked me in, he saw a tear that had strayed from my little cry. He wiped it away before he leaned down on me.

"I'm doing this because I can't bear to see you cry again." He whispered before he got up and left me to sleep.

FLASHBACK ENDS*

I don't know why but for some reason I have now stayed at All Might's place for the entire month now. He even gave me the key. I did give him the lecture about not bringing strangers to his house like this but he just said that we already knew each other. I quickly learned that I had no option in this discussion. Instead of staying at his place all day, I came to see and help with Izuku's training. Izuku was first surprised to see that I already knew All might when he was in his weakened state. I didn't tell him how we met, and I wasn't going to tell him where I stayed now.

I did agree however to train myself on the process. Besides bringing the proper nutrition, I also ran with Izuku the same laps he did for training. The program was hard, but I knew that I need to get back the strength I used to have before going into a coma. It wasn't my plan but so far everything was going smoothly.


Many of you would be asking "What the...!"

Again two timelines appear in the same chapter.

In the previous timeline where things go bad, Izuku became a villain. I have read many Izuku-villain stories and I got moved by them how easy it would have been for Izuku to become a villain, which is why it was easy for Jane to mess things up in the previous timeline.

And as for Jane's real name... It's actually Sarah. But since she wants to hide now from All for One, she refers to herself as Jane. Or mostly Toshinori calls her that since that's the only name he got.
