(Warning, this is the chapter I warned you about a few chapters prior. Just BEAR with me, you'll see what I'm planning/doing by next chapter.)

(The Next Day)

"19 counts of kidnapping, one count of murder, one count of quirk theft, causing multiple riots, and being the leader of the most wanted criminal organization in all of japan." Tsukauchi sighed as he finished going over everything Deku would be charged with, before starring at the young boy that sat across from in. Deku merely smiled, hands clasped together on the table with anti-quirk handcuffs on his wrists. "You do realize this is enough to lock you up for life, correct?"

"I realize you're missing a few murders, but yes, I'm aware."

Tsukauchi raised an eyebrow, as did All Might and two other officers, who were standing on the other side of the one-way glass.

"Eyewitness reports state you killed a fellow member right in front of them. The villain went by the name 'Muatard'." Tsukauchi stated, pulling out and placing a picture of Mustards dead body in front of Deku. "We found his body washed up on Dagobah Municipal Beach. What other murders are you referring to?"

"In my time as leader of the League, I have killed a total of four people. The first was a villain known as All For One, who was All Might's nemesis and former leader of the League. After All Might killed his successor, he wanted to begin attacking and killing civilians in retaliation, but I killed him before he could. I have never wanted to harm civilians." Deku informed seriously. "The second was a villain known as Muscular, who killed the former pro hero team Water Hose. A friend of the Leagues had brought him as a recruit, but he challenged me to a fight to the death. I ended up cutting his head off."

"The third was a villain known as Overhaul, who was the leader of another villain group. A member of my League brought him to me in order for us to strike up a deal and partner up. He ended up killing a member of the League, who went by the name Magne. We fought, and I was quick to kill him and the protection detail he had brought with him. Mustard was the final one I killed. He disobeyed me and ended up harming the maids and butlers that worked for Momo Yaoyorozu and her parents when I sent him to capture her."

"Why would you tell me all of this?"

"I'm being sent away for life, aren't I? No point in keeping them a secret. Besides, it's finally seeing myself stop more villains than the heroes everyone trust. Or trusted, that is. I've heard my video has done a lot of damages to the hero's reputations, as well as the reputation of the police, government, and UA."

It was true, everyone Deku had exposed had taken a hit reputation wise. Riots broke out, and places like UA and Bakugo's house had been vandalized. It got so bad the Bakugo family had to be put into witness protection for the time being.

"Why did you show that? Do you know how much damage you've caused?!"

"I did it to expose those who shouldn't be hero's, and to recruit those who want to help me fix this broken society." Was his simple response. Tsukauchi sighed, before standing up from his seat.

"Well, enjoy these last few moments you have. You're about to be sent to Tartsrus for the rest of your life."

"Excellent, we no longer need him." Tsukauchi whipped around, his eyes wide as he stared at Deku.

"Need who?"

"Need him of course. He is of no longer use to us if he's being sent to prison to life." Deku responded, looking straight at the glass instead of Tsukauchi.

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you really believe that a mere teenager could do all of this on his own? We've been using him as a puppet in order to get rid of All Might, All For One and Overhaul, in order to pave the way for us to take over. Not he's of no use to us." Deku'e eyes rolled into the back of his head, before he fell over and hit the ground.

Two paramedics, who were called by the other officers, were quick to enter the room and secure Deku.

(Hospital: 1 hour later)

All Might and Tsukauchi were currently in Deku's hospital room with a doctor, a regular looking man in his late 50s with short gray hair, green eyes, and pale skin.

"After doing a full body CT scan, we were able to find this chip implanted into the child's head." The doctor informed, holding up a plastic container that held an electronic chip. "I was able to use my Permeation quirk to reach inside and remove it."

"Thank you for telling us Doctor Togata. We appreciate you tell us this." All Might thanked.

"That's…not all, Mr. All." Doctor Togata stated, confusing the two. "The chip seems to have been made in the US, so I'll be handling it over to the police so you can further investigate."

The US? Did an organization from the US kidnap Deku and turn him into their puppet? What was their interest in Japan?

"Then…we have this." Opening up his folder, Togata held up a picture of a brain, which had different colors on it. Orange, red, dark blue, light blue, and green. An area, however, had absolutely no color, and the green was barley nonexistent. "The dark blue is his Delta waves, orange is his Beta, red is Gamma, light blue is Theta, and the green is Alpha. The clear area is supposed to be pink, which would be his Quirka waves, but it's not there. And the green is supposed to be his memories, but it's very dull and almost gone."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that not only does he not have any memory of what has happened, it also means he's lost his quirk. He's completely quirkless." Doctor Togata informed. "I'll leave the two of you with that information. Detective Tsukauchi, come see me once you're ready to leave and I'll hand this the chip."

"Thank you Doctor Togata." With a nod the doctor left, leaving the two adults to think over what he had just mentioned. "Quirkless and loss of memory? This kid can't catch a break."

"Will…Will he still be sent to Tartsrus? Since he was being controlled, has no memory, and no quirk, he's no longer a threat."

"That's a good question for an odd situation." Tsukauchi stated, rubbing the back of his head. "I suppose it's up to you. Think it over and talk about it with the president, you know the kid more than I do."

"Thank you my friend." With a nod the detective left, leaving All Might alone.

Well, what to do? The kid now basically had a clean slate if everything the doctor had informed him about was true. But he had no quirk, no memory, no family, and no where to go. He was 15 years old, which meant he would go to an orphanage and probably wouldn't be adopted since teenagers rarely, if ever, got adopted. He'd be there for three years before getting kicked out.

Maybe…Maybe he could help him? Give him a new life with a new purpose, a new love for hero's…maybe even a new quirk? He had enough embers of OFA left to pass it down to a new user…what was he to do?

"Um, excuse me?" Deku, no, Midoriya spoke up, startling All Might. Turning around, he noticed how confused he looked while starring back at him. "Who are you? And what am I doing here?"

"Uh, those are good questions, young Midoriya. You see-"

"And how do you know my name?"

…Shit! How did he know him?!

"I'm…a representative from UA! You were attacked by a villain close to the campus and some of the faculty saved you. We were quite worried about you, so I came to check on you."

Solid excuse and, not a total lie. He did work at UA and he was worried about Izuku.

"O-Oh! Ok, sorry, I'm having trouble remembering what's happened."

"What's the last thing you remember, young Midoriya?"

"Umm…I don't know? It's really fuzzy. I remember bits and pieces of my time in school, some of my early childhood, and…that's it."

Ok, good. He didn't remember being a villain or meeting All For One…right?

"Does the name All For One ring any bells?"

"No…it is supposed to?"

Excellent!

"No no, just asking." All Might coughed in his hand, hoping to change subjects. "Um, what's your quirk?" He asked, and was surprised when Midoriya frowned.

"I-I don't have one. I was born quirkless."

One of the reasons why he turned to villainy, the promise of a quirk.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well…UA has had some interest in you for some time…and I was hoping you would…accept my offer in attending."

He couldn't help but smile at the look of amazement of shock in the young boys eyes. He looked so genuinely happy at the offer, before frowning.

"But…But I don't have a quirk."

"Tell me, why do you want to be a hero."

"To save people of course! I wanna be just like All Might!"

It felt weird hearing him say since, ya know, the two had fought the day prior.

All Might smiled, ready to blow this kids world

(UA: Nezu's office)

"It was very dangerous of you showing Midoriya the truth All Might, and very unethical of you offering him a spot in our school and class 1A." Nezu politely scolded.

"With all due respect principal Nezu, I think I made the right call here. He has no family, no home, no memory, and no quirk. He blames me for ruining his life, so I figured…maybe I could get a do-over with him."

All Might had revealed his true form, and waited patently for 15 minutes for Izuku to calm down to explain to him about One For All. Izuku knew and accepted the risks, before accepting the power.

"You believe in redemption and rehabilitation, why is this any different?"

"Because it is neither, due to him forgetting everything! You cannot redeem or rehabilitate someone who doesn't know or remember the wrong they have done."

"Principal Nezu please, the kid needs this! He admires everyone who works here, and talked my ear off for two hours straight about all of the facts he knows about us! He loves us! Are you willing to crush his dreams much like I did?"

…Well, Nezu was in a tough spot, he realized. All Might did have some good points. Maybe they could reshape Izuku into what he wanted to be all along, a hero. Maybe they could help him achieve his dreams, maybe Nezu could go through with his dorm idea to give him, and the others, a place to stay and to protect them! It would show the media UA did care and were willing to protect their precious students.

"You're gnawing on your paw; you do that when you think! So? What's the verdict?"

"I'll allow Midoriya into UA and talk to the other teachers about it, on one condition."

"Which is?"

"You must adopt him."

…WHAT?!

"Um…excuse me?"

"You heard me. You said it yourself, Midoriya has no family and nowhere to go. As a condition for allowing him into 1A, you must adopt him and look after him until the dormitories have been built."

Adopt a child? All Might had no experience in looking after a child, let alone adopting one! Sure he had space to house Izuku until the dormitories were built, and yes he had more than enough money to keep the two fed, clothed, and entertained until then, and yes he owed it to Inko to look after and protect her child after he caused all of this, and…oh to hell with it! He was adopting an ex-criminal!

"I'll do it!"
