Disclaimer: I own nothing
Izuku and the family were back in Japan. Izuku planned on leaving soonish. He heard about a vigilante in Mexico. From what he hears she dresses like a luchador and has super strength. It should go without saying but she fights like a luchador as well. He hears she's huge too. Like she's over six feet tall. Absolutely massive. For the most part she works near Tijuana.
"Hey man, how you doing?" asks Dabi as he sits next to him on the couch.
"I'm doing fine. How 'bout you?" asks Izuku.
" I'm good man. Hey uhhh. Where are Toga and Eri? Or are they still here and I just don't know." asks Dabi.
"Toga's taking Eri out for ice cream. Eri's wearing a beanie and a mask so don't worry." says Izuku.
"Alright, good. Hey man can I level with you for a minute?" asks Dabi.
"You sure can my man, what's bothering you?" asks Izuku.
"Nothing bothering me. Just something I wanna say." says Dabi.
"Say away, my man." says Izuku.
"You're like… the best dude I know. Like the strongest too, mentally strong you know? Like I always watch you comfort Eri whenever she's sad. Or whenever Toga's upset you make something for her to eat without even asking. Or how you offer me a smoke whenever I'm bummed. Or how you just throw yourself into harms way for people you don't even know. Like how you through yourself in front of a moving semi truck for someone you don't even know. What I'm really trying to say is you always help everyone but you never let anyone help you. I'm not saying you have to. I'm just saying thanks." says Dabi.
"You're welcome man and thanks for saying that. It was real nice of ya." says Izuku.
That feels weird to hear. It's a complement. It was honestly one of the nicest things anybody had ever said to him but somehow it hurt to hear. Why'd it hurt?
"I'm gonna head outside real quick and light up." says Izuku, "You coming?"
"Naw, I got everything off my chest." says Dabi.
"After that I'm probably gonna go patrolling." says Izuku.
"In broad daylight?" asks Dabi.
"Yeah, I'm bored." says Izuku.
After smoking a couple of cigarettes and feeling a little better Izuku decided to go out and patrol. He still wasn't feeling his best but this could help. Izuku ended up finding an in progress bank robbery. He beat the shit out of the three guys robbing the bank. This actually did help him feel a little better.
"I AM." comes a booming voice from the sky.
Oh my god, no.
"HERE!" shouts All Might.
Izuku jumps on top of the bank and hides behind an AC unit. He turns around to sneak away… All Might is right in front of him. That's not good at all.
'Ruh Roh." thinks Izuku in a scooby doo voice.
"Hey there young man." says All Might.
"Hi, All Might. I'm a big fan." says Izuku.
"I'm glad to hear it, now could you do me a small favor and put these hand cuffs on?" asks All Might.
"No, actually I can't. I've uhm got somewhere I need to be." says Izuku as he jumps to the next roof only to find All Might's already there.
"I must insist you come with me. I don't want to hurt a vigilante. It'd be different if you were a normal villain, or maybe even an adult. Please just make this easier for both of us. I could get you the blood you need. I know what you are." says All Might.
"You know about all that huh? Then you should know how strong I can be." says Izuku.
All Might's grin widens. When did his smile look like that? It wasn't supposed to feel that way.
"I'm not falling for that bluff." says All Might.
Izuku pulls out his six shooter and aims at All Might, "Don't come closer." Did his voice always sound that high?
All Might takes a step forward.
"I said stop." says Izuku.
"Put the gun down, young man." says All Might as he takes another step forward.
BANG
Holy shit he just shot All Might in the face… All Might didn't flinch, he didn't even move.
"Good shot. Right in the forehead. I get it. You don't want this. This is gonna sound meaningless but I always hate arresting minors, but you do have a body count so I've gotta do it. I'm still sorry." says All Might.
"If you hate it then don't come closer." says Izuku.
"I've heard plenty of heroes are having trouble with you. Even if I feel bad I can't leave my coworkers out to dry like that." says All Might.
Izuku jumps away… All Might's already in front of him.
Again and again and again.
"Young man please." says All Might.
Izuku fires the other five shots in his six shooter. All Might isn't hurt at all he just looks sad.
Did his legs just get bigger? He's leaning forward a little.
DUCK
Izuku bends over backwards as All Might's fist barely passes over his head. The wind pressure from the swing sent him onto another rooftop. All Might was about to move again.
"Woah,woah,woah. Wait… wait. Are you stopping?" asks Izuku.
"Are you turning yourself in?" asks All Might.
"Here me out. Come here." says Izuku.
All Might comes over. Izuku immediately sucker punches him in the face. He still doesn't move. Izuku really should drink more blood. All Might punches him in the stomach and sends him onto another rooftop again. Izuku struggles to get up. Even All For One had never hit him that hard.
"Please stop." says All Might.
Izuku just stares at him. He hangs his head down low. He puts his hands out for All Might to cuff. He felt terrible. He felt sick. He feels nasty for doing this. As All Might is about to cuff him, Izuku sucker punches All Might in his weak spot. All Might groans in pain and Izuku hits him again. All Might drops to his knees, coffing. Izuku had never ran faster in his whole life. He honestly felt like he was going faster than ingenium could run. It wasn't fast enough. He got knocked down as soon as he landed on another building. All Might pinned his arm behind his back and put all of his weight down on him.
"STOP RESISTING!" shouts All Might. Izuku had honestly never heard him mad.
Izuku swung back with his free arm but it hardly even moved him. Alright last ditch effort time. Izuku turned his necklace into his axe and swung it at All Might. All Might got off him! Izuku scrambled to his feet. Woah. All Might was cut right in the shoulder. How sharp was his axe? Did it always look like that? It's guitar features were gone. The blade looked bigger. Izuku swung at All Might who dodged nearly effortlessly. All Might hit him again. He landed on a bridge over a fast lake. All Might was right behind him. Izuku ran again but All Might grabbed his leg and Izuku hit his face on the road. Izuku turned and tried to kick All Might in the weak spot again but he blocked. Izuku made eye contact with him. When did All Might get so damn scary. Izuku lifted his axe to swing again. All Might put his arm over his weak spot, only Izuku didn't go for the weak spot he slashed his own leg clean off. Looking back on it he knows that was probably a bad choice to make but it definitely made All Might freeze up. Izuku crawled away but of course he couldn't get away like that. All Might pinned him under his arm. He reared his arm back. Shit he was gonna go for the knock out. Izuku didn't focus on his hands, he focused on his eyes. Doing this hurt All Might. But not as much as it was gonna hurt him.
"I'm sorry." says All Might.
Izuku barely cranes his neck enough to get him out of the way. The ground beneath them cracked. So did the bridge's foundation. That much power had to backfire on him sometimes. This was one of those times as they both fell into the water below, along with a chunk of the bridge. It wasn't too big of a deal for All Might, for Izuku on the other hand who gets burnt by running water the way one would be by acid it was a very big deal. Izuku screamed in pain when he hit the water. He scrambled to the side of the lake and pulled himself up and out of the water. His regeneration was shot before he could get his leg back. He tried crawling away. If he could make it to the trees by the river he could turn into a bat and fly away. There was no way All Might could keep track of him there. It didn't matter how fast he is if he couldn't see him. But of course with his luck he saw All Mights shadow looming over him as he started to crawl towards the trees. He flips onto his back and glares at All Might. Blood blurs his vision. His forehead must have been cut. Rebar was stuck through his mostly intact leg. Maybe he could talk his way out of it. He's really fucked here. Maybe he could distract him for a minute.
"You remember this axe?" asks Izuku.
"... I do." says All Might.
"Kinda funny you're gonna be the death of both of us." says Izuku.
"I didn't mean to get him killed and you're not dying here." says All Might.
"Too bad. Cuz you did get him killed.. All to kill one guy. I'm gonna be honest. I'm not even sure All For One is dead." says Izuku.
All Might froze. That shook him. That shook him good. Izuku grabbed dirt and threw it into his eyes. When All Might got the dust out of his eyes Izuku was already flying through the trees. He got away but just barely. He made it back home… and he lost his keys. They were probably swept down the river. Damn shame. Izuku bangs on the door. He bangs again. Still nothing. He's laying on the floor with two useless legs and nobody could even open the damn door for him.
"DABI OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" shouts Izuku.
"Man what's your damage?" asks Dabi as he opens the door, "Where are you?" dabi steps forward… right onto Izuku's busted ribs.
"FUcK." says Izuku.
"Oh shit my bad." says Dabi.
"Could you drag me to the couch?" asks Izuku.
"Sure man. What even happened to you?" asks Dabi.
"I fought All Might." says Izuku.
Dabi stares at him, slack jawed.
"Are you okay?" asks Dabi.
"I cut my own damn leg clean off not twenty minutes ago. I'm pretty damn sure, I'm not okay." says Izuku.
"Alright that was a pretty dumb question that was my bad." says Dabi.
"It sure as hell was." says Izuku.
"What's all the hubbub?" asks Toga, "Holy crap. What happened to you?"
"I got All Mighted." says Izuku.
"You good?" asks Toga.
"You blind?" asks Izuku.
"My bad." says Toga.
"I can't do a whole lot of walking right now so why don't you come over here." says Izuku.
Toga walks over and Izuku kisses her thigh. He couldn't reach much higher. Toga smiles down at him.
"You look pretty from down here." says Izuku.
Toga notices the only times Izuku is super affectionate is when he's upset about something but she wouldn't mention it.
"You look good from any angle." says Toga.
"Well so do you but this angle does wonders for you." says Izuku.
"Not to bother you two but do you need somethin for that leg?" asks Dabi.
"Bring me whiskey." says Izuku.
"Sure, here you go big man." says Dabi.
"Would you mind cauterizing this for me." says Izuku, "It's cool if you don't wanna touch it. I could do it myself."
"It's cool. I've looted burnt corpses, this isn't the worst thing I've touched." says Dabi.
WOW that hurt like hell but Izuku kept his composure.
"Are you okay?" asks Eri.
When did she get here?
"I'll be fine. I'm just a little torn up. It'll grow back." says Izuku.
"Eri maybe you should go to your room for a minute." suggests Dabi.
"It's fine. Eri you've seen worse than this haven't you?" asks Izuku.
Eri nods yes.
"See it's fine. She can do what she wants." says Izuku, "Well i'm gonna go lie down for a while." says Izuku as he starts crawling over to the stairs.
"Buddy I could help you out a little." says Dabi.
"It's cool. Stupid Dabi. I'm ballin'." says Izuku.
Dabi and Toga make eye contact, nod and carry Izuku to his bedroom. He wasn't gonna patrol in broad daylight anytime soon.
Authors Note
I've had this idea for a chapter for a while. It's gonna add a layer of fear to Izuku. When heroes find out that he managed to escape from All Might he's gonna get a big target on his head. To succeed where the strongest failed would instantly make any hero famous and Izuku knows. Izuku knows endeavor would love a shot to do what All Might couldn't. What I really want at some point in the story is just this nearly unbearable pressure of being wanted and having the entire top ten heroes on Izuku's back, an entire Yakuza wanting him dead, and the worlds largest worldwide syndicate coming crushing down on him. Maybe I could have the Yakuza put a bounty on his head. The next chapter is gonna be about Izuku feeling stuck because he's missing a leg. He's gonna relieve himself of his boredom with music. Giran's gonna talk to him about where his music career is going because Present Mic really put him on the map. He's gonna go from semi popular musician to actual rock star. After all that Izuku's gonna go to Mexico and fight some crime with the luchador. At some point I wanna do more stuff with Dabi like a couple of chapters through his perspective. Like him stalking his siblings to see how they're doing. Or him looking for the hospital where his mom is kept. Or just talking with Izuku about his family.
I wanna talk about something with my writing. I'm not sure if it works but I like the idea of it. I usually don't dive into emotion a lot but I try to show how they're feeling through action. I don't know if I'm doing write. Like I read what I write and I understand what they feel but that's only because I'm writing it. I want to know if I'm doing a good enough job conveying emotion in the story. Other fics I read put a lot of emphasis on what characters are feeling so I've just been wondering if I'm doing something wrong. If I am I could try to make Izuku sing more and draw his emotion out that way.
I've suggested the idea of having Izuku get chased by the top ten. I'm probably gonna have him fight endeavor but I'm thinking about making him fight more than one of the top ten at some point. I'm thinking either hawks or Miruko. I'm open to suggestions on heroes he could fight. Maybe he could fight a couple of weaker heroes at the same time.
Another idea for a chapter that's been bouncing around in my head is Izuku and Bakugou getting pressured to go to a school festival by Mitsuki. As soon as Mitsuki leaves they'd be at each others throats. Izuku would be mad at all the people who act friendly with him now that he was on present Mic's talk show. Izuku would think they're super fake and just trashy people. Maybe even snap at one of em, not physically though. Toga could be there and maybe learn a little more about Izuku and why he's kinda closed off. Izuku would torment his teachers because he wants to and he thinks they suck. It could be a really fun chapter or a really depressing chapter. It could be a fun chapter that leaves Izuku depressed.
So you don't really need to read this paragraph at all but it'd be kinda cool if you did. Steven Universe ended and I loved that show man. It doesn't feel like it's been seven years since that first episode. I really can't put the show into words but it was a really fun ride. I've got that whole in my chest from something ending. You guys know the feeling. It's one of my favorite shows of all time and I love it.
Nykyrian: I actually agree that it's BS but that's kinda why I added it. I thought giving Izuku a weakness that completely screws him over could add complexity to a fight. Either with him powering through it or with him figuring a way around it. It kinda showed up this chapter but that was a large body of water like you described so it makes more sense on how it messed him up so bad. That and every vampire I'm gonna introduce is gonna have a terrible weakness similar to Izuku's. I hope it'll add something to the story.
