I hope you all enjoy this new chapter and that you all have a fantastic day! (Oh and one more thing spoiler warning for those who only watch the anime for My Hero Academia coming to a certain character I just thought I would let you all know before You start if you don't like that sort of thing)

Ever since Toshinori had known Izuku, the boy had never been known to be afraid of tests. Why would he, the boy was always smart. So, he was quite shocked to see Izuku being so jittery the night before they left. The poor kid almost looked like he was going to bounce all over the walls from how his nerves were acting up, it took Steve choking the boy out before they could put him to bed.

But, to be fair Toshinori couldn't blame the kid, as he looked at his rear-view mirror. Izuku looked like he was about to throw up, 'this isn't like the tests that his school would give him, our first run in with Aizawa proved that much.' The taller blondethought to himself.

Toshinori heard an audible sigh come from Steve as he took notice of the green-haired teen spacing out. "Izuku, you need to calm down. I've said this a thousand times already and I'll say it again. You. Will. Be. Fine."

"I know, but even with Full Cowl I still don't know what mister Aizawa is going to give me. What if I screw up with Full Cowl and end up destroying my body? What if he has a test that won't let me use it, or what if..."

"You're rambling again Izuku, and besides if what Steve has told me is true, you've been working hard at using One for All. So, there is no need to be worked up about it."

"Yeah, but what if what I can do now isn't enough, even with Full Cowl I still haven't made it passed using five percent of One for All. What if I get put into a situation that won't require me to put out more than five percent?" Izuku countered the taller blonde's statement which caused the Toshinori's eyes to slightly widen. 'So, he still hung up about that.' Steve had explained to the retired hero how the boy had really tried to improve on the output of One for All with no results.

Toshinori let out a heavy sigh, but before the taller man could say anything Steve beat him to the punch. "Izuku, you know that Rome wasn't built in a day, right?" The green-haired teen looked at the super soldier with a raised eyebrow.

"I know you want to get out there and be like Toshi, but you don't need to rush with your powers. It takes time to develop these things, and I wouldn't be surprised if Toshi had to learn a thing or two about his own powers as well." The American icon explained to which the hero nodded, "he's right. Even though I could control the entirety of One for All there was still a lot of things I needed to learn, so don't sweat it, young man, because you'll do great!"

Izuku nodded after hearing both men's explanations, even though the boy still seemed a little fidgety, the majority of his nervousness he had early seemed to subside. Toshinori gave Steve a slight nod, as a way to say, thanks for the help, to which the super soldier gave his own nod in return.

A few minutes went by as they finally made it to the S.H.I.E.L.D facility as the taller blonde parked the car and the three went to the stadium there stood Aizawa, his slumped shoulders, and his tired, bloodshot eyes watched as the three approached him. "Well, it seems that you've made it back early, again. Well, that ruins my chance to take a nap, but hey, when do I get what I want, follow me."

"Hey, could you give me a moment with the kid, Aizawa?" Toshinori asked to which Eraser Head stared at the taller man and let out a heavy sigh, "sure, but make it quick I'd rather get over with it asap." The taller blonde then nodded over to Steve as the retired hero wanted it to be between both himself and the boy. To which the American icon nodded back and followed Aizawa into the building.

The green-haired teen looked back to Toshinori with a questioning stare as the mentor firmly grabbed the boy's shoulders. The boy looked up to the taller blonde, "now I want to tell you this, but this is it, you go through that door will lead not to just a test, but a whole new world. This isn't like the comics you've read in the past; the world is dangerous and it has people who are just as terrifying. So, tell me right here and now, are you sure you want to go through with this? We can stop right now, just say the word."

The boy's green eyes widened for a moment as Izuku's gaze lowered for a moment. Toshinori knew it might have been a little late to ask such a thing after everything they went through, but he wanted the teen to understand this was his choice, all the blonde had done was give Izuku the tools. The green-haired teen returned his gaze towards the boy's mentor, his green eyes held the same fire in the teen's eyes that Toshinori saw when the older hero had offered One for All to him.

Well, I've made it this far, I don't think it would be a good idea if I stopped while I'm ahead." Izuku stated to which Toshinori couldn't help, but let out a wide grin as he lightly pat the boy's shoulder. "I figured you say that, now one last thing."

The green-haired teen kept his gaze towards the older man, "back when you first saw me in as All Might, when I told why I smiled. I admit, when I look back on it I can't help but feel like I was just acting like a cynical old man." The boy looked to retort, but Toshinori shushed him. "Hey, let me finish before you start rambling."

"Now, back to what I was saying. But in all honesty, that's not where it started. Someone once told me, that in this world it is those who smile who is the strongest, because to them no matter what comes their way them smiling will tell everyone that nothing can take them down."

Toshinori stated as he pushed the corners of the boy's mouth into a makeshift smile as the blonde gave his usual wide grin. The taller male then motioned towards the door, "well the world awaits you, young man. Now show them what you can do!" The green-haired teen then let out his grin as he walked towards the door. The older man held his smile, 'You would have really liked him, Nana.' Toshinori thought to himself as he followed the teen inside the building.

It didn't take long for both the teen and the older male to reach both Steve and Shota at what looked to be a modified treadmill. "Okay, now let's get this part out of the way. This is simple you get onto this treadmill I want you to run on this a fast you possibly can. Don't worry about breaking this, it's specifically designed to handle enhanced individuals who could run at superhuman speeds and one more thing. Do not hold back, based on the results you get here will influence the outcome."

Eraser Head's eyes then narrowed his eyes at the boy, "if I find out that you are holding back, then it will affect negatively on your overall score." Izuku gave the man a nod as the teen approached the machine. Aizawa pulled out what looked to be a phone as the boy stepped on the machine. "Alright Midoriya, you have one minute, and begin." As soon as the agent said the word green electricity covered the boy's body as he activated Full Cowl and began to sprint.

Toshinori watched the interviewer as Aizawa focused his attention onto the screen of his phone as a multitude of numbers flashed across the screen. 'He is watching that boy like a hawk.' The older male understood the agent's reasoning as while the first time they met the disheveled man, he was simply pushing the boy's limit, but now this was serious. S.H.I.E.L.D only takes on the best, and this division made no exception.

…

Toshinori unlocked the door of his shop, he had just returned from eating dinner with Midoriya's after both the blonde and Izuku had told Inko about their little camping trip, and the two had convinced her that her son would be safe in the outdoors. The retired hero smiled when he thought back to her panicking about finding the right bug spray and sunscreen for her son, and was ready to start her own journey to the store to pick up supplies for the boy.

The man let out a light chuckle at how frantic the boy was as he tried to calm his mother down. 'Those two are a complete mess, but that's just who they are.' The blonde then sat down on his chair as he thought he should at least take a nap first before he would begin creating Izuku's schedule.

However, before he could shut his eyes, the man heard his phone begin to buzzing beside him. Curiosity poked at Toshinori's mind as he grabbed his phone and saw a number he didn't recognize. The blonde at first wanted to decline the call, but something stopped him as his finger pressed accept as if it had a mind of its own, his own interest continued as he put the device to his ear. "Hello, this is Toshinori Yagi speaking."

"Well, I'm quite glad that you decided to pick up the phone the first time around Toshinori." The blonde stiffened as the voice rang through. "Normally, most people would hang up with an unrecognizable phone number, but you aren't like everyone else, are you?"

Toshinori let out a heavy sigh, "what do you want?"

"I know that our last conversation did not exactly end on the best of terms, but do try to be somewhat civil." The voice explained, but that did not stop the blonde from clenching his teeth. "Normally I would, but last time I checked, you were the one who convinced Fury to have me retire."

There was silence on the line until it was broken by a sigh as what sounded to be the voice setting an object down. "Look, I did not call you to try to defend myself for what I did in the past, you of all people know that I try to look towards the future."

"So, what's the point of calling me then?"

"Well, it is quite simple, why Izuku Midoriya?"

Toshinori eyes widened as he gripped the arm of his chair with his free hand, to the point where his knuckles turned chalk white. "You should have known I would have seen him, as I make sure that I see those who wish to enter my division personally. So, explain to me what was the point of choosing him? While yes, his test score at his school show that he is quite intelligent, but that is as far as I can ascertain from your decision."

"There's more to it than that."

"Really? Then explain, there are many more who are much better candidates who you could have to inherit One for All. I even brought in a team of Enhanced individuals his age that I brought in originally to pass down your power, but you refused then. So, what has changed now?"

"The kid has a strong heart, a heart that belongs to a great hero!"

For a moment there was silence on the other side, "That is insufficient. I would not be surprised if there are others who you could consider to be great heroes. Since if that were the case why did you not give One for All to mister Rodgers, as he would not only fit your criteria for a good hero, but he also has the body to easily house One for All as well."

Toshinori heard his knuckles pop as he slowly picked himself out of his chair as the blonde felt his body began to turn into his muscled form as his usual wide grin turned into a scowl as his teeth as his deep voice boomed, "Now listen here, I know that kid may not seem like it at first glance. But, Izuku Midoriya will be my successor, if you are calling me now then you know how his test with Aizawa went. That boy has shown, time and time again that he is without any doubt in my mind that he is worthy to be my Legacy, and you will not change my mind on that!"

The retired hero heard a deep sigh erupt on the other side, "I guess we'll see about that."

…

Toshinori tightly clenched his hands into fists, 'this kid's entire life people doubted him, and I am no exception to this. But now, I want to show everyone else what I see in him now.'

"Okay, times up," Aizawa called out as Izuku began to slow his sprint into a full stop. "That was a little above thirty miles per hour, quite impressive, now follow me." The three followed

Aizawa over to the familiar location of the arena that they Izuku conducted his first test with the agent. However, the area had changed into what looked to be an obstacle course of some kind as it held walls and something similar to a jungle gym at a child's playground and at the end showed what looked to be a bright red button.

"This is an obstacle course; the objective is simple, press both buttons before time runs out." Eraser Head stated as he pointed to the button at the end, to what looked to be five large pillars pressed together and formed what looked to be stairs made for giants. "I will time you based on the results of your run earlier, now with that said, do you understand what is to be expected of you?" The disheveled man asked to which the green-haired boy nodded, "yes sir."

"Good now if the two of you can come with me please we will get started shortly." Both Toshinori quickly gave the boy a thumbs up and Steve pat the boy's shoulder before they quickly followed Shota. "Um excuse me Shota, but you didn't tell Izuku his time limit unless I missed something." Steve politely asked to which the agent quickly replied, "no, in most missions there will be points where there will not be any warning about how long you got, so if he has to bring out his best he might as well try to make every second count."

The three men reached a raised platform as it held what looked to be a keyboard of some kind. "What is that for?" Steve asked, to which Aizawa did not even face the super soldier as he nonchalantly stated, "you'll see in just a moment." The disheveled man then put his phone, "alright his time will be a minute and a half."

The agent then moved his face closer to what looked to be a microphone, "are you ready to begin Midoriya?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good, now START!"

Izuku quickly activated Full Cowl as he sprinted through the obstacle course, the teen quickly pushed through as made a plethora of vaults, jumps, and slides as cleared through the multiple walls and obstacles before him. The green-haired boy was even able to quickly fly through the jungle gym as he skipped multiple bars by using a combination of strength and momentum.

Toshinori looked down towards the timer on Aizawa's phone and grinned, 'it's been almost ten seconds and that kid has almost reached the first button, he must have underestimated the boy.'

As that thought crossed through his mind Izuku reached over and slammed the button signaling he had finished the first part of the test. "Alright, beginning phase two." Quickly the agent pressed something on the keyboard. Suddenly, the floor began to shake as the five pillars began to change. The shortest pillar began to produce long metal planks that seemed only wide enough for one foot as they spread out randomly all across the pillar. "Time is still ticking Midoriya."

Aizawa stated as the teen looked awestruck for a moment, but the agent's voice shook him out of his trance. Izuku quickly used Full Cowl to scale up the pillar, the taller blonde thought as both he and the super soldier looked to each other and nodded showing their work at the woods was not in vain.

Eraser Head was also taking great notice as well as the boy began to reach the top at the one-minute mark he pressed another button and two objects flew past the men and up towards the boy. They looked to be the size of a basketball with one long tube on the front, "what's with those?" Toshinori quickly asked as they went straight for the teen.

Again, without turning to face the retired hero Eraser Head simply stated, "on the field, anything can happen, whether it be unknown terrain or other combatants. I figured the both of you can already understand that SHIELD only looks for the best of its agents, and our division is no exception. So, if an agent cannot handle something not going their way, then they would not stand a chance out in the real world."

After the agent's explanation Izuku had reached the second pillar, it's floor to be constantly moving as what looked to be slices of the pillar about a foot wide kept on rotating throughout the area at what a appeared to be random intervals. However, before the green-haired teen could have the chance to think of a way through the obstacle the three flying drones from earlier had begun firing what looked to be blue balls of electricity at the boy.

Both the super soldier and the older hero looked at the agent with shock in their eyes after seeing one of the balls hitting Izuku, causing the teen to let out a small shout of pain. "don't worry it's not anything dangerous, it's more of for stunning rather than anything too dangerous." The disheveled man explained as he began to press another button to release what looked to be a large net of some kind, but that didn't stop either of them from worrying, especially when they looked at the time which showed thirty-five seconds left.

The green-haired teen must have figured this as well as began to make his way through, but not even four steps in before Izuku lost his footing. He then began to roll away as the flying balls began to press on their advantage and continued their attacks against the boy. This caused Izuku to fall to the side against the pillar, but the drones did not stop their assault, causing the boy to use Full Cowl to launch himself away.

However, the boy seemed to have miscalculated as when he tried to reach the end of the second pillar, his hand had barely touched the surface before falling towards the shortest pillar. "IZUKU!" Toshinori screamed as his heart raced as the twenty-five-second mark has passed, the boy quickly grabbed one of the planks on the side of the shortest pillar. The taller blonde heard an audible sigh of relief from Steve as he was tightly gripping the side of the platform they were on. "You can give up here, there is no shame in admitting defeat."

Aizawa stated on the intercoms, this caused the blonde to grit his teeth, 'no, not yet, you can't just let it end this early!' Toshinori remembered back when both he and the boy had first started training Izuku's body, and the older man had found the boy had overworked himself. The blonde had scolded the teen, but he remembered vividly the look on the boy's face as he laid on the ground gripping the dirt with all the strength he could, almost and what Izuku said next had always shook the man to his core.

"There are others who have had powers all of their lives. I need to work harder than anyone else! I want to do more than just pass by, I will go further beyond that. So that one day I can become an amazing hero, like you!" Toshinori felt his body begin to enlarge, 'I want you to be even better than me young man. Soon you will prove to the world that not only you are my one true successor, but someone who create hope for everyone in this world!'

"Young man, you will go further than anyone, for you will go, PLUS ULTRA!" Both Steve and Shota looked towards All Might as he boomed the last of his sentence.

But, something seemed to spark in Izuku as green electricity surged through his body as he quickly climbed his way to the top of the pillar and sprinted his way to the next. The drones flew straight towards the boy, but he was ready for them as he quickly dodged their shots. Izuku then grabbed one of the drones and with as much strength as he possibly could throw it at the other completely disabling it. The teen quickly sprinted towards the second pillar, All Might watched as the boy quickly figured his way through the obstacle, fifteen seconds left on the clock.

Aizawa pressed another button on the keyboard and what looked to be a heavily armored robot with a bright light at the back of its head, the machine did not deter the boy as he continued his way towards it. The automaton threw a slow punch towards the boy who easily avoided it, Izuku seemed to take notice of the glowing part of its head. As the robot began to throw another attack at him, the boy chose to go head-on as he used the limb to propel himself over the machine and grabbed the glowing part and yanked it out of its head.

As the automaton fell limp Izuku looked up towards the third pillar as it held what seemed multiple ladders of differing lengths scattered in front of him, with the last pillar barely peeking out above it. Ten seconds, 'there's no way he can make it in time, not even with Full Cowl.' The retired hero thought to himself. It appeared that Izuku came to a similar conclusion as he then used as all of the power he could to leap straight up into the air and as he reached his zenith the boy then threw the glowing object to the ground which caused an explosion to launch the boy straight towards the pillar.

Seven seconds, Izuku then used five percent of One for All to push himself towards the pillar. Five seconds, the teen then rolled onto the platform, four seconds, the green-haired boy leaped towards the button, three seconds, and with all his might Izuku slammed his hand onto the button ending the test.

"YES, THAT'S MY BOY!" Toshinori exclaimed as he launched himself towards where the green-teen, who let out a small yelp as he was surprised by the hero's entrance. However, this didn't deter the hero as the muscular man quickly pulled the boy into an incredibly tight hug, "gah-can you let go, I think you're going to break my spine!" The teen breathed out, "Oh yes, my apologies it's just that you scared me at the last bit there, but even then, I did not doubt you for a moment. And in the end, you proved yourself once again young man!"

"Now let us return to the others!" All Might exclaimed as he put one under the boy's legs, "Um, I think that is necessa-AHH!" Toshinori ignored the boy as he leaped down towards both Shota and Steve. All Might beamed towards Eraser Head, "see that Aizawa I told you that he would succeed!"

Both the agent and super soldier stared at the retired hero silently with the disheveled man continuing his stoic gaze, while Steve tried his best to hold back an amused smile. "Could you please put me down, this is really embarrassing." Toshinori looked down, and it dawned on him how small Izuku looked while he carried the teen. As a result, the taller man quickly set the boy down as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

Eraser head let out a heavy sigh as he walked towards Izuku, "well as you probably figured, you made it within the time limit means that you passed my test. However…" Shota's dark eyes quickly went from nonchalant, to complete seriousness. "What you pulled off, in the end, was not only incredibly risky but incredibly dangerous. So, you better get this through your skull, but in the field, it's risky moves like that, which can end up hurting others around you, or it could end up killing someone, only do it as a last resort, understand?" Izuku nodded, "of course sir."

"Good now, follow me, there is one more thing we have to do can make you officially apart of SHIELD," Aizawa stated as he began to walk towards the entrance. Steve quickly went up to Izuku and playfully rubbed the boy's messy green hair as the three caught up to Eraser Head. They walked up to the main building and as they entered Toshinori could visibly see the boy shaking whether it was either from sheer excitement or nervousness, but either way, it made the retired hero smile even wider.

As the disheveled man led the trio throughout the building until Toshinori started to begin to feel a sense of familiarity with his surrounding, but he couldn't put a finger on what it was. Finally, Aizawa stopped in his tracks as he turned towards Izuku. "Now, before you officially join you need to set up a…"

"BOOM!" A large explosion erupted behind what looked to be a heavy set of steel doors as dark smoke escaped through the small cracks. The agent let out an annoyed sigh, "why does this have to happen to me…I didn't ask for any of this." However, before Aizawa could continue his rant, a male figure threw the doors open and pushed his way through the dark cloud as he went into a coughing fit. "Damnit Hatsume, what did I tell you? It wasn't ready yet!"

'Wait I've heard that voice before, could it be?' Toshinori wondered as new voice entered into the fray, "failure is what breeds true success mister Shield, and I want to make sure all of my babies are perfect!" All Might felt his smile widen as the male figure emerged from the smoke revealing a man with messy light brown hair and a goatee of the same color, the man took off his glasses that were currently covered in soot along as he began to clean them. "Yes, but you did not even have a chance to improve the design before you tested it again, disobeying my-Toshi?"

As the man put on his glasses and his aqua blue eyes widen as he noticed the retired hero who walked up to the man, "Dave, it's good to see you again old friend!" The taller man stated as he embraced his friend, the two men laughed. "wait what is a 'Toshi' I don't have one of those?" The second voice emerged from the door as the smoke from earlier had cleared, revealing a girl around Izuku's age with bright pink hair that looked to be long and unevenly cut, with a set of goggles over her head, and her eyes looked to be yellow, but even with the unique colors of her eyes, what stood out the most was how they looked to have crosshairs over her pupils.

"This is Toshinori Yagi; he's an old friend of mine back when I first started at SHIELD."

"And this is David Shield! He's the designs some of the greatest uniforms and gadgets in the entire agency; I wouldn't be surprised if he were as smart as Tony Stark himself!"

As the two men introduced each other, David rubbed the back of his head as he let out a light chuckle, "I wouldn't say that I've made a lot of great things…But let's not worry about that, Mei why don't you…" The brown-haired man looked over and let out a heavy sigh, as he saw the girl return to a bench to work on another project. "Well that was Mei Hatsume, she's like an apprentice of mine."

Toshinori then noticed how David began to spot Steve, and the taller man had given his friend a light push towards the American icon, who quickly walked up and shook the super soldier's hand. "I-it's a pleasure to meet you mister Rodgers; I was one of the few who worked on your current uniform." The designer explained to Steve which gave him as he shook the brunette's hand in return. "The pleasure is all mine."

"So, how do you like it so far?"

"It's good the helmet is a lot better, it doesn't feel like my head is being squeezed as much as the other one had."

David let out a small laugh, "Well I'm glad you liked it, and I hope you come to me if any problems arise. And who is this?" The brunette looked to the teen who still looked to be a little jittery as he seemed to understand why he is here. "I-I'm Izuku Midoriya sir."

"Heh, you already have more manners than Mei." The designer stated as he let out a small chuckle. "He's apart of the new team of Enhanced Sir has created." Aizawa stated, which made the man's aqua blue eyes widened, "oh, well I'm glad there are some more Enhanced around Mei's age, besides having an old man like me around."

Izuku's eyes had become wider, "wait you're both Enhanced?" David nodded in response, 'The boy's surprise is understandable, unlike the girl earlier Dave does not look too different than most people.' Toshinori thought to himself, as the designer continued. "Yep, Hatsume in there can magnify her vision to make anything appear closer to her, which helps when putting in specific details on our designs, and I can bend my fingers more than most people," as to prove his point the man pushed his index finger all the way to the back of his hand without any effort. "It's not as flashy as most, but it helps when getting something in a hard to reach places."

"Now that we've finished with the introduction, I assume that agent Aizawa had brought you here to get your uniform fitted." As if on cue the girl from earlier poked her head out of the door. "Ho ho ho, did I just hear, what I think I heard~?" She asked, and she looked to be ready to burst into song.

The man let out a small smile towards the girl and gave her a nod; the pink haired girl quickly sprinted towards Izuku as she began to push the boy. "This is a great day as I get a chance to work on more babies~!" The boy looked around nervously as he was forcefully entering into the steel doors.

"W-wait, w-what are you doing!"

"I need to take in your measurements, and there's no time for tape so I will do it by hand for me to give you some good babies!"

"W-what do you mean-AH!"

David let out a heavy sigh as he followed the two teens into the steel doors, "welp, I better get in there before she scares the boy too much, or worse, it's been good to see you Toshi." To which the blonde nodded towards the designer as he entered the steel doors.

"Hey Toshi, could I ask you something?"

"Sure, what do you have in mind?"

"Earlier, when Izuku was in that trial you yelled out, 'plus ultra,' where did that come from?"

All Might was silent for a moment as he watched Izuku excitedly talk to David and Mei. "It's something I thought of a while ago. I thought it would be a phrase that I would use, you know like something going above and beyond one's own limits." The retired hero explained to which the super soldier couldn't help but smile towards the taller man.

"And people say that I am corny." Toshinori couldn't help, but chuckle, 'it might be silly. However, if the kid is going to survive in this new world, he has to break his limits to be the best.'

Minutes went by as both Dave and Mei helped to understand what Izuku wanted with his uniform, the teen had been preparing for this moment since he was a child and especially during the time he had been training for One for All. When the three had finished their discussion, Izuku held a wide smile on his face, "well, I guess you three got everything over with?" All Might asked as he kept his more muscular form, to which the boy nodded, the girl seemed to giddily skip over towards the workbench, "I get to make new babies, my life is truly great~!"

"Yes, but we have to get things through to Sir Nighteye before we begin, but after that, it'll be a couple of weeks before it's finished since we are starting from scratch, but if you need any upgrades to let us know, got it." The green-haired teen nodded.

The designer patted Izuku's shoulder as he reached over to shake All Might's hand, "it's been good to see you again Toshi. I still have that suit whenever you ever come back."

"You too Dave, I hope to use it again someday as well."

"I'm actually surprised to see you again, after what had happened between you and Sir Nighteye."

"What does he mean?" Steve asked which caught Izuku attention, as well as a confused expression from Dave. 'Sir Nighteye, I've heard that name before.' Izuku thought to himself as the hero let out a heavy sigh. "You see Sir Nighteye is the head of the Enhanced division, and…well he used to be, gah, well the best way I could describe him as my old sidekick."

Both the teen and super soldier looked to Toshinori with wide eyes. 'Wait, now I remember!' Sir Nighteye had always been a character that was shrouded in mystery in the All Might comics, but he was often thought of as the brains and had often supported All Might in the stories he was featured in. Although what made him interesting was the fact that he never had been seen in any panel of the comics, which made everyone, especially the teen wonder what the man looked like.

'So, what did David mean earlier about what had happened between the two of them?' The green-haired teen wondered as he looked to Toshinori and as if he could read the boy's mind All Might let out a heavy sigh. "We had an argument a few years back and we haven't spoken much since then. But don't worry about that, you're here and so there's nothing to worry about!"

However, despite hearing his mentor's reassurance, Izuku felt a sense of uneasiness from the old hero, but Izuku chose not to think too much on it as he nodded towards Toshinori. "Well, it seems that you've finished with your uniform, now if you come with me Midoriya-hraah." Aizawa yawned, the boy began to make his way towards the disheveled agent with both of his mentors following suit.

Aizawa glared at the two blondes with crimson red eyes, even causing Steve to freeze in place, and Toshinori to lose his muscular form. The three looked with wide eyes as Eraser Head continued his eye fixated on the two older men. "Only Midoriya is allowed to go, boss' orders. Wait out in the main lobby, or walk around I don't care, but this part Midoriya must do alone."

After the dark-haired man's explanation as Aizawa as his eyes returned to their original dark color as he walked away from the group. The teen felt a chill go up through his spine as Izuku turned around to both heroes. Toshinori looked to be completely dumbfounded to notice the teen while Steve gave Izuku a nod to reassure the boy. "Did you not hear me Midoriya?" The green-haired teen looked back to the agent, 'even though I did the trials mister Aizawa put me through by myself, it didn't feel that way since I felt that both Steve and Toshinori had my back. But, if I need to do this alone in order to move a step closer to my dream, I will take it.' Now with a look of complete determination on his face, he marched towards the agent ready to brave whatever challenge lay ahead of him.

Both Izuku and Eraser Head walked in silence for some time; the disheveled man had stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Sir Nighteye is often seen as a strict man; many people are scared of him because of that fact."

Izuku looked at the agent with surprise as he was the one to break the silence. "However, despite that, he has a soft spot for people who make him laugh, so when you see him I suggest you put your best foot forward and throw out the best joke you can think of." The teen was awestruck at the fact that the tired agent was giving him advice. 'Wait this was the same guy who had purposely tried to make me fail the first time we met, is he actually trying to help me?'

"Why are you giving me advice?" Izuku questioned as curiosity began to scratch his mind, Aizawa simply shrugged his shoulders as he continued his walk. "Simple, even though I may have passed you whether or not you enter the program is if Sir Nighteye allows it, as anything that happens here the buck stops with him. I told you that SHIELD only hires the best and I wasn't exaggerating on that. I do believe that you have proven to me that you definitely have potential, and I believe that you will have a place here."

Izuku was taken aback by Aizawa's response; the green-haired teen smiled at the man. The two continued to walk to a beautiful redwood door with a plaque that stated, "Head of Enhanced Division: Sir Nighteye" The green-haired boy let out a loud gulp as he focused on the sign. 'Okay, calm down Izuku, it's like what mister Aizawa said earlier, I will put my best foot forward and make him laugh.'

He let took a deep breath and let out a deep sigh, there was one thing Izuku could use that had always worked on Ochako. Agent Aizawa grabbed the door handle and pushed entrance wide open, the boy's green eyes widen as he saw room before him. It looked to be the complete embodiment of order with books set up neatly in their respective shelves on the left side of the room, and a long line of file cabinets set to its right. Just from the teen's first impression if he hadn't known any better Izuku would have thought the room looked like it belonged to some CEO he'd see in movies with the light grey walls and windows that covered the end of the office overlooking the area around the building.

However, what surprised Izuku the most was the plethora of All Might memorabilia. From the multiple posters from different eras of the character in his multitude of appearances, action figures, even when the boy entered the room he noticed multiple graphic novels that were for All Might, and the boy felt a wave of excitement flooded throughout his body as he noticed a frame with All Might in his Silver age costume. 'Wait is that All Might Versus Toxic Chainsaw!'

'Wow, not even my own room has this many All Might collectibles, and people say that I am All Might's biggest fan!' Izuku wondered to himself, "I brought the boy here just as you said, Sir."

Aizawa stated returning the teen back into reality as he now had a clear view on Sir Nighteye. "Perfect timing as per usual agent Aizawa, but can you at least say it with some enthusiasm!"

The teen looked to the man with a surprised look as the man looked to be in his late thirties, he wore a clean grey suit, a white shirt under the jacket, and the only color that appeared on the man's clothes was red with white dots spread across it.

Eraser Head let an annoyed sigh, Izuku took the opportunity as Aizawa's body covered the teen's for a moment and he used his hands to cover his face. 'This is my chance to put it forward here goes nothing!' As the agent moved away to reveal the boy, "my name Izuku Midoriya, and I AM HERE!" the teen bellowed out as he had contorted his face to look near identical to All Might's face.

'I'll be honest I don't have the greatest sense of humor, but with Ochako she has always said my jokes were "so bad they were good" kind of funny. So, hopefully, the same thing works on him.' The green-haired boy reasoned, but Izuku heard a smack beside him as Eraser Head's hand was over his face. However, the teen froze into place as he looked to Sir Nighteye, Izuku now saw the man's green hair with three blonde streaks on his smooth hair and golden eyes that now appeared as if they were daggers piercing the boy's soul as they were set behind his gold-rimmed glasses. Izuku could not help but let out an audible gulp as he noticed Nighteye's clasped hands grew tighter as the man's knuckles becoming chalk white. "Tell me mister Midoriya, was your intent to make fun of All Might?"

Now Nighteye had risen from his desk to his full height, Izuku could not help but take a step back. The green-haired man looked to be as tall, if not taller than Toshinori in his regular form as Nighteye's arms and legs looked to be long and slender. The head of the Enhanced Division continued his glare towards Izuku as he approached the teen, "I assume that Toshinori has explained how I was his partner."

"Y-yes, but-gah!" Before Izuku could reply Nighteye had grabbed the boy's face and visually inspected it. "Even then, this a poor imitation, as his face does not even have a wrinkle here." The green-haired man explained as he pressed his fingers against Izuku's forehead. "Even different artists keep a reference of All Might's visage as to keep a consistency between comics. However, you seem to lack that, Aizawa please send the boy off."

Both Izuku and the Agent were taken aback by the man's response. 'Holy crap, he rejected me just from that! I need to think of a way to fix this!'

"Wait a minute Sir; you haven't…"

"All Might and the Terror of Vinaigrette-Man!"

Both men turned back towards the boy's outburst, with the agent looking quite confused, while Sir Nighteye raised an eyebrow as he kept his glare towards the teen. "I am well aware of that issue, what of it?"

"W-well in that issue the villain had planned on infecting an entire city's water supply by changing it into the water, and to stop it All Might had to swim through the water to close the pipe, and as he got out he said…"

"Even if my eyes maybe stinging today, at least my skin will make me look ten years younger."

Izuku focused on Nighteye and nodded. "Yeah, and the way the panel is drawn it had always made laugh, and I always tried to copy that look so that I could make other people laugh too."

Izuku made sure to take notice of the spark of interest in the green-haired man's eyes as he watched the boy talk. "Interesting, that is quite an odd choice, as it is not well-known comic nor does it come on fan sites as most regard the issue as too silly even for the time it was created."

"Yeah, but it was my first comics I found as a kid. It may not be the best comic or even the funniest, but it always holds a special place to me."

Izuku explained as he let out a small smile appeared his face at the thought of the old comic, but the memory was interrupted as Sir Nighteye cleared his throat. "Yes, Shota do you have the document setup?"

Eraser Head looked surprised at his boss' sudden change, but it disappeared quicker than it started as he nodded to the green-haired man. "Yes sir, I have sent to you, all it needs is the both the boy's and your signature." Nighteye nodded, "good, now will you leave us." The agent nodded, "yes sir."

Aizawa's boss then stopped the disheveled man, "say it again, with feeling Shota." Eraser Head let out a heavy sigh, "Yes Sir!" The dark-haired man tried to exclaim, but it sounded more annoyed if anything. As the agent exited the door, Izuku let out a sigh of relief, 'jeez, I may not have made him laugh, but at least he didn't throw me out instead.'

The head of the Enhanced Division then returned to his desk as he brought out a tablet. "Now, Midoriya, I figured agent Aizawa has told you we want the best am I correct." Izuku furiously nodded as the man went to a printer as it warmed up. "Good, however, due to the fact you are so young, you as well as the team you would be set up with would do things more street-level rather than anything too drastic, like the Avengers. So, you at are considered more of a C-team, unless you find a way to rise up in the ranks, and the higher you go the more dangerous the mission. Do you understand?" The teen once again nodded again as he watched Sir Nighteye take out a pen and sign his name on the paper.

"Very good, once you sign this paper you will be officially apart of SHIELD and then think of this as an internship so that you can gain experience and train with your powers." Nighteye finished his explanation as he held out his pen toward the boy. Izuku let out a deep sigh and he reached out towards the pen. However, just before the teen's hand was just about to touch it the pen quickly disappeared. Izuku was dumbfounded as he looked back to see it a couple inches away, 'wait I thought it was over here, maybe I just imagined it.'

As he was about to try again a hand quickly grabbed the boy's, Izuku almost jumped back as he looked towards to see Nighteye's golden eyes returning to the daggers he had earlier. The teen looked back at the man with a sense of unease overtaking him. "Umm Sir, I-I can't sign this if I don't have the pen."

"Oh, I'm well aware that" Izuku froze as the middle-aged man let go of the boy's hand as he stood back up twirling the pen in his hand. "But you see there is one problem I cannot overlook, what is it that you can contribute to me, and SHIELD as a whole?"

Izuku raised an eyebrow towards Sir Nighteye who continued to flip the pen in between his hand. "It is quite obvious what you gain by me employing you, as you would be able to have the best chance at honing on One for All, as well as the number of connections you receive even though you will be starting near the bottom of the field."

"For example, All Might contributed to the organization by using not only his immense power but his wit and charm as he made everyone's day better just by being around him. But, what do I gain, yes you are quite intelligent, however, so are your teammates, your power gives you potential, but then the team you will be with have extraordinary powers as well, and it is most certainly not your sense of humor as proven before. So, I ask you one more time, what do I benefit by bringing you to SHIELD?"

Izuku stood there dumbstruck as the man continued to play with the pen in his hand as he glared towards the boy. 'What do I contribute?' To be honest he had not thought about before so he could not think of a better way to explain it.

"Well I see that my question has you quite puzzled, so how about I make this simple, let us play a game." The man stated as he threw the pen in the air and caught it without looking, "the objective is simple, take this pen out of my hand and sign your name within a three-minute time limit. As soon as the pen touches the paper touches will make you victorious, oh and you can do whatever you can to my office as long as you steal my pen. Oh, and to make things easier for you, I'll let you on a secret very few know, like most who enter this division I myself am Enhanced. And my power is known as Foresight, whomever I touch and look into their eyes I can 'see' what they can for the next hour."

Izuku felt a large pit in his stomach as Sir Nighteye finished his explanation, the man then let out an ominous grin. "I'm quite generous aren't I, giving you a chance to redeem yourself after that pitiful display of a joke earlier." The teen's hands turned into fists as he looked at Sir Nighteye with a determined look accepting his challenge.

"Well let us begin shall we, your three minutes starts now." Izuku quickly activated Full Cowl and launched himself towards Sir Nighteye, "a frontal assault…" The man asked, to which the teen quickly sidestepped and leaped towards the pen, "or so you want me to believe." Izuku then was surprised to see the pen vanish as Nighteye's golden eyes replaced it as the pen now reappeared twirling in the man's opposite hand. "You'll have to do better than that." Izuku gritted his teeth, 'continue your attack, just like Steve has said when you first don't succeed, redirect and adapt.'

Izuku quickly used the desk as he flipped over Nighteye to make another attempt for the pen, but once again the man simply slid his way around the boy without breaking eye contact with the teen. "You won't go anywhere with a simple assault like that. I thought mister Rodgers would have taught you better." The green-haired boy let out a grunt of frustration as he launched himself back away from Nighteye. 'He's right, I will go nowhere if I keep this up! Time to change things up.'

The green-haired teen then began to leap onto the walls as he bounced around the man, 'he might be able to see what I will do next, but there is a difference between predicting an attack and reacting to that attack.' Izuku had used this technique on Steve a few times, and it was one of the few things that could guarantee a few hits on the super soldier as it was hard for even him to predict where the boy would attack. So, it made sense if the inverse worked, right?

'Only one way to find out!' Izuku then launched himself towards the man's back, "is that the best you got?" As the green-haired teen reached out to grab the pen, once again the man simply stepped to the side as the boy flew past him. Izuku looked back to see Nighteye's condescending eyes. "I have yet to grasp why of all people Toshinori chose you to inherit One for All." The boy ignored the man's comment as he continued his assault, the teen pushed his hand against the floor and launched himself back at the middle-aged man. "Compared to all of the candidates that could have been chosen, you happened to be the most mediocre," Nighteye stated as he threw the pen up and away from the boy, Izuku chose to take the opportunity as he used his momentum to launch himself off of the wall and towards the pen. However, as he grew closer, another object came into view, a ruler? The object quickly smacked the pen off of its trajectory making the boy miss once again. Izuku tried to brace himself as the wall became rapidly approached him, but he was too late as he felt his shoulder slam into it.

Izuku gritted his teeth as he felt his shoulder ache from the force of the impact, "why do you continue trying, you must know by now that you have no counter to my Foresight." The teen then glared towards the man, "because, both Steve and Toshinori told me that I can succeed, that I can become a great hero!"

"To a nobody like you? I find that unlikely." Izuku then clenched his hands to a point where he felt the bones popping, but he did not care to notice as he continued his glare. "I'll succeed, and I will do so by taking that pen."

"Well then you have two minutes left, so you might as well try, even if you cannot succeed as my Foresight is never wrong." Izuku let out a maniacal grin as adrenaline pumped through his body. "Haven't you heard Nighteye, there is a first time for everything!" The boy charged towards the green-haired man. 'I will show him why I will be All Might's successor!'

However, as a minute went by with constant attempts, all ending with the pen just escaping his grasp, now the boy has stopped the assault, 'no matter how I approach it, he always finds a way to escape. There has to be a weakness to his Foresight, something he purposefully left out when he explained it, but what is it?"

"You're seeing it aren't you." Izuku's train of thought left him as he looked back at Nighteye.

"Even if I didn't have Foresight I can see your uneasy look on your face and it tells me all I need to know." The teen charged straight towards the green-haired man. "You know I was interested in seeing your capabilities myself, ever since agent Aizawa had brought you in for the first interview." The man explained as he continued to dodge around the boy. "However, even though

I respect Toshinori's judgment. Now that I've got to see your capabilities, I still cannot comprehend you being chosen for such a great power."

"Even now you show your doubt of the success you claimed earlier the longer our bout has continued. Such blatant display of your feeling shows me how incompetent you truly are. If you truly want to succeed the mantle All Might has given you then must know that you must always be vigilant even if the situation is dire as it will affect everyone around you. If you cannot do that in a safe environment such as my office, how will you hold up on the field of battle where anything can happen." Nighteye explained as he dogged another myriad of attempts to grab the pen. "You have thirty seconds left how will you succeed now Midoriya?"

'What can I do if he knows every move I make then how do I counter that…unless.' With a plan in mind, he made one last charge towards Nighteye. The teen jumped above the man as he used Full Cowl to throw a large gust of wind into the leader's eyes, which in turn propelled him towards the file cabinets. 'He said he could see my movements, but he never said anything about inanimate objects.' Izuku quickly opened the cabinet and took an arm full of what was contained inside of it, "I'm sorry Sir, but you said that I could do whatever I wanted to the office!" The teen roared as he tossed the contents towards Nighteye blocking his view. 'If he can't predict random object than this could be my chance, it may not be perfect, but it is all I got, and I don't have time to see if I am right, so I'm going all in!'

"I will show you Sir Nighteye" Izuku roared as he launched himself towards the green-haired man, "that I am worthy to be Toshinori's legacy!" He had everything right what he had thrown covered his attack, and it can succeed as the green-haired teen reached for the pen, that was until he saw the man's golden eyes staring at him head-on. Nighteye did not even break eye contact as he effortlessly moved his arm above the teen, as Izuku flew past him.

The teen was shocked as he went past the man, as flew towards the wall where Izuku saw the frame with the comic book, with little time to react the teen moved his body just enough to just miss it. He then slammed into the wall with his shoulder first, Izuku could feel his shoulder ache from the impact. "Your time is up" Nighteye stated, the boy's heart dropped, 'I screwed it up, I guess in the end I am truly…'

"What happened back there, you had a strategy and yet when it failed you just shattered into pieces, did you somehow lose focus?" The head of the Enhanced Division asked, all Izuku could do was shake his head, "so it was a blunder then?" Once again Izuku shook his head as he pointed towards the frame, "that's the original print of 'All Might Versus Toxic Chainsaw' isn't it?"

"When it was first released in the early seventies, parents quickly complained how it was too violent for their children, so it was pulled from shelves. They recently re-made the story, but there are only twenty copies of the original print, I can tell it's an original with the pricing on the right-hand corner. I have heard they go for over a hundred thousand dollars, so I didn't want to destroy something so priceless."

Izuku clenched his fist. 'I made sure to keep note of my surroundings during that rush as I didn't want to damage anything because if I had any of the things Sir Nighteye had, I wouldn't want anyone to damage them. I guess in the end my caution has cost me my chance to work at SHIELD.'

But, before he could continue his self-berating, the boy heard what he thought to be a soft chuckle, "how interesting…" Izuku quickly looked up to see Nighteye holding the pen out to him. "B-but I failed."

"Yes, but when did I ever say your failure would mean that you could not join?" Izuku only looked at the green-haired man with confusion towards the pen, "I had long since decided that you would join, but make no mistake Midoriya I still do not agree with you being Toshinori's successor, but I cannot change his mind even if I tried. Now take this pen, and you will become an official member of SHIELD." The boy then nodded as he grabbed the pen and walked over to sign the contract. "Good, you will begin tomorrow at ten, now leave my office and Aizawa will take you to the main lobby."

Izuku nodded as he walked back towards the door exiting the office, but as the teen touched the handle he looked back towards Nighteye who had begun to clean the mess Izuku made earlier, "I'll prove it too you, I'll prove that I am worthy to be Toshinori's legacy." The leader stopped as he looked over to Izuku, "we'll see."

…

When Aizawa had brought the teen to the main lobby where a concerned Toshinori and a calm Captain America, When Izuku told them that he had been accepted into SHIELD which excited Toshinori to the point where he turned into his muscular form to give the teen a spine-crushing hug, much to Steve's enjoyment.

Now, he had just been dropped off by Toshinori; his mentor explained that he would pick up the boy tomorrow morning. While Steve stated that while he wouldn't be able to see the boy tomorrow due to a mission that had recently popped up, but whenever he returned, the super soldier had promised to continue their training. Izuku couldn't help, but feel elated as he skipped multiple stairs on his way to his apartment. He had texted Ochako earlier asking if she and her parents would be okay to meet with him and his mom. He had yet heard back from her, but it shouldn't take long, and he couldn't wait to talk to his friend again.

Once he reached his apartment door, the boy took out his key and unlocked the door. "Mom, I'm home!" The green-haired teen set his bag to the side 'I'll put it up later.' Izuku heard the familiar sound of her feet quickly approaching him, he chalked it up to her not seeing him for so long, and he couldn't blame her. "I texted Ochako earlier if she…Mom?"

The boy looked over to see his mother whose green eyes flooded with tears as he let out a small grin. "Hey I know it has been a while, but don't you think" Izuku was interrupted as his mother embraced him as she cried into the boy's chest. 'Something isn't right.'

"Mom?" She looked up at Izuku. "It's Ochako…she's missing!"
