Chapter 6: Meeting All Might.
A/N: A friendly reminder that your character has named her attacks after different anime characters' attacks. So if you recognize the name of an attack that's why.
You and Toshinori talk animatedly with each other as Izuku continues to train. Toshinori always keeps one eye on Izuku though and will occasionally shout advice to the boy if needed.
You tell Toshinori about your life in America with him asking a question every once in a while. "When I was younger, I worked abroad in America for a year. I loved every moment of it." Toshinori tells you with a small smile on his face.
You hum in agreement, "It's a beautiful country, but I missed my family. Except for my deadbeat brother." You frown at the thought of your brother.
"Izuku's father?"
"Yeah, if you want to call him that after he bailed on his family. I prefer to call him something that's entirely inappropriate to say around polite company."
"Do you know what happened to him?" Toshinori asks curiously.
Your frown deepens and you lower your voice so that your nephew doesn't hear you. "I ran into him once about 8 years ago." You look down at the ground, ashamed. "I'm ashamed to tell you that I didn't behave very much like a hero that day, handsome."
"What happened?"
"I caught him torturing a quirkless child and nearly beat him to death."
Toshinori is silent for a moment, "I can understand how you could have gotten carried away in that situation." He looks in Izuku's direction, "But at least he's locked away now and you don't have to worry about him returning to hurt Izuku."
You furrow your brows, "That's just it...he isn't in prison." Toshinori looks over at you, "He managed to escape on the way to the prison. Nobody is sure just how he did it, but the guards escorting him were found unconscious and one of the guard's quirk was gone." Toshinori furrows his own brow in confusion and concern. "Not only that, but the little girl I found him torturing swore that she had a healing quirk, but when the doctors at the hospital tested her, the test showed that she was quirkless."
Toshinori scowls, "Is it possible that your brother has a quirk that can steal other people's quirks?"
You shake your head, "I don't think so or he would've stolen mine a long time ago." You decide to change the subject to something more cheerful, "So I know that we just met yesterday, but do you mind if I give you a nickname?"
Toshinori coughs up a small amount of blood before smiling at you. "Only if I'm allowed to give you one as well."
You laugh, "Of course, you can! Now I was thinking... sunflower-kun."
He looks at you in disbelief, "What! Why?"
You give him a large open mouth smile, "Because your hair reminds me of a sunflower." You pause and look at him more closely. You put the tip of your index finger against your chin, "But now that I think about it...your hair also reminds me of a lion's mane. So...Lion-kun?"
Toshinori quickly replies, "That one. Let's go with that one before you come up with anymore flower names."
You give him a wicked grin and say, "Too late...Dandelion-kun." Toshinori groans and puts a hand over his face in fake exasperation causing you to laugh. "I'm only teasing you, Toshi."
He removes his hand and smiles at you, "I know. I believe I'm already getting used to your eccentric behavior, (N/N)."
The two of you fall into a comfortable silence, broken only by the occasional shout of encouragement to Izuku. Finally, as the sun is starting to sink below the horizon, Toshinori tells the green haired boy that his training is done for the day. Izuku walks over to where you and Toshinori are sitting. He sits to the left of you with a bottle of water in his hands. He opens the bottle and takes a mouthful of the water.
"Now, Izuku-kun, I believe I promised you a little demonstration of my quirk." You stand up, give Izuku a huge smile, and ruffle his hair with your right hand.
Izuku's face lights up, "Okay!"
He and Toshinori stand up and follow you over to the broken down old truck. "Stay behind me and watch carefully, Izuku-kun." You widen your stance, planting your feet firmly in the ground with your left leg out slightly in front. You raise your arm and clench your fist. Focusing on the power resting inside of you, you concentrate on making the black armor cover your right arm, making your arm harder than diamonds. "Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Absolute Heaven!" you shout while throwing a punch at the truck. Your fist connects with the passenger side door of the truck and as it does you force your willpower into the truck causing it to violently explode, sending small pieces of metal and glass flying through the air in the opposite direction of where you are standing. The glass and scrap metal peppers the debris behind where the truck once was. There is now nothing left of the truck. You grin, "Ha! And that wasn't even a fully powered Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Absolute Heaven."
You turn around to face Izuku and Toshinori only to find them staring at you with open mouths. Toshinori is the first to recover, having been pulled out of his shock by a small coughing fit. He wipes the blood away from his mouth before saying, "And the America Hero Association made you retire even though you can still manage to do an attack like this?"
You shrug, still grinning, "Yeah. The AHA is more concerned about a hero's appearance than what they can do nowadays."
"Wow! That was awesome aunt (Y/N)!" Izuku shouts staring at you in awe, stars shining in his eyes. "Can I get a closer look at your arm when you're using your quirk?"
"Sure," you concentrate again and the black armor reforms over your arm. Izuku walks closer to you in order to examine your arm. He reaches out a hand to touch your arm, but hesitates. "It's okay, Izuku-kun, you can touch my arm."
As Izuku touches the black armor like substance covering your arm, Toshinori walks over to the two of you. "It's so smooth. I was expecting it to be rough like sand paper or something."
Your eyes meet Toshinori's and you give him a mischievous smile. In a low sultry voice you ask him, "Would you like to touch me, Toshinori? You're more than welcome to."
Toshinori's face turns bright red and blood spews from his mouth. He wipes his mouth with another tissue, "You're going to be the death of me." He teases you.
Izuku is so absorbed in examining your arm and muttering to himself that he doesn't notice your obvious flirting with Toshinori. Finally, Izuku seems to come back to Earth. "Can you cover other parts of your body with this armor or just your arm?"
You grin at Izuku and cover your entire body with the black armor. "I believe this answers your question."
"Wow! That's so cool!" Izuku begins to walk around you, muttering to himself again.
Toshinori reaches out with a slightly trembling hand and lightly brushes his fingertips over your arm. Once again, sparks shoot through your body and you shiver slightly in pleasure. There's a blush on Toshinori's face as his fingers brush across your arm. You stare into each other's eyes until Toshinori's phone starts to ring, 'A PHONE CALL IS HERE! A PHONE CALL IS HERE!' Everyone jumps slightlyat the sudden loud voice breaking the silence and your armor disappears. He apologizes before pulling out his red phone. "Hello?" He talks to someone on the other end for a couple of minutes before hanging up. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. Duty calls. Young Midoriya, All Might will be training with you tomorrow." Izuku nods and Toshinori turns to you, rubbing the back of his head nervously. "(Y/N), All Might wanted you to know that you are welcomed to join them tomorrow if you want."
"Actually, I was thinking about looking for an apartment tomorrow, but I might stop by for a little while in the afternoon. Anyway, we should be going too. It's starting to get dark and Inko is probably getting worried."
You and Izuku say goodbye to Toshinori and begin to walk home. As soon as Toshinori is sure that he is alone he transforms into his muscle form then jumps into the air in the direction of the municipal building to meet with his friend Naomasa Tsukauchi.
The next day, you wake up early and make breakfast for everyone. Inko insists on helping you, but you tell her that you have everything under control. So she and Izuku watch as you easily cook breakfast with just one arm.
After eating, Izuku rushes off to school, Inko has the day off so she decides to relax at home, and you leave to start looking for an apartment to rent.
While you are walking around Musutafu, you hear screaming and see a large crowd of people running towards you. Suddenly, a large chunk of concrete comes flying in your direction and is about to hit a couple of innocent civilians. You react instantly, rushing forward to intercept the slab of concrete, your arm turning black as you run. "Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Absolute Heaven!" You punch the concrete slab and it explodes into millions of tiny pieces. Looking ahead of you, you see a male villain in the process of destroying the next city block. He's about six foot two with long black hair, and what appears to be diamonds covering his skin. He's lifting a huge chunk of concrete over his head ready to crush a young woman with it. "How dare you try to leave me, you bitch! I'll kill you!" The diamond covered man yells as the woman cowers before him, sobbing.
"Hey!" The man turns his head to look at you. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!" He throws the concrete at you as you run at him, but you destroy it in a single punch and continue running.
As you're about to punch the diamond covered villain, there's a loud thud from behind you and you hear a deep male voice say, "Have no fear, citizens. Because I am here!"
"Kabutowari!" You shoutand your armor covered fist, now enveloped by a bright red light, connects with the villain's face. Your punch slams the villain into the ground, a small crater forming under him. He is now trapped between the ground and your fist. You force more of your willpower outwards and the red light around your arm intensifies. The ground starts to shake slightly and small fissures appear beneath the villain. His diamond armor shatters into a million pieces and he is rendered unconscious. You stop using your quirk and stand up straight.
A man clears his throat from behind you, "You must be Red Force."
You turn around and see a mountain of a man standing before you. His blue, red, white, and yellow costume is skin tight allowing the world to see each and every one of his huge, bulging muscles. His golden blonde hair is smoothed back except for his bangs which are standing up forming the shape of a V. His eyes are hidden by shadows, but there is a huge smile on his face. "Yep, that would be me. Looks like I beat ya to the punch this time, big guy."
His smile grows, "I see that you're taking retirement well."
You shyly grin at the huge man and rub the back of your head. "Uh, I kind of acted out of instinct when I saw that villain endangering people." You give a sigh of exasperation, "I guess retirement is going to be much harder than I thought."
He laughs loudly, "Honestly, I'm not surprised to see you here. From what young Midoriya and Toshinori told me about you, you seem like the type that has trouble just idly standing by when someone needs help."
"Guilty. So Toshinori's been talking about me, huh? That means he's been thinking about me." You grin, a blush on your cheeks.
All Might seems slightly unsure of what to say and you suspect that what he says next slips out by accident, "Constantly."
Your blush deepens at that. You hold out your hand for the enormous hero to shake, "So, you must be All Might."
"I am," he takes your hand in his massive left hand and familiar sparks travel through your body. You raise your eyebrows at this since you've only felt these sparks when you make skin to skin contact with Toshinori.
You're slightly surprised at how gentle he is while shaking your hand. "It's nice to finally meet you, All Might-sama." You release his hand.
The big man's face flushes red, "J...just A...All Might will be fine...There's really no need for s...sama."
You grin in amusement, "I beg to differ. I find sama to be very suitable for you, since you look like a Greek god."
The blush spreads across his face, "I was warned that you liked to flirt."
You wink at him, "I do, but I don't flirt with just any man. After all, I didn't flirt with him," you point down at the still unconscious villain, "and he was covered in diamonds." You hear police sirens approaching and see a couple of news vans coming to a stop not far away from where you and All Might are standing. You nervously rub the back of your head, "I don't suppose that I can ask you for a favor?"
He raises an eyebrow, "Sure. I'll be happy to help in any way that I can."
"Could you take the credit for capturing this villain? Since I'm technically retired, I'm not supposed to be doing hero work anymore." You see police cars pull up and the reporters rushing towards All Might. You start to speed walk away without waiting for his answer. You call over your shoulder, "Thanks, bunny-sama! See you later!"
