Izuku woke up in a hospital, his head hurt but in the split second he wondered if he was back there.
Seven years ago the white room, all the tubes connected to him and the breathing unit down his throat. The beeping and the mass of large people walking around him checking machines and talking to him in numb unheard voices. He was scared to open his eyes. He squeezes his hand, there was a heart monitor bit on his finger and a wrap around him checking his blood pressure. He wasn't in THAT room for sure. It was going to be okay, he knew he was better. But he was just so terrified of being sick again.
The boy opens his eyes to find his mum sitting next to him holding his hand. The room was a basic hospital room. Two basic plastic chairs, a window letting in light behind him. He was changed into a hospital robe and was hooked to mild monitors checking him. Two drips ran into his arms. A bag sat on the lone chair with his crutches and leg braces resting on them.
"Hey baby." She smiles at him, snapping away his own anxiety, but not helping with her own anxious look playing through her face. His memory flashes to the last time he was awake. He met All Might, his heart was crushed and he. He of all people tried to be a hero!
Izuku groans and tries to sit up. Inko's shoulders jumped. "You stay down baby." She soothed, pressing her hand to his chest. Not willing to fight, Izuku laid down. He can't believe he actually tried to run, he could barely walk without his crutches and yet he tried to...run.
"I'm going to get a doctor now that you're awake." Inko said, squeezing his hand and walking out. Izuku nodded and leaned into the bed.
"Izuku. Been awhile." A male voice greeted, walking into the room. Izuku looked up and saw a tall green skinned doctor, who helped treat him years ago. He had a gentle soft face and was everything as a supportive doctor but Izuku hated seeing his face. Too many memories he wanted to forget. The smells, the feelings. The...His stomach rolled around, he really wanted to get out. The doctor sat down, with a disappointed look ran.
"Heard you ran on your legs...Izuku..." His disappointment was horrible, for a second, time seemed to stop. Izuku was waiting for him to say. 'You'll never walk again' and his hopes and dreams would disappear twice in one day. He would never be a hero and he'll never walk. -"The damage was severe.-" Reality snapped back, pulling Izuku back to the real world. "-But you should be able to walk again. Given time, be back in those." He smiles, patting the boys back, and pointing towards the braces sitting next to him. Izuku nodded and realised he was death gripping his blankets. He let go, letting his muscles recoil. "You're on a really heavy morphine dosage right now for the pain and you'll be in the hospital for about a week." The doctor explained.
The rest of talking Izuku drained out, he really didn't care. Another week in the hospital. No. He just wanted to see All Might. and Kacchan, make sure he was okay.
Why did he even want to see All Might again, a man like that? Just another man who gave him pity and knew he would never be a hero...
On the third day of being in the hospital Izuku had a visitor, it wasn't his mum, who was there at every minute of visiting hours or his father- not that Izuku ever expected him to fly home from work for him-. But a man, a man who looked like death itself. He had gaunt features and bones that stuck out. Pale skin and fly out hair. It was All Might...
Izuku sat up on the bed. Was he really here for him?
"Young man." All Might says softly.
"What is it?" Deku asks quickly, excited. the older man had a glint and a smile in his eyes. Izuku frowned, he was happy, but curious.
"I told you, you cannot be a hero. Because I didn't think you had the power and the will to go the distant in your body." He has a softness in his tone. Izuku listened, intrigued what he was taking about. "I was wrong, I apologise for that. You have the heart and the power to go the distance."
"I met a boy who could barely walk, who told me was disabled. Then I met a boy, who despite what he couldn't do tried to push further than he ever could go. He went plus ultra."
Izuku looks at him, a smiling. Was All Might the one man, who he really loved. Giving him a chance?
"My legs won't let me." He says softly, looking at the hero. As much as wanted to believe this was real. He was confused on how.
"You know David Shield?" All Might asks, as if reading his mind. Deku jumped and nodded.
"Of course! He's a leading scientist who works on iIsland! He made all your hero suits and..." The fanboy says quickly grinning. His mouth slipped and words suddenly came out.
"He can make you braces to let you be a hero." All Might whispers. Izuku stops and looks at the hero.
"Rea..really?" He asks. Of course! David Shield could make anything! Izuku was almost sure that genius could build a time machine, if it helped a hero.
"I...I talked him the past few days about you, we both believe you. You can be a hero young man...I... uh I never got your name..." He mumbles, going red.
Izuku smiles. "Izuku Midoriya!" He jumps. He could be a hero?
"Are you sure these braces would work?" It wasn't that he didn't trust Mr Shield but...the look on All Might's face, just took the young boys heart he grinned. He could be a hero!
"Yes Izuku Midoriya you can be a hero!" All Might says, lifting up his hand in an air punch.
After everything the world through at him, nothing would stop Izuku Midoriya from being a hero!
Wow imagine if he was born quirkless...wouldn't that make harder for him.
