Arclight001:Thank you. I'm glad you think so
Now, onto the special. This is dark. You find out who Noah exactly is, specifically who he is related to.
It was an average day at UA. All Might was teaching his Foundational Hero Studies class when a pink hand shot into the air. He paused his lecture. "Yes Young Ashido?"
"All Might-sensei? How did you meet Noah?" Mina asked. "Not that you have to tell us, it's just that we are still curious how you popped up with a child one day and stated that he is your son. It's kinda weird"
All Might sighed. "Young Ashido, you're right. I hoped it would be later before you asked, but it's time to know the truth"
Flashback, the Kamino Incident
Kamino Ward
It was over. All For One lay defeated at the hands of All Might. AFO was being shackled when he woke up. He looked at All Might and grinned dementedly.
"You may have won this battle, but I made you break a promise. You didn't save everyone. In the warehouse is a child. You probably killed them. And to boot, the child is the son of Tomura, the great grandson of Nana Shimura." AFO told All Might and laughed as All Might fell to his knees, looking like his very core was shaken.
"I...I...I k-killed N-Nana's descendant? I killed Nana's descendant?!" *he cried out, tears leaking from his eyes. "I-It c-can't be!"
Gran Torino approached the defeated looking All Might, his head hung low. "Toshi, it's not your fault. It's mine for not checking. You shouldn't blame yourself" He spoke in a low, hushed tone.
"It is! I saw the woman, but I failed to save the last remnant of Nana! Damn you All For One!" All Might cried out into the night.
All was silent for a moment, until… "I hear something! Over here!" The voice of the lone male Pussycat, Tiger, rang out. All Might looked up as Gran Torino rushed over and gasped. All Might approached, a little scared of what he would find. After getting Kamui Woods, Endeavor, and Tiger to clear debris blocking a door, the master and apprentice duo walked down into the underground of the destroyed warehouse. Debris was scattered, but a shrill cry echoed out in the eerie silence. They rushed to the sound, finding a damaged room with a crying kid in the corner.
The duo looked at each other, unsure of what to do. All Might called out. "Hello Young one! No need to fear, because I am here!" The child jumped and tried to get even smaller. All Might frowned, unsure of how to handle the situation. He approached the child slowly, holding his hands out in a peaceful manner. "What's wrong young one? We're here to help"
The child curled into a tight ball, shaking. "Th-the bad man s-says to not t-talk to st-stwangews. The bad man h-huwt me if I don' be good. P-please d-don' tell bad man I speaked. D-Daddy w-would h-huwt me wowse" The child curled up even tighter.
Gran Torino gave a low growl, just low enough that the child didn't hear. All Might wore a sympathetic look, his hands still held out. "Don't worry Young one. The bad man's gone. I made sure of it" The child looked up, his eyes full of hope. "I made sure he went away to a place for him. How about we leave?" The child gave a very small nod. "Is it okay if I pick you up?" Another tiny nod. All Might picked the small child up and noticed several alarming things. The first was the dried line of red going down the child's head. The second was the state of him. He was small, even for his age. He was thin like a stick, his ribs showing. He also had several marks on his body, ones that would stay there.
"Gran Torino, give me your cape. The Young one needs something to cover him" Torino nodded and tore his cape off, handing it to Toshinori. Toshi handed it to the child. The child wrapped it around himself, making sure to cover his face. All Might raised an eyebrow but didn't comment on it. "We didn't introduce ourselves. My name is All Might, and he is Gran Torino. What's your name Young one? And how old are you, if you don't mind telling me." All Might tenderly asked
The child pressed his face into All Might and raised a hand with all five fingers outstretched. "Five?" All Might asked. The child nodded, his face still buried in the deflated man's chest. "What's your name?" The child pointed to a board, the name 'Noah' written on it. "Noah?" Another nod. "Okay Young Noah, let's go." They walked past what looked like a crushed cage.
The duo turned trio walked out, All Might setting Noah down in the ambulance, coughing up blood. Noah held onto All Might's hand like a lifeline, seemingly scared to let go. All Might gave a small smile to him and sat beside him, both heading to the hospital.
Later, at the hospital
We find All Might, all bandaged up, standing next to a bandaged Gran Torino standing outside a door. All Might walked in, seeing the young child he saved earlier lying in bed, gauze wrapped around his head. The child saw them and tried to get out of bed, only to have them rush to his side, keeping him from getting out of bed.
"How are you doing Young Noah? Are you doing better?" The young child nodded and grabbed the hand of All Might. He pulled it close and hugged it.
"Th-Thank y-you" The boy whispered, barely being heard above the heart rate monitor. "S-sir, c-can I l-leave? I-it's sc-scary h-here"
All might sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry Young Noah, but you can't leave. So, can you tell me about yourself? Have you been anywhere? Do you know who your mother is? Do you have a quirk? If so, what is it?"
Noah stayed silent for a few minutes before answering him. "Y-yes. I h-have b-been t-to the US. I d-don't h-have a m-mother. F-Father s-said she r-ran away, c-cuz I w-was ugly." he started crying, only to stop when All Might hugged him. "And I d-do h-have a q-quirk" All Might nodded and patted the boy's head.
"You're a brave child Young Noah. You have been through a horrible ordeal, one that most people will never experience. One nobody should. You were even braver than most pro heroes"
There was a knock at the door before a doctor and a detective walked in. "He is being discharged." The doctor left as the detective sighed. "We will call the orphanage to let them know they will have another one soon. We think he may have a mother, but from what he said, we doubt she'd take too kindly to having him. We think she may have been sexually assaulted given who the father is. This whole thing is a mess"
All Might stood up. "No need for that Tsukauchi. I will take him in. He has been through a bad experience and needs support. Besides, I think he has grown on me and I on him. How about we ask the child since it's his decision? Noah, do you wish to live with me or go to the orphanage with the nice detective?" The child hugged All Might's hand tighter. "Okay, what if I adopted you? Would you like that?" The child nodded one more, drawing a smile from the former hero. "Okay. From this day on, you are now Noah Yagi, my son. You may call me Yagi, Toshi, All Might, or Dad. It's your choice Young Noah"
Noah nuzzled the hand and whispered a word, one word that brought tears to the eyes of the former symbol of peace. "D-Dad"
"Now, let's go home, shall we? Can you walk?" Noah nodded and sat up, getting off the bed while still holding his hand. The two walked out, one smiling like a loon, the other shaking slightly.
