(Ju-Long Ryoto/ Venom Point of View)

I have been traveling the Galaxy for the past couple of millennia, sometimes with The Guardians of the Galaxy, sometimes with Caral Danvers. I have met a few of the Lantern Corps, like the; Green, Yellow, Red, and Blue.

One of the problems of being me, I can survive in the Vacuum of Space, but I can't move very well. I learned that the hard way a couple of hundred years ago. My star ship was destroyed in a Space Chase, leaving me to float for a couple of decades in Space since I was flying on a route far off the beaten trail.

Since I was in no danger, my body refused to change into a form that allowed me to fly through the Void of Space.

That was during that period of time was when "The Second Blip" happened. Annoying, to be sure, but nothing happened to me.

It took a very long time for a ship to pass me by and stop to pick me up.

Long story short, I do not travel in Space alone anymore unless I have a tracker or tracer.

I went back to Earth, knowing that most of everyone that I knew would either be dead or gone.

When I came back to Earth, the Year was 4444 AD.

(Ju-Long Ryoto/ Venom Point of View)

When we went back to Earth, everything was different!

Most people were "Mutants"!

Though they prefer to call themselves "Quirked".

Japan was a World Power, and the United States of America had decreased in power. However, they were still a global player.

I learned that there were a few more World Wars and another Dark Age.

Long story short, there was nothing the same.

Nuclear War changed the shape of the globe and the radiation made between eighty-five and ninety percent of the Global population into super-powered beings.

Quirks can be anything, from having an animal head or body to reality warping anything and everything in between.

Even the quote-unquote Quirkless people were tougher and overall hardier than the base humans from my time here on Earth.

The people seemed to have forgotten about aliens during the most recent Dark Age.

Being back on Earth brings back some memories. However, I knew that everyone I knew would be dead. Even Wolverine would be dead by now, plausibly even Superman. However, I am very convinced that their legacy would live on, even to this age.

I glared back at the muscle-headed man with blond hair and blue eyes. Then, finally, he said to me, "Do you not know that it is illegal to use your Quirk in public?!"

Venom thought to me, 'This dude is part Kryptonian, though it is very, very deluded.'

I said with an annoyed eye roll, "What are you going to do about it, tough guy?"

The man said, "I, as the Pro Hero, All Might, will bring you to Justice!"

I rolled my eyes again and said, "Boy, you do not want to mess with me. I have fought gods, demons, and aliens."

All Might looked perplexed for a split second before he opened his mouth to speak before I used my superhuman speed honed after sparring with the Flash, both Barry Allen and Wally West. Then, I blurred away, leaving him behind me.

In my wake, I left broken windows from the sonic boom.

After several moments of full-on sprinting, I stopped and looked around. I had Venom go ahead and look around as well before we found a Library.

We learned that this "All Might" fellow was a quickly rising star in the World.

I had Venom change my face and hair color before I left the Library.

(Time Skip: 35 Years)

(Ju-Long Ryoto/ Venom Point of View)

I have been on this Earth for the last thirty-five years.

I had to have someone forge me a new identity since I do not age. Then, I had her make all of my papers legal.

My Quirk was called: "Adapting Regeneration" and two "Transformations" Quirk, one for Venom and the other for my Doomsday form.

On my I.D. Cards, I was twenty-one years old. In reality, I was thousands of years old, though I doubt I will tell anyone that.

I saw a young adult trying to clean a beach.

I sighed as I jumped down from the top of the ramp, landing down next to him with a *Thud* and making him drop a microwave.

He was very, very scrawny. Not lean, not skinny, but scrawny. He had green hair and bright emerald eyes. This youth had freckles on his face, and he had brilliant white teeth.

I looked around and saw that the beach was filthy. I frowned and asked him, "You okay?"

He stuttered and said nervously, "Y-yes."

I asked him, "What is your name?"

"Midoria Izuku." He replied.

I gave him a kind smile and said, "I am Ryoto Ju-Long, but please call me Ju-Long."

Iziuku blushed heavily, making me roll my eyes as I said, "I just got back from America. Over there, they call people by their first name."

He seemed to calm down after hearing me say that.

I asked him, "What are you doing here, Midoria? Don't you have any friends?"

Izuku said, "Y-yes, I have friends." He looked around and said, "I want to clean this beach so I can get into shape."

I nodded my head and asked him, "Would you like some help?"

Izuku paused before asking me, "Why?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "You are looking lonely."

He opened his mouth and closed it a few times before sighing, "I-I guess you can help if you want, Ju-Long."

I gave him a toothy smile as I said, "Cool." Then, I asked him, "So, how do you want to clear the beach?"

Izuku paused and asked, "What is your Quik?"

"Adaptive Regeneration and I also have Transformation," I say to him, telling him a partial truth.

His eyes turned to stars as he began to ask me a few questions in a second, making me sweat drop.

I answered and said, "In my transformed state, I am nearly invulnerable due to pushing my limits. I have super; durability, strength, and speed. I can heal from almost anything." Then, I paused and said, "I also have bone claws covered in metal. Well, my entire Skeleton is made of metal."

Izuku said in awe, "That is amazing! You could be an amazing Hero!"

I chuckled and said, "I know. I plan on going to U.A University this Year… er next Year."

He said, "Me too!"

I asked him, genuinely curious, "What is your Quirk?"

He said, "Uh… it is a speed, strength, durability enhancer. Though I can't activate it yet. I can't activate it till my body is fit. Otherwise, it may cause harm to it."

I nodded my head and said, "Cool."

Venom thought to me, 'He is lying, you know… well, half lying at least.'

I gave him a mental nod, knowing he was right, but I was not going to push Izuku to answer me.

We spent several minutes talking before a Skeleton-Like man with blond hair and sunken blue eyes.

Venom thought to me, 'That there is the blond muscle head, All Might! Boy has the mighty fallen.'

I could not help but agree with my symbiote companion.

"Toshinori, how are you?" Izuku asked him.

I frowned and said slowly, "I can smell blood and an open wound."

Toshinori frowned as well as he said, "I am fine young Midoria." Then, he looked at me and asked me, "And who might you be?"

I gave him a bow and said to him, "Ryoto Ju-Long, but please call me Ju-Long."

He tilted his head in acknowledgment.

Izuku said, "Toshinori, he has offered to help me clean the beach… that is if it is okay with you."

I shrugged and said, "I do not have to. I just thought that Midoria could use a friend."

Toshinori looked me over before noticing that I had a sword on my back. He asked me, "When and where did you get that sword?"

I shrugged and said to him, "I got it from a friend when I was younger," That was a half-truth. It was made out of Carbonadium. It could slow down Healing Factors if not stop them altogether. It was well worth killing Deadpool and reforging them into a single sword. I ended up stealing Captain America's Shield when I swam to the U.S.A. Some collector had it in his basement. I used Venom to camouflage to steal the Shield and eat the collector. That was the only thing of value that I really wanted.

Toshinori asked, "Do you have any other support items?"

I paused and thought about lying to him before telling him part of the Truth, "I also have a shield. It will be part of my hero outfit."

Izuku said, "So Toshinori, is there a reason that you stopped by?"

The mand held up two paper bags of food as he said, "Lunch time." Then, he glanced at me and said, "Sorry, I did not know he had any friends coming over."

I waved him off and said, "It's fine. I am not hungry."

Izuku began to talk with the disguised form of All Might.

I sighed and said, "I will be back later. I need to go home."

Izuku frowned and said, "But you just got here?!"

I chuckled and said, "It has been two and a half hours."

Toshinori smiled and said, "I hope to see you again, Ju-Long."

I gave him a bow and said, "I do as well."

I turned on my heels and walked away from the two people.

(Time Skip: The Next Day)

(Ju-Long Ryoto/ Venom Point of View)

I left the sewers and brought MY Shield. It was a metallic grey in color. After all the paint that Steve Rodger had on it wore off long ago. I strapped it to my back over my Sword. I jogged to the beach early in the morning and took a dip in the Sea, and scrubbed myself clean.

Venom helped ensure that I did not lose or drop the Shield and Sword.

I began to clear the beach, moving slowly as I moved the heavy junk into a pile, such as Cars, Fridges, Ovens, and other heavy metal things.

About fifteen minutes later, I heard someone coming. I turned around and saw Izuku coming toward me, along with Toshinori and another man, a tall man with short black hair and somewhat rectangular black eyes. I had never seen him before.

Toshinori said once he got into talking distance, "This is detective Naomasa Tsukauchi."

I bowed before him and said, "Pleasure to meet you, detective."

The detective said, "I would like to ask you a few questions."

I sighed and said, "Go ahead."

"Where did you get the Sword and Shield?" He asked.

"From where I live," I say dryly.

He sighed and said, "Where did you first see it?"

I frowned and said, "I was much younger then, but I was in America. The man said, once he died, I might be able to have it."

The man's eyes widened slightly. Then, he shook his head and asked, "Are you the Hero Killer?"

I shook my head and said, "Uh… no? I am not known as the Hero Killer. My name is Ju-Long Ryoto."

The man asked, "Would you kill a Hero?"

I frowned and asked him, "What kind of question is that? I WANT to be a Hero. Why would I want to kill one?"

The detective looked at Toshinori and said, "He is not the Hero Killer."

I rolled my eyes and said, "I could have told you that. So I am guessing that your Quirk is either making people tell the Truth or maybe being able to tell if someone is telling the Truth or a lie."

All three pairs of eyes widened at that.

I shrugged and said, "If he is a cop, then he can use his Quirk. If he is a detective, then he would have to have something that can either help him find stuff out or something along those lines." I paused and then added, "Plus, he is asking me questions, so if I were to lie, I have a feeling he would be able to find out, hence why Toshoni brought him."

All Might seemed to deflate even more than before.

I asked him, "You okay? You look pretty sick."

The detective sighed and said, "I am going back to the Office. Call me if you need anything, Toshinori."

The skinny blond said, "Thank you for coming."

I sighed and said, "I am going for a Chocolate Milk Shake. Do any of you want anything?" I reached into my pocket and pulled out a ten-dollar bill, a United States Bill. "This is all I have for the day..." my voice trailed off as I realized I would need to get a job or something because I would need to get more money. I may not need to eat, sleep, or anything, but I do like to do those things because it makes me feel almost human. Besides, Venom really likes Chocolate, even more than brains.

Izuku said, "I am good-"

I cut him off and said, "Sorry, but you are working very hard. You need to fuel your body." Then, I turned to the Skeleton Form of All Might and said, "And you look like a walking Skeleton. You need to put some meat on those bones."

Toshinori said, "Thank you for the offer, but I can't eat regular food."

I shrugged and said, "Suit it yourself." I turned around and began to walk up the ramp and began to walk towards the nearest fast food joint that would have either a Chocolate Milk Shake or Chocolate Ice Cream.

It took about fifteen minutes before I made it to a restaurant that served what I wanted. I ordered three burgers and two fries, and an extra large Chocolate Milk Shake.

Venom formed a tendril and a face as he said, "Okay, give me the Chocolate!"

I shrugged and gave him three-quarters of the cup.

Venom shrunk back into me as I munched on one of the burgers as we headed back to the beach.

I finished eating the first burger long before I came to the ramp. Then, as I kept moving, I threw away the wrapper in a nearby garbage can.

I made it back to the beach after about forty minutes.

I saw that Izuku had down a lot in a short amount of time. Before he did the medium-light stuff, he had organized the light stuff into a pile. I chuckled and muttered, "He must be willing to do whatever it takes to be a Hero. I like his spirit."

Toshinori was sitting on top of a fridge, and he had Izuku pull it across the beach.

I sighed and walked down the steps towards the sweating young man.

I whistled rather loudly and said, "Catch." I then tossed the bag of burgers to Izuku. He looked up just in time to catch it.

Izuku smiled and muttered a soft "Thank you."

I waved him off and said, "No problem, Midoria."

He immediately began to devour the greasy hamburger with cheese.

I chuckled softly and shook my head as I said, "You need to keep your energy levels up. You can do that by eating." Then, I sighed and said, "I understand that a Hero may not always have time to eat, but you are still a student."

Izuku nodded his head but said nothing as his cheeks were full of food, making him look like a squirrel.

I turned to Toshinori and said, "Sorry, but my Quirk needed some Chocolate in order to be happy. So I could not get you anything."

Toshinori waved me off and said, "It is fine, young man."

I looked at Izuku as he finished up the fries before he once again got back to work.

I sighed and said, "Pity that I can't use my weapons during the Entrance Exam." I took the Shield off of my back and put it on my left arm, and held the Sword in my right hand. I went through a few Tai-Chi Motions and some Kata Motions.

Toshinori asked, "How long have you been using a sword?"

I shrugged and said, "For about as long as I can remember." Then, I slashed at a car engine and split it in half in a single fluid motion. I threw the Shield, and it hit the fridge. The Izuku was pulling. It dented it and bounced back into my hands. I did a few Shield pushes and a few slashes with the Sword.

I saw that they both were looking at me.

I frowned and asked, "What? These two items are all I have left of my past… and my Quirk." I put the Sword on my back and then put the Shield over it.

Izuku said excitedly, "That was amazing! You move so quickly and while keeping your balance on the shifting sand so easily!"

I shrugged and said, "Yeah… it took practice to get here,"

Toshinori gave me a smile and said, "So, Ju-Long, what will your Hero name be?"

I shrugged and then said, "Maybe 'The Adapting Hero of Doom; Juggernaut.'"

Toshinori frowned and said, "That is not very heroic… though it is not a bad name."

I shrugged and said to him and Izuku, who was listening, "All Might is the Symbol of Peace. He brings hope to where he goes. I will be the Symbol of Justice. I want to bring hope to the hopeless and fear to the criminals."

Toshinori frowned again and said, 'That is not exactly a good thing…."

I sighed and said, "Fear is a great motivator, though love is an even better motivator. I do not fight for revenge or in anger. I fight to protect the ones I care for. I fight to prevent the loss of life."

Toshinori slowly nodded his head though he said nothing to me.

I sighed again as I stood up and walked towards the ramp again.

Izuku asked me, "Ju-Long, where are you going?"

I shrugged and said, "I think I have taken enough of Toshinori's and your time. If you want to be able to enter the U.A. University, you need to get stronger. You can't get stronger if I keep distracting you."

Toshinori asked, "Where do you live?"

I snorted and said, "I do not have a home or a place of address. However, my Quirk allows me to Adapt to most things." I sighed and said, "I can breathe underwater if push came to shove."

Izuku Midoria frowned deeply, as did Toshinori Yagi.

Izuku said, "B-but that is not fair."

I gave him a sad smile and said, "Life is very seldom fair. Are villain attacks fair? Are Natural Disasters Fair? The sooner you learn that life is not fair, the better you will be. For another example, is being born Quirkless fair?"

Toshinori frowned deeply as he sighed, "You are right, young Ju-Long. But being pessimistic is not very good."

I sighed, slightly annoyed, and said, "I am being logical. Life is not fair, but we need to make lemonade out of the lemons that life gives us. I am just glad to be alive and living here on Earth."

Izuku sighed but nodded his head.

Toshinori asked, "Do you at least have a phone?"

I shook my head and said, "No."

Izuku and Toshinori looked at each other for a few long moments.

I said, "You know, I will be back here tomorrow." I bowed to both of them and said, "Thank you for showing me kindness and concern."

Venom shouted in my head, 'Bullets incoming from the right, heading right towards All Might and the Broccoli Boy!'

I darted between them, turning my back toward where the bullets were coming from. My Shield deflected the shots but protected us. I tackled Izuku and covered him with my body.

Toshinori looked around and saw a motorcycle speeding away.

I smelled blood as I asked, "I smell blood. Who was hit?" I stood up and looked down at myself, seeing that I had a bullet wound in my lower back.

Toshinori turned to me and coughed up some blood as he saw my wound.

I asked, "Toshinori, did you get hit?! Why are you coughing up blood?!"

Toshinori exclaimed, "Never mind me, you were hit!"

I waved off his concern and said, "I have a Healing Factor." Then, I turned around and showed him the now-closed wound and the bullet that had impacted against me.

Toshinori's jaw dropped open as he saw just how fast and effective my Healing Factor was.

I looked at him and asked, "Now, care to explain why you are coughing up blood?"

Izuku somehow had a notebook and began to scribble down something as he muttered something about my Quirk being one of the best Regenerative Quirks he had seen or even heard of.

Toshinori sighed and said, "It is an old battle wound."

I gave him a nod and then spoke, "I am sorry."

Toshinori arched an eyebrow and asked, "For what?"

"I wish that you were not hurt… I bet it was related to a villain attack." I say softly, "I wish it could have happened to me. I can heal from almost anything." I say softly.

Izuku paused before speaking out, "Ju-Long… thank you for saving me… I owe you." He gave me a very deep bow to the point where his head touched the sand.

I waved him off and said, "We are hoping to be heroes. So, we need to look out for each other."

"My mother may have something different to say about that," Izuku said softly.

I gave him a nod. Then, I sighed and said, "I will be back."

Toshinori said with a frown, "You are not going after them, are you?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "And risk everything that I have worked for? No. I want to be a Hero. I want to be able to use my Quirk to help people." I sighed and said, "If it makes you feel better, I will go and rest near the wall."

Toshinori nodded his head once before saying, "Young Midoria, please continue to clean the beach."

Izuku gave him a small salute before double-timing it.

Well, I am uncertain of when I will update this story, but I had this idea in my head for a while. First, I wanted to try to wait until I finished my other story, but I just could not wait.

Izuku will be friends with Ju-Long, and Ju-Long will help train Izuku in hand-to-hand combat.

I hope that you all enjoyed reading this chapter!
