Dan opened his eyes and saw white. Sitting up he automatically looked around and saw nothing but white surrounding him. He saw that he was no longer bleeding. No longer feeling any kind of pain. Then a calming voice from the past grabs his attention.

"Well Hey there stranger." Dan turned to face a pair of blue eyes and a gentle smile. Followed by a familiar blonde hair "M-Matilda?" He was instantly hit with emotion but one thought instantly came to mind.

"A-Am I dead?" She looks up thinking about it "Hmm yes and no. You are technically dead but you won't be for long. Thanks to your quirk and people back on Earth trying to save you." Dan was disappointed to hear that it was obvious to see on his face "I don't wanna go back Mat. I wanna stay with you..." she reaches out and holds his hand "But you can't stay Danny. It's not your time yet." Tears began to fill his eyes "It wasn't your time either that day... I failed to be the hero you thought I was. I lost you because I wasn't good enough. I couldn't even give you my quirk to save you."

Matilda sighs and pulls herself closer to Dan "I wasn't able to tell you this but you can pass on your quirk to another. I just chose not to take your quirk" He looked up at her in surprise "what? Why?" She smiles "Because it's your quirk. It's your dream to be a hero and help people. I didn't wanna take that dream from you. And I already achieved my dream."

Dan sighs "I'm ashamed to say I never asked you what it was." "My dream Dan. Was to fall in love with you. And I achieved that and wouldn't change anything except one thing. Which is the guilt you carried all this time."

Matilda rested her head on Dans shoulder "I know it doesn't seem like it Danny but the sun will shine again. Although I'm not with you. You will love again. And you will be the hero I know you will be in my heart"

Dan sniffs and wipes his nose "You always knew what to say to me Matilda." She chuckles as he put his arm around her. "Although I don't think I can love again..." she looks up at him "You will Danny. I know you. And who knows you may have meet them already?"

Dan gave her a look "You Know something I don't." She giggles at his statement "maybe... but that's for me to know." Dan rolls his eyes but then feels a slight pain in his chest "ouch. That really hurts." She sits up letting go of him "It's time Danny" he looks up at her wide eyed "No... no I need more time. I don't wanna leave you." She cups his face "It's okay Dan." He begins to tear up again not able to control himself "I miss you so much... I love you."

"And I love you." She leans in and lightly presses her lips to his and the kiss each other as the white light surrounding them fades.

Hospital

A groan escapes Dans lips as he opens his eyes and looks around finding himself alone in a hospital room. At least that's what he thought. "Good to see your awake Dan" Dan looks around for the voice but struggles to find the owner "I must be going mad"

"No you're not." A white ball of fluff climbs into the seat beside him wearing a suit "We unfortunately didn't have a chance for proper introductions at the charity event but I'm Principal Nazu of UA."

Dan simply went wide eyed staring what the fuck? That little rodent is the head of the biggest hero school in Japan? He's thoughts were interrupted by Nazu as he continued to speak "Despite their injuries, All Might and Izuku Midoriya applied first aid to your injures and got you to the hospital in time. They were also admitted and were released a few days ago."

Dan blinked "wait... a few days. Sir how long have I been out?" Nazu simply smiled in thought "Oh about a week." What the hell. I've been knocked out for a week. But... talking to Matilda only felt like a few minutes. His mind was trying to process everything but one question quickly came to mind "Mr Nazu... what happened to Victoria?" Nazu looked up puzzled for a moment "Victoria?... oh the villain known as Doctor Vixen. Well she sustained far worse injuries then you but quickly recovered and is now in custody at Tartarus prison."

Dan nodded somewhat relieved at the fact she was still alive and not in a position to harm anyone.

"Now Dan as much I wish I was here to check on your health. I'm in fact here for a different reason." Dan attempted to sit up to face the little mouse properly "Okay. Why are you really here then?" "Well you took on Mr Midoriya as a form of student thanks to our exchange program. Miss Tsuyu was in Brazil with a similar situation. Both countries didn't have a UA school there" Dan tilted his head curiously "okay?" "Basically Midoriya and tsuyu were trails for the school board to see if it's worth the effort to expand to these countries. And thanks to your training with Mr Midoriya the board has seen it fit to begin construction at both Australia and Brazil. But they will need teachers there." Dan cracked his neck out of habit beginning to piece together where Nazu was leading with this "So you want me to be a teacher for the Australian Branch?" Nazu nodded "In the long run yes but you only have experience teaching one student. I'd like you to become a faculty member with my school to gain experience with multiple students and understand what to look for in a school education. If all goes well you'll be running the Australian branch."

Dans face was blank. I was nearly dead a few days ago and this rat expects me to run a fucking school? I didn't teach Midoriya anything. I just made the kid work and train. Once again his thoughts were interrupted by Nazu "I understand you need time to think this other and still need time to heal. So you can do both together. When you wish to discuss this more come by my office at UA"

Without a goodbye Nazu hopped off the chair and casually exited the room. Dan was left alone with his thoughts. He remained alone for sometime until a new visitor came in with blinding speed "I AM HERE RUNNING THROUGH THE HOSPITAL LIKE A HE.." suddenly a puff cloud appeared and the once muscular man was now a skeleton having a coughing fit. Dan simply tapped his fingers on the bed waiting for the bloody coughing to end "Good to see you to blondie." All Might wipes his mouth and sits beside Dan "So did your power stay?" All Might shook his head "No it drained from me the moment I landed my last smash. So my original thought process was correct in assuming Eri only gave me limited time back with One For All." Dan nodded kinda disappointed that the symbol of peace couldn't make a grab come back. "So who's the kid?" All Might laid back in his seat "He's doing well. I think him and his mother are gonna come by to check on you this afternoon" Dans ears sat up a little hearing that "I-Inko is coming to see me?" The way he asked grabbed All Mights attention "... yeah she is. With Young Midoriya." Dan simply nodded ignoring the increase of his heart rate. Why am I feeling like this. I only just meet her. Why do I care she's visiting me. She's Dekus mom that's it. She's nothing special to me at all... is she?

All Might simply stared and coughed "Sounds like you're over thinking this whole visiting thing.." Dan looked up at All Might "wha? Oh sorry. Been a weird day. Nazu visited me earlier" "To talk to you about the teaching position here right?" Dan raised a brow at all Might "... yeah. How'd you know." "Because it was my idea." All Might said bluntly "Your idea? Why though?" All Might adjust himself to get more comfortable "Because you got great instinct on how to help people reach there potential. Midoriya is a grand example for that. You've helped that boy achieve more with power I gave him then I did. Imagine what you could with a whole class of future hero's. They'll begin their journey thinking the sky is the limit and you'll push them beyond the sky and above. "

Dan Smiled and naturally his Aussie attitude kicked in "How long did it take you to write up that speech?" All Might rubs the back of his neck. A nervous tick he's convinced he got off young Midoriya "actually i more or less thought it up on the spot." Dan nodded impressed "You sure you don't have an inspirational speech quirk. Cause with the shit that fly's out of your mouth is insane." All Might brushed off the odd compliment. He stayed around a bit longer explaining to Dan how the school is temporarily closed for the week while the police investigate the school for a possible leak. The league of villains has always been finding out about top secret plans that the UA staff trying to keep under wraps but they always seem to find out. With the attack at the charity event was the final straw and the police had begun there investigations immediately after arresting vixen.

All Might had to leave since it was his turn to be interviewed by police about what happened. He informed they'll talk to Dan when they feel he's ready to talk.

Now Dan laid back once again alone. He day dreamed about his death experience... or was it just a dream. He didn't know Honestly. Then his mind wondered over to the Green haired family that was going to visit him. Young Izuku his young trainee and Inko. Izukus beautiful mother... Why did I just think she was beautiful?!
