"You are a true hero," it had been nearly half an hour since the kind man said those words and Izuku was only now pulling himself back together. The old man didn't judge, he just stood there, a comforting expression secure on his face.
"I-I'm s-I'm so- Thank you sir… I-I I'm sorry you had to see that,sir I-I jus," Jié just placed a hand on his shoulder, "Don't apologize for having emotions, young man, they are our most powerful weapons."
"N-no one's ever told me that before. Once they find out I'm quirkless they,"
"Trust me kid I know what people are like these days, that being said what would you say if I could help with that?"
This caused Midoriya to pause in confusion, 'how could he help, you can't give. A quirk can you? And if you could, how would you do so…' before he got to deep into it he felt a light pressure on his foot, it was the man's cane, it wasn't stamped down but instead just lightly rested its present just enough to be to I able but not enough to be painful. "I can't tell you much just now, but let's just say it's not a quirk exactly, more like a quirk substitute, I'll have to talk with a hero friend of mine but you should get a call by tomorrow at the latest." Midoriya was absolutely gobsmacked "wh-why- Why are you doing this for me? I-I-I don't understand!"
"Because I know that without power you'd be a great hero, but with it you'd be a great one."
About an hour later after saying goodbye Izuku arrived home, a humble apartment that he and his mom lived in since his dad was forced to stay in America for most of the year for work.
"Mom I'm Home!!" Izuku said as he took off his shoes only to be immediately bombarded by his short and stout greennette "Izu!!!!! Iusinshwhwaqkciiwbwjshsb hwdbdbehehejisnwjiajsbbdhshwhhwbsbwbsbawjwiwnwbhwjwbwhwijwbwbsjsjsisjsnn
wnajajsbsjababajanansnsnnsnsnsnwjqisnjsbdnfvxguqfixjduoabcsudbdinjsisosjbhdjs"
Izuku just watched blankly, thinking to himself, 'is this what I look like when I start freaking out?'
As Mrs. Midoriya finally ran out of breath Izuku asked, "You mind saying that again? I got like two words tops from all that."
She took a deep breath and then much slower and more intelligibly explained, "I was about to begin her preparations for dinner when I heard the phone ring. So I go and answer it and long story short the guy on the other side is that smart mouse guy, even proving it by having that Endeavor guy land outside turn to the window then fly off."
"WAIT YOU MEAN YOU MEET NEZU AND ENDEAVOR WITHOUT ME?!?!" Izuku cried in disbelief with Inko deadpanning, "you're more concerned about that and not about how they know where we live?"
"Wait Wait Wait, what did he say.!"
"Uh Uh, i-it was a bit long but he essentially said that UA has a special offer for you and that he'd like to meet us tomorrow to discuss"
Izuku froze, 'meet? us? tomorrow? UA? offer? could this really be what that man was talking about?'
Inko looked at her son's shocked state and tried to reassure him that "this is your choice Izuku I'll-I'll stand by you no matter what." Izuku shook out of his shock before quickly pleading, " Mom I Have To-I Want To Go. Can We Go?" She saw his pleading eyes begging for her support, so how could she do anything but give a determined nod, she wouldn't let him down this time.
"Sir?"
"Huh? Oh yes, what can I do for you? Is there an incident downstairs? A rude client?
"No sir, but the Japanese hero Nezu is wanting to set up a call with you, he said he'll be emailing some details on what he wishes to discuss soon. "
"Oh, in that case I'll be right on that, thank you. "
"Any time Mr. Shield"
Author's Note
I'm sure everyone can see where this is going.
I swear the next chapter will have some miraculous action.
That being said I'm going to be working on my drivers Ed stuff before I start going to university next month so expect some more inconsistent uploads on both this and Blind Savior.
Also don't expect any Hisashi hate in this or Blind Savior, ain't his fault Japan's work culture is unforgiving.
