Sometimes, you just have to reach for the hand that's extended to you, even if that hand belongs to the devil. In an alternate universe where Izuku didn't find out All Might's secret nor get the chance to impress him, Izuku is given a choice. Izuku could get an honest shot at being a hero, but is he willing to pay the cost? Alt Power Izuku.

There was a foreign student in Class 1-A. She seemed to be a nice girl, was willing to use her abilities to help her friends, and often demand that nobody swear. Traits that were rather endearing. There was also a new staff in the U.A. alongside All Might. A woman who was willing to listen to her proteges' problems, no matter what it was. If only many know what they hide.

Deku, being the hero that he is, went up against Kurogiri in order to help All Might in his struggle with the Nomu. A teleport later and he already has to overcome an obstacle of a dragon. Taylor ignored the green haired kid's muttering as she stared in horror at Lung, who seemed pretty pissed at them both and was still growing. 'I can't back down here, I am a hero! I am DEKU'

Sometimes the path just isn't that easy to walk.
