Months have gone by since Steve woke up. To be honest, the super soldier was expecting he would be doing some strange things. However, no one had told him he would be facing alien weapons, 'gods,' and the return of the cube that Hydra had used, or the Tesseract as everyone else called it.
Now, he was in Manhattan dealing with an alien invasion. Not exactly, what he had in mind for his first adventure since he woke up. But hey, it could be worse.
Steve was currently helping police guide a group of civilians into one of the subways entrances.
As the American icon stood on one of the myriads of cars as he noticed two of those Chitauri hovercraft was approaching the group.
After making a quick calculation in his mind, he grabbed the side of his shield and launched himself into the air and spun his body sideways in mid-air. With the combination of both his momentum and incredible strength, he was able to propel his shield ricocheting from a building and striking one of the Chitauri piloting one of the hovercrafts, which caused the vehicle to slam into the other beside it as they both crashed into a building.
Steve landed on his shoulder and rolled to the side and putting his right hand and both of his feet firmly on the ground. The super soldier quickly looked up to find his shield, once he noticed where the flying object was heading, he made a short leap on the air and caught his vibranium weapon.
Once he landed on the ground, he quickly looks around his blonde hair now matted, as his face had been exposed due to losing his helmet in a fight. As he scanned the area, he then heard a loud roar in front of him.
He watched as the flying monstrosity of a Chitauri ship snaked its way through the city block with its dark armor as it glinted from the sun. 'Damn, it must've gotten passed the others', the thought passed through his mind as he focused on the creature.
"Deku, stop!" A female voice called out as a figure ran past him towards the monstrosity. A female figure had passed Steve, who quickly grabbed her arm.
The girl looked back at the American icon. She looked to be in her mid-teens, the girl dark brown, shoulder length hair whipped towards him her brown eyes now wide with panic.
"My friend, he's gone towards that thing. He's not making any sense; I couldn't stop him-" Steve quickly interrupted the panicked explanation. "Don't worry I'll get him; you need to get to safety."
Before she had a moment to protest, he caught the attention of the police officer and quickly pushed her towards them and chased after the figure, as he sprinted through the destroyed streets with a few civilians running the opposite direction.
It did not take long for him to catch up with the figure, "hey, get back to where it's safe!" The super soldier called out, but the figure didn't respond, then he noticed that the male figure in front of him had dark green messy hair. Steve quickly activated his earpiece, "everyone, we have a…" but before he could finish, the figure then started to emit green sparks of electricity around his legs, and he began to crouch mid-stride.
Before Steve could even react, a large gust of wind blew him back. The super soldier quickly raised his shield to defend himself from incoming debris. Once the wind around him died down, he was able to lower his shield. His eyes widened in complete and utter disbelief. Before him, he saw the behemoth being launched back towards where it came from as it landed face first into the ground causing a large crater and a shake in the earth as it's full body impacted the ground.
Steve looked up and noticed a figure falling from the air. Before he could gather his thoughts, the super soldier quickly took off his shield and flipped it upside down. He then hooks four of his finger around the inside of the vibranium disk with his thumb on the outside, Rogers then put all of his strength into his right arm and hurled, the now upside down, shield towards the figure.
Steve took off in a mad sprint as he watched the saucer fly true even though it was upside down, the shield caught the figure and landed on the Steve ran thoughts were flying through his head, how was he able to do that, that should not be able to do that, unless.
"Hey Cap, what's with the silence, Chitauri got your tongue?" Tony called out derailing the soldier's train of thought to which Rogers followed up. "Sorry, false alarm."
"Great job Rogers, for wasting our time and making us all worried in the process, can we all go back to doing our jobs. Now excuse me while I go kill this flying snake monster."
Steve ignored the billionaire's jab as he spotted five Chitauri foot soldiers creating a sort of semi-circle around the green-haired figure. The super soldier then leaped towards the alien and jammed his knee into its side; he felt a crack from what he guessed were the bones in its body, as the force of the impact launched the alien a few feet back.
In the corner of Steve's eye, he noticed the Chitauri now seemed to have their focus, thankfully, on him now. The super soldier continued with his assault as bolts of energy flew past his head, as he landed another hit with a strike with his right elbow into the side of the alien's head and quickly threw a powerful jab into its torso, making the soldier double over, and ended the combo with him slamming his knee into its face producing.
Two more streaks of energy fly past Steve, as he felt a brief flash of pain as one of the energy bolts grazed his side. But, despite the pain, he was glad to have their attention on him rather than the helpless civilian on the ground.
"Here!" A small voice called out as the American icon felt something hit the side of his boot. The super soldier looked down to find his shield by his feet, however when his gaze turned to his enemies who have returned their attention towards the helpless figure on the ground. He quickly hit the side of the vibranium shield as Steve caught it with his left hand and before the Chitauri soldiers could react, he threw his shield towards one of them knocking the alien back.
The super soldier charged towards them as he quickly grabbed his returning shield with his right hand and quickly slid the metal disk onto his left arm in a practiced motion, the icon quickly raised his shield as another bolt of energy slammed into it, as he continued his push towards his enemies, and allowing their attention to be focused on him alone instead of the civilian on the ground.
Steve quickly lowered his shield as he threw out a quick kick just below its knee and a loud snap erupted as the foot soldier yelled out in pain as it fell onto its knee. The icon quickly followed it up by slamming his shield into the Chitauri's throat as he heard an audible crunch from the force of the impact.
The last of the Chitauri was slowly picking itself back up, to which Steve quickly responded as just as the alien got to his feet, the super soldier slammed his foot into its chest, launching it to a car behind it. He quickly rushed the alien again as the super soldier leaped in the air, and by using all of his strength slammed the vibranium disk into the alien's chest which caused a loud thud to erupt from the impact.
Once he noticed that all the Chitauri were no longer moving, he let out an audible sigh of relief as walked towards the figure laying on the ground.
Now that he didn't have any threats around him, he took notice of the figure on the ground. As he approached him, he noticed how small he looked. However, that thought would quickly go away as he looked at the civilian's limbs his right arm and both of his legs were bent in unnatural ways, and with his arm visible, Steve noticed that not only was the arm's unnatural shape but how his skin seemed to look like it had been burned.
Then the super soldier looked at the rest of the figure, and as he saw the familiar dark green hair and freckles that were on his face, it confirmed Steve's suspicions, the boy that now laid before him was Izuku Midoriya. The young male's eyes looked unfocused as his eyelids seemed to flitter open at times before closing them, his chest seemed to rise and fall slowly, and the only limb that did not have any damage was stretched out towards the direction which the shield hit his boot during the fight.
The American icon approached the unconscious teenager, as Steve reached out to grab the younger males arm he started to notice patches on his destroyed arm seemed to be returning to their original shade. The super soldier easily was able to pull the green haired boy over his shoulder and carried away from the battle that raged behind him.
As the older male slowly ran to keep the teenager resting on his shoulder, thoughts were rushing through his mind, 'how is he able to do this, why this kid of all people have a power like this?' But Steve shook it off as he continued, he also heard slight sounds of cracking emitting from the boy as Rogers felt young Midoriya's limbs slowly realigning themselves.
The super soldier heard a voice yell out to him, then a figure that looked to be a paramedic came towards him and offered to take the teen off his hands. So, Steve, now snapped out of his daze, gently handed over Izuku to the paramedic and returned towards the battlefield.
…
They had won. Steve, along with the other members of this newly formed team had been able to stop the Chitauri invasion, and now they had captured Loki.
Thor had flown taking his adopted brother to the Helicarrier to be put into a cell for the time being. "Well, now with goldilocks off to do his errand, how about we go to that shawarma place I mentioned earlier. Trust me you'll thank me later." Tony explained as he looked at everyone else, Natasha, and Clint.
"Sure, I'm fair game."
"God knows, I need a well-deserved break."
Then Bruce had stumbled back as he reverted from being the Hulk. As he stumbled towards the rest of the group, "y-yeah, I would like some too, I just need some time to think of some happy thoughts."
"That…sounds fun, but I have somethings I need to take care of."
"Well, if that's the case then there is an elevator right there you can take, I'll just you know, fly there and get my order first if you don't mind." The billionaire quickly stepped out and flew out of the building leaving the rest of them by themselves, "damnit I was going to ask him for a ride." Clint groaned as the four of them tried to get into the Stark tower elevator.
As the four of the quietly sat, Steve could not help but think back to seeing Izuku as the super soldier's eyes narrowed, 'whatever is happening to him I'm going to get some answers today.'
"Stop hurting him Kacchan!" A child with fluffy dark green hair as he stood in front of a crying child with his fists up. The green haired child's body quivered from fear as he looked at the three other boys who opposed him at a playground.
The leader of the trio had ash blonde spiky hair and pale skin; he narrowed his dark brown eyes towards the green haired child as a devilish smile spread across his face. "Oh, what are you going to do about it? Last time I checked this isn't a comic book Deku, and this is a fight you can't win."
Without any warning, the three boys pounced 'Deku' as they punched and kicked the young boy. One of the boys grabbed a fistful of green hair and forcefully pulled the young boy's head up, then 'Kacchan' raised his fist as he aimed a punch at Deku's face.
"Hey, what the hell is happening over here!" A deep voice called out towards the children which caused the boys to let go of the green haired child. The battered boy fell to the ground as his legs could no longer support his body. A large figure was now over him, his messy blonde hair and bright blue eyes scanned worriedly over his body.
"Hey, hey, hey, stay with me kid!"
...
Izuku groaned as he slowly woke up from his slumber. The teen's eyes slowly opened his eyes as his ears started to hear quick high-pitched beeps beside his head.
As Izuku's eyes became more focused on his surroundings as he noticed the light blue curtains at the front of his vision, the boy looked to his side and found the source of the noise he heard before originating from a machine by his side. Along with the clean state of the area, and the bed he was currently lying on, Izuku deduced that he was probably in the hospital of some kind.
The teen then heard a small groan below him. The green haired boy's gaze lowered, and his eyes quickly widened at the sight before him.
A girl his age was sleeping at the side of his bed. She sat in a chair, and the girl was resting her head using her arms as a sort of pillow. The teen girl's dark brown hair was spread out in a mess over her arms, her cheeks had a permanent blush, and a small amount of drool dripping at the corner of her mouth.
A light blush appeared across his face, but it quickly disappeared as a small smile soon replaced it. The green haired teen slowly reached out towards the girl's shoulder to gently wake her up.
Ochako groaned as the brown-haired girl stretched her arms as she slowly opened her eyes. Izuku let out a small smile, which she immediately responded by embracing him. The boy's body seized up from the tight hug Ochako was giving the green-haired teen.
However, the moment didn't last as soon as the brown-haired girl let go of Izuku and socked his shoulder. The boy quickly grabbed his now aching arm, "Ow, what was that for!?"
"FOR BEING AN IDIOT!" Ochako exclaimed as Izuku recoiled from the response as he now saw her brown eyes begin to flood with tears. The brown-haired girl quickly wiped them out her eyes.
Ochako then furrowed her eyebrows, "Do you know how much you scared me!? You just got up and ran off, and even after that, I spent so much time looking for you Deku!" Who seemed to recoil back from the tone his best friend as Izuku almost felt like he was sweating bullets from the pressure she was giving him.
"I had to go almost everywhere, and if I hadn't found your name on the list for people that were hospitalized, I've spent hours wondering whether or not you were alive!"
"And when I got here the doctors said that you had broken the majority of your limbs when they found you, and I had to rush out to find you!"
The girl let out an audible sigh as she released the rest of her frustration. "But when they caught up with me they explained that you were fine and that it may have been overexaggerating your condition. But still!"
Izuku's face fell after hearing the girls explanation, "I'm sorry Ochako; I shouldn't have run off, especially when we needed each other. Heh, I guess that makes me a really bad friend doesn't it?"
Ochako's expressions softened towards Izuku as the brown-haired girl quickly took her friend into a tight hug. "No one had said that Deku, it's just when you ran off, I was so scared. I didn't want to lose my best friend."
The girl then returned to embraced Izuku who then returned the gesture with his own. Ochako his shoulder, which caused him to slightly squeeze the girl tighter. The teen couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart. Being with his best friend after everything that happened today reminded him of how grateful he was to have someone like Ochako around.
However, the sound of someone clearing their throat interrupted the moment for the trio. The two stopped their embrace to look at the source of the noise, and all the teen's eyes widen as well as their mouths dropped to the floor. There stood a man with a red, white, and blue uniform with a silver star on his chest.
Captain America stood there with the curtains half open with both nurses and doctors watched him from behind in shock. Steve Rodgers looked at the teens with an awkward expression, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I was told that Izuku Midoriya would be here." The green haired teen's eyes became even wider as his mind quickly remembered the new male's face and everything seemed to snap into place.
Izuku slowly raised his hand, "that would be me." However, the boy knew that the American icon recognized the teen from when they had met months back as the two met each other's gaze.
Before Steve Rodgers could say anything Ochako slowly went up to him as she gave him a warm smile. "Um, I'm pretty sure a lot of people have told you this, but I want to say it now. But, thank you. Because of what you did today, you helped save a lot of people, including my friend."
The teen girl looked back at Izuku who let out a small smile towards his friend, who nodded and returned to look towards the super soldier, who simply nodded towards her. "Well, I am just doing my job miss, but I am grateful to help protect my home and the people who live in it."
He then let out a small sigh, "however, as much as I would like to chat with you some more, but if you two don't mind I would like to talk to mister Midoriya alone, please?"
The teen looked back towards Izuku, Ochako simply mouthed, "what happened?" Izuku couldn't think of a good explanation, so he simply smiled sheepishly and shrugged his shoulder towards them.
"It probably won't take long; I just need to ask him some simple questions, you'll have him back before you know it."
The girl standing in front of the hospital both gave Izuku a concerned look, to which he responded with a small smile and a nod towards the super soldier, "sure I wouldn't mind, I'll be fine guys, I will meet you in the lobby when I'm finished."
Ochako looked unsure at first, but then she nodded as she trusted the green haired boy's decision. "Well, I'm glad we got all of that set out now would one of you get a doctor to get him out of bed please."
…
Both Izuku and Steve waited until the doctor came in to relieve the boy from the bed and unhooked him to the monitor on his bed side. The two then thanked the doctor as the two walked out the super soldier led the teen to a closed door labeled 'Janitors.' The icon narrowed his eyes as he surveyed the area.
"Um sir, why are we here?"
"Well I would like to speak to you in private, and this is most likely the closest we are going to get."
Steve stated as he quickly opened the door and revealed the closet within. The super soldier quietly gestured towards the small area inside. A wave of anxiety flooded through his body, he knew why the American icon wanted to talk to him. But the teen had little choice as he silently entered the closet.
The tall male followed the teen inside and slowly closed the door behind him. Steve then turned the light on revealing the contents of the closet. The closet was filled with different cleaning supplies with only a steel fold-up-chair on one side of the room.
Steve gestured towards the chair, the green haired teen slowly went to the chair and sat down. Captain America leaned on the opposite wall with his arms crossed as he gave the teenager with narrowed eyes.
Izuku started to fidget in his seat as he focused on every inch of the closet excluding the man in front of him. The smaller male felt the super soldier's stare burrowed into the boy's head, "so, umm what did you want to talk about." The green haired male asked nervously.
Seconds flew by as the boy's question remained unanswered, "y'know when I woke up, I didn't know how long it had been since I flew the plane in the ice. For me, it felt like I was asleep, as if minutes had passed until I woke up…"
The teen then looked at the American icon he noticed how he seemed to hang his head in a solemn expression. The super soldier then looked up at the teen with a serious look, "however, I like to say that I remember the events of what happened back then, so how did you get a hold of All Might's power?"
Izuku froze in his seat; his heart thundered through his chest as both he and Steve Rodgers locked eye contact. The teen simply cleared his throat, "w-what makes you say that? I mean I wish I had p-powers like All Might, but he's just a comic book character, fiction, made up by someone else, t-there's no way anyone could have powers like his!"
The teen quickly stammered, but he noticed that Steve wasn't buying his explanation as the super soldier raised an eyebrow. "Really then? Well, I've recently gotten into reading some of those comics, and it never said anything about All Might having the ability to heal himself?"
"W-well, it is never really known what he has, One for All is something that…" Izuku stooped mid-sentence as he clasps his hands over his mouth realizing his mistake. He looked at Steve who had a small grin on his face. "Huh, interesting, last time I checked in the comics, there is no name for All Might's power."
The smaller male dropped his hands from his mouth as his shoulders sagged. "Now, can we cut the crap and get straight to the point?"
Izuku nodded, to which Steve continued, "alright now, how do you have Toshinori's power? Is there some sort of formula like what I was given, or some sort of ritual, or…"
The American icon's eyes widen for a moment, and he then leaned closer toward the teen. "Are you Toshi's son?" To which Izuku reeled back from the question as he as the teen waved both of his hands frantically in front of him, "n-no, no, it's nothing like that! He gave me this power."
Steve raised an eyebrow towards the last part of the statement. "He gave it to you?" To which Izuku slowly nodded, the super soldier's expression became even more confused about which the teen sheepishly rubbed his neck.
"Well, he didn't just give it to me, but…gah, it's kind of a complicated." The teen explained, however, in response, the icon took one of the buckets in the closet and emptied its contents. He then flipped it upside down and sat on the flat side; then the super soldier gestured towards the boy.
"Well, we're here right now, and I do believe we both have the time. So, how were you given One for All?"
...
Minutes go by as Izuku explained what had happened from when Toshinori first captured the criminal to the moment he told the boy that he would inherit his power.
"So, Toshi said that you were worthy of inheriting One for All?"
Izuku simply nodded as he slowly scratched his head. "Yeah, he said that One for All wasn't originally his. That it was a power that could be passed down from person to person."
Steve then furrowed his eyebrows as he then rested his jaw in his right hand, and lowered his gaze. After a moment of silence, the super soldier then returned the teen's gaze.
"So, he then gave you One for All?"
Izuku responded by shaking his head. "No, he said my body wasn't ready to handle the immense power of One for All. He said it could 'blow off all of my limbs,' and so he would try to work on my body until I could be a proper vessel." The green-haired boy then let out a small smile as the memory came to him.
...
A couple of days had passed since the incident, and now Toshinori was driving out of the city. His mentor had told his mother that the two would be on a short bonding trip so that she wouldn't have to worry for her son.
They had reached the outside of the city and arrived towards a dirt road. Izuku's eyes widened as he saw the absolute mess around the area.
Toshinori Took note of the teen's expression, "yeah it's pretty bad, isn't it? This used to be a beautiful park until people started dumping their trash illegally. So, the owner had to close the park when no one helped clean it up, and nobody wanted to come after that."
The boy turned back towards the older man. "That sounds terrible, but why are we here?"
Izuku noticed Toshinori let out a small smile as his bright blue eyes let out a glint of mischief as he slowed the car down.
"We're here because you are going to clean all of this up." The older man explained as he stopped the car and exited from it.
The boy's eyes widen as he stumbled out of the car and looked at all of the junk around him.
"All of this! It's going to take forever to clean all of this up!"
"Actually, it would take you about a year by my calculations." Izuku quickly looked to Toshinori, who was now in his enlarged form, walk towards a fallen refrigerator. He easily turned the now useless appliance upright.
"You want to be a hero, don't you?" The large male's voice boomed to the boy, who quickly nodded.
"Yes sir, more than anything!"
"Well being a hero is more than stopping petty thieves and fighting villains!" Toshinori explained as he started to crush the fridge as if it were a soda can.
"Sometime heroes were people who would help their communities and try to make the world around them better for everyone!"
As he finished crushing the fridge, he revealed the view around the park as the sun brightly shone on the two figures. Izuku's eyes widened at the view as he saw the wide expanse of trees and a lake not far from them.
"That is what it means to be a hero! Now, to give you this!" All might said as he went to the car and pulled out a large stack of papers and handed it to the boy. On the front read, The All-American Dream Plan!
The hero leaned towards Izuku. "Now, I want you to follow this to the letter, this is made with your body in mind! So, you better not slack off on it alright!"
The boy nodded in acknowledgment to which the mentor smiled even wider, "good!" The mentor explained as he grabbed a long length of rope.
"Now, Daniel-san, lets train!"
...
"It took me months to get my body fit to house One for All," Izuku explained as Steve gave the boy an inquisitive stare.
"So, then he gave it to you, in some sort of power transfer or something like that?"
"Well yeah, something like that..." The boy looked a little squeamish as a chill down his spine. "In order for me to get One for All I had to have it break down in my DNA. So, I had to eat one his hairs." Izuku explained as he cringed at the last part.
Steve seemed to absorb all of that information that he had heard from the teen. The American icon then gave the teen an intense stare as his dark blue eyes scanned the boy.
"So, does that mean that the two of you have been training on how to use your power then?"
Izuku let out a sheepish chuckle as he slowly rubbed the back of his head and looked to the wall. "Well, the thing is I got my powers for about..." The teen then pulled out his phone to check the time. "Nine hours ago." Steve's eyebrows rose up, "you hadn't used them before then?"
The green-haired teen simply nodded, "originally Toshinori wanted to see how I would be able to handle One for All, but he wanted me to rest and let the power sink in before I used it. So, I hung out with my friends until..." The boy gestured towards the outside.
"So, why use it then? If you didn't know how to use it and you knew I was there...especially for the effect it had on your body." The super soldier gestured to his limbs. Izuku slowly clenched his fist as his expression changed from nervousness to entirely serious. "Because a hero must always put their life on the line if it is to help others." He stated in a matter of fact tone. Recent memories resurface during the whole event.
...
Izuku let out a heavy cough as he slowly picked himself from the ground. The boy shook his head to let the dust fall from his hair as he slowly looked around.
It was complete chaos as people were running all around the teen. He saw some of them were stuck in a large pile of rubble at his sides while police and some random citizens releasing those who were trapped.
Izuku's eyes widened when he saw the familiar figure of Ochako with her leg pinned by some rubble. Izuku quickly returned to his feet and sprinted towards his friend.
The girl looked at him with wide brown eyes as her rapid breathing was visibly noticeable.
"Deku, I-I can't get out! I don't know what..." she stopped the green-haired teen grabbed her hand as he made sure to meet his best friend's dark brown eyes. "It's going to be okay. I can get you out of this, and we'll try to find a way out of this, okay?"
The girl nodded at her friend's explanation. Izuku quickly scanned the rubble for any part that he could be able to lift without hurting his friend. He quickly found a spot as he quickly went up to it and looked back towards Ochako.
"Okay, I'm going to lift this, as soon as you're free to move out of there as fast as you can. Can you do that?"
The girl nodded again to which Izuku grabbed the piece of debris, "okay we're going on three. Ready...one, two, three!" The boy gritted his teeth as he pulled the rubble with all of his might. Once he was able to move it just a little, the male saw his best friend quickly pull herself out of it. To which Izuku let go as soon as he saw that she was clear.
Izuku moved quickly returned to the girl's side. She held a thumbs up claiming she was okay. However, it did not stop Izuku from helping her up, once the boy saw that she didn't appear too injured he quickly scanned the area around the two.
The friends then joined the large crowd as they were guided by multiple police officers calling out orders to both civilians and other officers.
But as they followed the crowd until an explosion erupted near them as the two teens saw a man wearing a red, white, and blue uniform as he caught a disk with similar colors, the two's eyes widened in amazement at the sight.
"That's Captain America!" She called out, both friends' manner changed from panicked and fearful to one filled with relief and hope. However, before Izuku heard the thundering echo of a roar ahead of them. Out slithered a massive behemoth, its long snake-like body moved effortlessly as part of its body tore through a building and heading straight towards them as its dark armor glittered ominously from the sun.
Then everything slowed down. Izuku's mind moved quickly, 'that thing is heading our way. And based on how it easily took out a large part of that building its body must be incredibly durable. If it heads this way, it will hurt a lot of people, if it goes through one of those buildings it could cause people to be trapped.'
The boy then turned to look at the American icon, 'While Captain America is here, he doesn't have anything that can damage anything of that size. There might be stronger heroes in the area, but I don't know how long it will take for them to reach it.'
"Deku what are you doing we need to get out of here!" Ochako exclaimed as she pulled his arm.
"I need to help."
"Wait, what!" She gave him a confused look. With his mind made up, he quickly turned to Ochako. "Go, I'll meet up with you later!" He explained as he quickly escaped the girl's grip.
The brown-haired girl tried to reach for her friend but to no avail. "Deku wait, DEKU STOP!" She screamed, but he continued onward at a full sprint towards the massive serpent.
The boy recalled when he asked how to summon One for All in case he needed to.
"Well, for now since you don't quite understand its full power I would suggest you'd use it only for emergencies."
"But if you needed to summon it, listen to my words."
Izuku then began to crouch mid-stride as he saw sparks of green electricity around him. "Clench up your butt!" The felt himself flying through the air towards his target. "And let your heart cry out..."
'SMASH!' He roared in his mind as he slammed his right fist into the monster's head. Even with its size and armor, Izuku felt like he was punching a pillow as he heard a loud crack and the flying serpent was sent crashing down onto the street below.
Now Izuku was falling, and then the boy realized something. With one look at his arm, he noticed it flapping as if it were a flag and he could no longer feel his legs. 'Oh crap! Did I do it wrong?' He thought as the ground quickly approached him. 'Okay think, I need to decelerate myself for me to survive the fall, but how do slow myself down.'
Then it clicked, 'I can use another one of those punches, but I can use my left arm. But I need to time it just right so that I don't die. I might lose use for all of my limbs in the process, but I need to take the risk.'
Just as the boy readied his arm, he was then caught by something under his body as his arm helped stop the object from flying away. Izuku fell towards the ground and he sled across the street.
The teen groaned as he looked to see what had caught him. To his surprise, Izuku saw it was a large disc of some sort.
However, before Izuku could try to figure out what had just happened, loud, unclear voices not far from him. As he looked up his eyes widened at what stood before him, four grey-skinned beings with gold looking armor as they scanned the area with their weapons that look like they came out of a bad sci-fi movie.
This was Izuku's first time seeing who was behind the attack, and now his heart pounding against his chest. The boy's green eyes moved frantically throughout the area.
'Crap, what should I do? I can't crawl anywhere with one arm, and if I try to use One for All again, I don't know if I can survive the blowback from it along with losing the use of my only arm. Maybe I should play dead maybe that will let them avoid me.'
The teen made the rest of his body go limp. Then he heard the voices get louder, the boy looked up and saw the strange figures have their weapons focused on him. 'Or I'll just die.'
Izuku then used his one working arm to cover his head as he apologized to Ochako, Toshinori, and his mother. However, a loud inhuman scream erupted not far from him.
The green-haired teen lowered his arm, and he saw the familiar figure wearing a red, white, and blue uniform. As he noticed one of the creatures had already fallen while another was currently being wailed on by Captain America.
With that, it all clicked in his mind as what was under him. 'If I can't help him fight those things then I might as well give him a better chance at winning.'
Izuku then used his one working arm to push himself off of the shield; the then grabbed the shield. The boy looked up and saw the American icon finish the creature.
"Here!" The boy weakly called out as slid the shield towards the icon. Then darkness started to cloud his vision as his mind couldn't handle the pain any longer.
...
Both Izuku and Steve stared at each other as the two refused to break eye contact. The man then reached out and grabbed the younger male's shoulder. Steve's face had become a stern expression as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"I will not condone what you did back there. What you did was incredibly dangerous, and it caused you to destroy three of your limbs in the process. And if I hadn't been there you could have died; if not from the fall, then probably those aliens would have done it." Izuku shrunk back from the criticism as he now averted his gaze from the icon.
"But..."
The boy then looked back up to be greeted by a small smile on the super soldier's face now. "If it weren't for that, a lot of innocent people would have died." Izuku's eyes widened as he heard those words. "And I believe that Toshinori would be proud of you and what you did today."
The teen let out a shaky smile, "Thank you, sir." But the moment was ruined as the door for the small room opened revealing a man who wore a janitor's uniform and had shoulder length dark brown hair. But what surprised the two was that he wore a dark mask that covered both his nose and lower part of his face as well a set of googles that were over his eyes. Both Izuku and Steve gave a confused look towards the man as he let out a heavy sigh.
"Look, today aliens came out of the sky, and you are basically wearing the American flag...I am probably the least weird thing either of you have seen today. Now, can you guys please get out of here, I need get some stuff for my job."
The two both nodded and quickly left the room and feeling that their conversation was over Izuku turned to return with his friends. But he felt a hand on his shoulder; the boy turned towards the source to see Steve's face.
"We'll continue this another time, but be careful out there and be sure not to tell this to anyone, understand?"
The boy simply nodded, and the blonde male found it sufficient enough as the two separated.
