The Maximum Hero

by Sweetleave

After a near-death experience in the woods as a child, Izuku is gifted the nanosuit. With powers he once thought impossible to possess Izuku will try his hardest to become a hero but first, he must master all the nanosuits abilities, and face the burdens that have come with it. TLDR: Izuku has the nanosuit

11. Chapter 11

Hey gals and gamers this chapter will be in a few different perspectives for once, then back to Izuku.I also misnamed some bones last chapter I called tibia tibula :( .

I decided I should respond to some comments as well so in order from oldest to most recent as of writing this predator bow will make a comeback in the future for sure. I also kind of prefer the nanosuit 1 design more than the N2 but I have stuff planned for the far future. I will correct Tsuyu wanting people to call her Tsu in the following chapters. The Ceph won't be a main threat or plot in this story but they will be mentioned and involved here and there in small ways. And finally I heard some time that 13 wasn't supposed to be a specific gender but I'll take your word and refer to her as female in the future. Also Izuku hit the literal mountain hard as shit so keep that in mind this chapter. I hope you all enjoy

The Maximum Hero: In the wake of the U.S.J

Can mice even drink herbal tea? Like it makes sense that they would be able to but if he remembers correctly if mice eat walnuts then they can get sick. Then again Principle Nezu is no ordinary mouse, bear creature thing so if he loves drinking tea then he won't question it anymore than he has. He can spend some more time here, finish catching his breath and hopefully catch the final 10 - 20 minutes of the lesson. That is if Nezu will stop lecturing him.

"How has the search for a successor been? I hope my idea of having you teach to find candidates has been fruitful." Nezu pours 2 cups of tea for himself and his guest.

"I don't think enough time has passed to get a good enough judge of their character, it is still the first week after all.", Toshinori grabs the cup of tea offered to him and takes a sip, it's good. But he wants this to be over soon so he can go to the U.S.J.

Nezu takes a sip of his own tea, "That is a fair enough point, what of the other candidates? I have heard Nighteye has a pupil in mind".

"I know of him… but I have yet to talk with Nighteye since that day all those years ago, and I would like my successor to be someone I choose. I know that may be selfish but until I am unable to find a successor on my own I will refrain from meeting his recommendation", he has no doubt that whoever nighteye has selected is a good person but this is something so personal he wants it to be someone of his own choosing.

Nezu shifts his posture to look directly at his guest, "Another thing you need to remember is you are a teacher now, there are plenty of heroes patrolling the city so you do not need to stop every single crime you see, you do not have much time left in your hero form after all what is it at now?"

Toshinori looks away, "Around 3 hours".

"You must make sure you separate All Might the hero and All Might the teacher, you have a responsibility to those children you know". Nezu finishes his cup of tea and sets it on the table in front of him, "Speaking of, you should get back to them and give some supportive final words, go ahead and use one of the school vehicles to save your quirk time you should get there just as the lesson ends."

"Thank you Nezu '', Toshinori puts his empty cup of tea on the table next to Nezu's.

"Good luck!", Nezu says as Toshinori leaves the room.

As he walks the hallway leading to the front entrance he thinks of the future of One for All, in the one lesson he has taught this week has there been any signs of a successor?

Some students have very powerful quirks, such as young Todoroki and Bakugou, but Todoroki doesn't have the spirit he is looking for and is much too serious, and Bakugou has…issues.

Yaoyorozu and Iida are very intelligent but are too serious and by the book, that won't inspire as many people as someone else could.

Uraraka, Kirishima, Ashido, and Kaminari are all bundles of energy but they may not be quite what the world needs once he is gone.

The remaining students have yet to do anything of note, well there is Midoriya but he only has his attention because his quirk is strange. It is almost like he has numerous quirks and if this was back in the day he would suspect All for One.

He finally reaches the door and leaves the building after walking for a few moments to the parking lot he hears what sounds like rapid, heavy footfall. Out of mild paranoia he transforms into his hero form, when he is finally able to get a look at the cause of the noise, is that… Young Iida?

"ALL MIGHT, ALL MIGHT, ALL MIGHT!", what started as faraway yelling becomes a loud plea as Iida stops in front of All Might.

"What is the matter young Iida? And why are you not with the others at the U.S.J?", something isn't right, no way Aizawa would send one of his students away on his own unless something has gone wrong.

"Huff huff, VILLAINS HUFF, VILLAINS AT THE U.S.J", Iida appears distraught and very out of breath.

"WHAAAT?!", how could villains have made it past their defenses?!

Iida takes another breath, "THERE ARE VILLAINS AT THE U.S.J THEY USED A PORTAL QUIRK AND DISABLED OUR COMMUNICATIONS, AIZAWA IS FIGHTING THEM ALONE AND THEY SEPARATED SOME OF MY CLASSMATES WITH THE PORTALS." Iida's face is of utter terror, he can only imagine how scared the boy was the entire run here.

"Iida, go to the principal's office and tell him about the situation, I will go ahead alone", if Iida said anything he wasn't able to hear it because once he finished talking he began to run full speed in the direction of the U.S.J.

These villains must be after him, why else attack Yuuei so randomly and directly when they never have before. But they dared, DARED to involve his students in this, they will receive no mercy, no jokes, and be put down, if any of the children are hurt they will pay the price.

In his rage it doesn't take very long to make it to the U.S.J, and when he arrives he kicks down the massive doors, removes his coat, and stands near the handful of students at the entrance.

He needs to calm his students but he is so angry right now he can't bring himself to smile, "HAVE NO FEAR, FOR I AM HERE".

Head starting to clear but thoughts still blurry, Denki can talk good and walk good but not think good, little more time and head be better.

"So he should get better soon right", Ojiro said to… someone.

"He brought up before that this happens whenever he uses his quirk too much in class so he should be fine", Yaoyorozu remembers.

Jiro tries to no laugh , "I w-wasn't expecting it to look this goofy though".

"I still hear you", Denki's voice is almost back to normal, he can now think fine but turning his thoughts to sentences is barely getting back to normal, "I think okay but talking hard to do, almost normal again".

"Hahahahaha!", Jiro doesn't stop her laugh and only covers it with her hands.

Yaoyorozu glances at Jiro as she laughs, "Even with the extra time it took us handling Kaminari we are nearly down the mountain, I suggest we go back to the entrance, evade any villains we encounter and see if any of our classmates and teachers are there".

"That sounds like a good idea but what about Midoriya? He left so suddenly and honestly I'm worried", the tailed teen says openly.

Denki feels his phone buzz, guess signal is back and he doesn't have to use his quirk to contact the school anymore. He pulls out his phone cuz why not, not like he'll get in trouble for it.

"You have your phone Kaminari? I thought we were supposed to leave them on the bus?" Ojiro asks the now restored blonde.

"If that was said I may have unconsciously tuned it out",Denki says in a voice that makes it clear he just ignored them. He has a text from Midoriya, that's strange he knows he left his phone on the bus like the goody two shoes he is.

"You guys left your phone too, right?" Ojiro looks at the two girls in attendance.

"Of course, I actually listen to my sensei when he talks", Yaoyorozu says, almost offended.

Jiro shrugs,"I didn't want to break mine".

"Ok looks like Kaminari is the only bad student here ha", Ojiro turns to Denki but his grin dies the moment he sees Denkis face drained of color.

"Midoriya is at the bottom of this mountain somewhere and he's very hurt. We have to find him", Denki says with no hint of his earlier weakened mental state.

"What? How do you know?" one of the girls asks.

Instead of saying anything he just holds out his phone so everyone can read the message for themselves, he makes sure to cover the previous messages as they are unrelated and stupid.

"At foot of mountain with heavy injuries, gonna black out, pls help"

His friend is hurt, he probably got beat up in a fight, what if the villains are still there?!

"What the hell happened to get him that hurt, HE FELL FROM A 12 BUILDING AND WALKED IT OFF", Ojiro practically screams the last part of the sentence.

The vice president's face is now one of concern and determination,"No matter the case we have to help him!".

Denki can't hear anything else that is said as he rushes down the trail down the mountain, they were practically at the bottom already so he makes it down in less than 5 minutes.

He sees nothing when he reaches the bottom so he looks back up to see if he can see where Midoriya had jumped from. From his angle he sees nothing so he runs forward until he can see more of the top of the mountain.

"What are you trying to do Kaminari", Jiro, having caught up, questions the blonde.

Denki responds while still looking up, "Trying to see where Midoriya jumped from, maybe that is near where he's at".

Yaoyorozu, who has also arrives, speaks, "it is over by that part of the mountain", she points to the right of where the trail down the mountain is. She is also wearing a new hero costume, how did he just notice that? Probably because he was braindead yeah.

"Let's go then!" Denki goes running forward with the others following behind him.

But before they even reach the bridge they run into their fallen comrade. He is lying on his stomach in front of a crater in the side of the mountain with a slightly deeper indent of the crater in the shape of his body. His quirk is still active and his arm is stretched out in front of him as if he was trying to crawl forward, or get back up, his chest is moving so slowly that it seems like it may not be moving at all.

What the hell happened to him to be thrown that hard into the mountain, Ojiro had said he almost won a 1v6 so whoever did this must be crazy strong.

"He's breathing but it sounds weird, like he isn't getting enough air" Denki says as he crouches next to his friend.

Yaoyorozu kneels down and puts her ear to his chest, "That's agonal breathing !". She places her hands on the side of Midoriya's body, "w-w-we have to administer cpr!", she starts to push the fallen class president over when Denki and Ojiro help her in doing so.

Yaoyorozu turns to Denki, "You're his friend, how do you take off the front of his helmet, I've seen him do it!"

Denki racks his brain.. OH the sides of his head! "There should be 2 buttons where his ears would be!".

Yaoyorozu finds the 2 buttons and presses them revealing Midoriya's face, said face is looking pale and sweaty.

Yaoyorozu looks around, obviously scared before muttering to herself, "S-so first there's 30 chest compressions- t-then 2 rescue breaths.". She then places her hands on Midoriya's chest and starts the compressions. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18".

"GUYS HIS HEART JUST STOPPED", Jiro practically screams with her earphone jacks in the ground.

"18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30", she then moves her hands to his face and lifts his chin, she begins to move her face to his when suddenly his visor snaps shut. "AHH" she screams in surprise and backs away a few feet, still on her knees.

"CLEAR AREA, CHARGING DEFIBRILLATOR"

"That's not Midoriya's voice." Denki quietly utters.

Denki, Yaoyorozu, Jiro, and Ojiro all stare in surprise and curiosity at their classmate's body as they hear what sounds like electricity charging coming from the suit.

"THOOM", his body twitches.

"THOOM", again.

"THOOM", again.

"UPPING VOLTAGE"

"THOOM", This time Izuku's body jerks upright as though suddenly energized.

"GET OFF ME", Izuku screams and swings his fist wildly in the direction of Yaoyorozu,thankfully she is far enough that the attack doesn't connect. He jumps to his feet and he glows red while in a stance prepared for battle. His breathing seems normal again if not a bit fast paced and he is slowly turning his head to face every person that is nearby. "Kaminari?".

Denki shakes off his shock from Izuku's outburst, he certainly wasn't expecting this but he was just knocked out so he was probably expecting villains. "Y-Yeah, it's me man don't worry there's no villains near us."

As if to spite him there is a massive gust of wind, Denki turns to the source of the wind just in time to see All Might's punching the large bird faced villain so powerfully that the villain is sent flying crashing through the top of the dome and out of the U.S.J. That was…something, it's crazy that someone can be so powerful, he knows All Might is the symbol of peace but seeing it in person is another thing entirely.

He turns back to his friend and Midoriya seems… off, he's staring at his right hand and grabbing his face with his left arm. He then seems to remember where he is and what is happening,"How did you guys find me?", Izuku asks the group.

Denki tilts his head in confusion, "You uh, sent me a text man".

"Oh yeah…yeah I did. We. We should get back to the entrance, it looks like All Might defeated the strongest villain", he turns to where All Might is, "and the rest of the heroes are here so the last conscious villains just portaled away."

Denki squints his eyes and yeah the rest of the heroes are in fact here, he feels his nerves unwind a bit.

"Are you okay Midoriya? You appear razzled and your message made it seem like you had serious damage", Yaoyorozu who is now standing up again says.

"Not to mention your HEART STOPPED", Jiro adds.

Ojiro includes his own observations, "You also fell from a 12 story building not too long ago".

"What we're trying to say is, it's okay if we take a breather here and just message our teachers or something, after what you've been through none of us would blame you, I mean yeah, your heart just stopped" Kaminari gently says.

Midoriya lifts his hands to his face like he is going to lift his helmet then stops and puts them back down, that was strange. "I'll live,I can make it to the entrance", everyone looks at him with heavy doubt, "I promise". The four teens begrudgingly decide to trust Midoriya and they walk back to the entrance.

At the pace they are walking it takes them around 15 minutes for them to make it back to the front gate, with Kaminari occasionally looking at Izuku in concern.

"HEY, are you guys okay?!", Uraraka runs up to them, "I was so worried, everyone else made it here a while back!"

Kaminari turns to Midoriya who is being surprisingly quiet, "Hey go outside I can see some ambulances".

"Hm? Oh okay yeah i'll go", he then walks off in the direction of the broken front doors.

"Hey what's up with Deku?", the gravity girl asks.

"I dont know he's been like this ever since we found him knocked out at the bottom of the mountain", Denki mentions.

"EVER SINCE YOU WHAT?!"

"Oh I should fill you in on everything that's happened, well after I was teleported-"

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

"Its time", A deep masculine voice echoes in an empty space

"Are you sure?", Another more typical male voice questions.

"Yes, he must remember before the fear of the unknown consumes him…but first, a peek into the consequences of others learning that truth"

The dark empty void shifts and morphs until he finds himself standing in front of a large metal door that slides open, in his arms his a SCAR primed and ready. This is a memory, he knows because of the details and the fact he can't move freely, he is more of a passenger right now.

Once the doors are fully open a bald man that has a similar weapon enters the room first, he silently walks to the side of the room to give him space to enter.

Inside the room is a sight he will never forget, this may be a memory but it is so vivid it's as though he is experiencing it himself. Throughout the room are bodies, on the ground 3 corpses dressed for surgery spread throughout the room, but that isn't what will stick with him even if it is horrific. No, on the table near the center of the room is someone in a nanosuit almost identical to his, there are a few small differences but overall they are a match.

The nanosuit is torn open, revealing red, exposed, strained flesh, the table is bloody with equipment also on the table. Izuku figures that the fallen man managed to fight off the surgeons on the floor around them before he also succumbed to his damage. The man's face is devoid of life and is shaped with eternal agony, the pain he must've felt is something Izuku prays he never experiences. Is this what will happen if other people learn that the nanosuit isn't really a quirk?

"You murdering CELL bastards… I'm gonna make you FUCKING PAY. YOU BASTARDS, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YA?!". The bald man kicks a yellow container across the room, he paces back and forth and his face is visibly trembling with rage.

"Psycho?", the person whose memory this is…no… Prophet says.

"If I could find the cell bastard that did this I'd kill him", Psycho walks past him, "Come on".

They both walk out the room and stand side by side at the entrance of the door opposite to the room.

Psycho speaks into his mic, "This is it, Claire. Open the door", another voice, female, says something that he doesn't catch in time

They both enter the room and move their flashlights around to get a good look around. There are wires hanging from the ceiling leading to a circle with 4 mechanical arms, under the arms is what seems to be a sort of medical table in the shape of a man. Other than that there are other tables, barrels and screens in the seems…hesitant to continue, "You Alright?".

At once everything stops moving and the same voice as before returns actually… this voice is still Prophet,"No, he doesn't need to know about this, let's skip ahead."

What is it they want him to see, was the corpse of a nanosuit not the main sight?

The scene skips forward and he is now slowly sitting up from a laying down position.

Psycho is on a keyboard with a glass screen in front of him, "What's this?"

The female voice returns from the mic, "Micheal, you shouldn't. Don't".

"Why not?"

"It won't help."

On the wall in front of him a screen flickers to life, Psycho turns and watches as it plays, "...Seperation. The nanosuit is then fully removed", a scream sounds off screen, it is filled with pure agony. " Subject 8a, sergeant Micheal Sykes, is still functioning at near optimal levels, but accelerated degradation is to be expected". That voice is, it's the same voice as the one that was just on their mics!

The camera pans to the face of the person screaming and… it's Psycho, he's in what looks to be a nanosuit but based on the contents of the video it is being painfully removed. Psycho turns from the camera to face the computer screen, "You… You did this to me."

The face on the screen scrunches in shame and guilt, "Micheal, please listen to me. You're the reason why, I fight cell because of you. Because-"

Psycho cuts her off mid sentence looking angry but more so…betrayed,"Is that why you cared? Or were you pretending to care? Because of this? Because of your own fucking guilt?" He gestures to the still playing video behind him as he speaks.

"I didn't have a choice Micheal! The cell program we were in debt, you know how this works! I was forced to do this, to all of those people", she's pacing now clearly disturbed by the memories of what she had done. "I…I had to listen to their screams day after day. I know what I did, Jesus, believe me I know. And I'll have to carry that with me for as long as I live, every day of my life". She waits a moment but there is no reply, "Micheal!"

"And feeling bad makes it alright, does it?"

"...micheal?"

"If you're so fucking sorry Claire, how come I had to find out like this? Why didn't you just come clean? You lying fu-", before he has time to finish his sentence he is interrupted.

Prophet must've finally felt it was time to say something, "Psycho listen to me. You know how it works and you know she didn't have a choice. She did what she had to do."

Psycho turns to Prophet and takes a strong step forward, "No choice? Just doing what she's told? Just following orders? Who the fuck does that sound like Prophet?". He begins to pace back and forth and points towards Prophet, "I'll tell you one thing though, she was right about you might as well be a -"

Again the memory stops but why?

One of the voices returns, this time the more casual sounding one…is it Alcatraz? "Lets not overwhelm him with too much at once, that can wait for another day".

"That is probably for the best, then time for him to remember the day this all began, the day of our sacrifice", Prophet agrees and the scene shifts for what he hopes is the final time.

Instead of a cold, poorly lit building he is back in the woods… these are the same woods he would play in as a kid! Is this… his memory?

The memory stabilizes and it is his memory! But which one and why is it important? He stopped coming to these woods once he… wait when did he stop coming to these woods? Was it when his eyes first changed colors or before?

In this memory he is in a river …after Kacchan pushed him, he is starting to remember now they were playing and Kacchan fell, when he tried to help him he pushed him down into the river.

He is walking through the forest now likely looking for the entrance but after not finding it he continues to walk around which succeeds in only getting him more lost. Izuku feels a sense of foreboding work its way into his chest, even though he is not in control of this body he wants to force himself to turn and leave.

Memory Izuku suddenly stops walking and turns to see a beast of pink and metal, a ceph stalker, slender with an aura of danger and something primal. It is staring him down and… he… He remembers.

He wants to turn and run. He wants to stop the ceph stalker from attacking him. He wants to leave this memory. But he can't. He can't do anything but watch as the ceph attacks him and leaves him on the verge of death.

In the blink of an eye his perspective changes and instead of looking through his eyes he's now looking through the eyes of Prophet, he knows because he can see the nanosuit over his arms as he runs. As Prophet he sees the ceph attacking a young Izuku before he runs up and throws… a bow? Over his shoulder where it lands atop a tree, Prophet then punches the ceph stalker so hard his fist gets forced through and breaks a nearby tree. The ceph then rusts and begins to degrade as it no longer wields life.

Prophet looks down and Izuku is able to see the damage that was done to him as a child, he has cuts, slashes, and stabs all over his body but he immediately notices the absence of his right hand, it's just gone, did the ceph…eat it?

Then there are two large slices down his midsection, some parts are so deep you can see things he shouldn't be seeing, one of the cuts slashed and popped his eye. Is…Is this why that eye is blue? Stab wounds are too many to count but one is exceptionally large and has likely punctured his lung. How did he survive this?

As if to answer that question Prophet places his hand on Izuku's chest and the nanosuit somehow… begins to move off of his body like sludge and move onto Izuku. The nanoparticles are filling in all the wounds and returning the color to his face, but it isn't forming into the nanosuit? He guesses it is focused on healing and life support not actually being a suit, maybe that's why he didn't notice it for so long.

The man in the suit speaks, but it sounds like Alcatraz not Prophet,"Izuku, right, that's your name? Izuku...Destiny's a bitch, huh? It'll be on you now, son.", past Izuku's eyes flutter open and new memories flood his mind, he remembers this now too.

"What is currently happening to you is too complicated to explain now so all i will say is that we are giving you a gift to save your life, it"ll also make you one badass mother fucker. And don't worry, you won't remember any of this until the suit integration is complete, you don't need to remember any of this for now, it'll just cause you intense trauma". That explains why he is only now remembering all of this.

But now he remembers all of it, the fear he felt, the pain from the attack, even now it's running through his head on repeat.

"What's happening?"

"His own consciousness is overpowering what we are showing him!"

A flash of light and Izuku is back under the attack of the stalker, it is so much more vivid now, as if he is no longer in a mental backseat but actually under attack. The speed at which the monster moves is blinding and Izuku doesn't even have time to register the pain from one attack before several new injuries are painfully created.

In an instant there is one last flash of light along with what feels like pure energy flowing through his body. The scenery melts away, there is a new environment but the fear of the ceph assault is still in his mind. He is now in control of his body so he swings his arm blindly before his vision is even restored, he screams, "GET OFF ME".

MAXIMUM STRENGTH

Izuku readies himself for combat but then his vision begins to clear and he realizes he isn't being attacked by the stalker and he is instead… back at the USJ, he looks around as his eyes fully adjust, is that, "Kaminari?"

Kaminari seems nervous but he supposes he did just scream at them to get off him, "Y-Yeah, it's me man don't worry there's no villains near us."

A huge blast of wind slams into them and tries to push them back, Izuku snaps his head to the source to see All Might firmly setting his fist into the same villain that sent him into the mountain. And sends it flying. It once again serves as a reminder to Izuku that even with this, this.. suit he won't be able to match the symbol of peace.

Speaking of this suit, it saved his life, and it replaced his hand and eye! Are they even still flesh and blood, or were they replaced… like a spare part. Izuku grabs his head with his left hand and looks at his right hand between his fingers. Is he even fully human anymore, or is he some sort of cyborg? A human, machine mix?

Now is not the time or place he is super injured and in the middle of a villian attack, well said villain attack should be over now that All Might just defeated the most powerful one. Now he has to stay with Kaminari, he looks around, there's Ojiro, Jiro, and Yaoyorozu as well. How..did they find him, the last thing he remembers is viewing all of his injuries. He turns to his classmates, "How did you guys find me?"

Kaminari stares at Izuku, confused, "You uh, sent me a text man".

He pauses a moment trying to remember, he did send a text just before he fell unconscious yeah, and they should get out of here "Oh yeah…yeah I did. We. We should get back to the entrance, it looks like All Might defeated the strongest villain", he turns to the main entrance, "and the rest of the heroes are here so the last villains just portaled away."

He needs to get home and think about what he just learned, he feels as if he is on the verge of a panic attack and he needs to be alone when it hits, oh they are talking to him he should listen.

"- okay if we take a breather here and just message our teachers or something, after what you've been through none of us would blame you, I mean yeah, your heart just stopped" Kaminari says with a face of understanding.

Izuku figures he should look him eye to eye to calm him down, so he lifts his hands to remove his visor.

WARNING: REMOVAL OF VISOR WILL DECREASE SUIT RESTORATIVE CAPABILITIES.

Okay not going to do that, he lowers his hands, "I'll live, I can make it to the entrance", they all have faces that show they clearly don't believe him, "I promise". That helps.

The walk back is spent with Izuku holding back his panic and fighting his brain from thinking too hard about the things he saw, he effectively turns into a moving zombie.

"Hey go outside, I can see some ambulances". Oh, they are already at the entrance, huh all the heroes are here as well.

…He is pretty hurt and he still doesn't know if the nanosuit can completely heal him "Hm? Oh okay yeah I'll go".

Izuku walks to the outside past all the heroes and students that are talking to the heroes that occasionally stare at him before they seem to remember he is also a student and turn away. Where are the ambulances again, he looks around but he must've been walking the wrong way because he can't see any from here, Kaminari said they were outside right? So they should be here?

"Hello there my student! Are you searching for something?", a squeaky cheerful voice asks.

Izuku quickly turns and looks down at the voice, it's some sort of mouse, bear, mongoose hybrid, "I was looking for the ambulances".

The creature's face morphs into concern, "Oh dear, were you injured? I'm sorry I couldn't tell since you have your quirk active Midoriya".

Izuku is curious now, who is this being, how does he know him?

The furry critter grins, "Curious how I know your name?", he correctly guesses, "It's because I am principal Nezu! Aizawa didn't take your class to orientation so I wont hold your lack of knowledge against you". He gestures behind him, "The ambulances are on the other side of the entrance not here, follow me I will lead you to it".

"Thank you".

"It isn't a long walk so I will only ask you one question before we arrive, are you feeling alright? I realize this can all be very overwhelming", the principal genuinely asks.

Izuku decides to be mostly honest here, "I am a bit shaken, all of this was so sudden and being forced to fight villains so soon into our time here at Yuuei was… unexpected but I'm holding up alright."

The ambulance comes into view and Nezu walks ahead of Izuku to greet Recovery girl and inform her of the oncoming student. Kirishima is there too, his arm healed with some bandages and looking very tired. "HEY MIDORIYA", he quickly goes up to him, "Are you okay? You got sent flying. I was about to tell the heroes about you since I haven't seen you."

Before Izuku has time to respond Recovery girl hobbles over to him and moves Kirishima aside, "Move aside sonny I need to take care of him too". She looks up to the green haired teen, "I'm going to need you to deactivate your quirk so I can look at the damage on you and use my quirk son"

Izuku winces and takes a sharp inhale, if he does that odds are he falls to the ground and maybe even dies. He considers lying for a second but then he figures that he can't just have his quirk on 24/7 with no explanation that will cause questioning eventually, might as well get ahead of it.

He takes a steady breath, "I'm sorry but I can't do that".

"Why is that?", Nezu not Recovery girl, asks.

"I um… got in a few fights today and because of that I am. . . I am littered with injuries, and I've recently learned my quirk has a sort of healing ability umm… and that may or may not be what is keeping me alive right now". Izuku nervously gives a quick explanation.

"WHAT", Kirishima screams, "ARE YOU SERIOUS HOW ARE YOU STANDING RIGHT NOW, I DIDN'T-"

Nezu sternly cuts in, "Kirishima quiet down and go with the others".

"What? How can I leave after that?!".

"I am your principal and you will listen to me, now go" Nezu's voice leaves no room for argument so with a huff Kirishima leaves.

Recovery girl points to the ambulance behind them, "Take a seat and explain, in detail, what happened to you and all the injuries you have".

Izuku listens and sits down on the edge of the ambulance, he is starting to regret telling them anything. He reviews the damage done to him.

INJURIES: 8 BROKEN RIBS, 1 FRACTURED RIB, OBLIQUE FRACTURE ON LEFT HUMERUS, TRANSVERSE FRACTURES ON RIGHT FEMUR AND TIBIA, TRANSVERSE FRACTURE ON LEFT CLAVICLE, GREENSTICK FRACTURE ON STERNUM, THORACIC VERTEBRAE FRACTURE T5-7 & 11.

Wait, wasn't there 2 more cracked ribs and internal bleeding and he feels like there was a compound fractures? The nanosuit must be patching him up better than he expected.

"Midoriya, we need you to tell us the extent of your injuries", Nezu insists.

Izuku hesitates one final time before finally revealing the details of his damage, "Okay. I have 8 broken ribs, 1 fractured rib, an oblique fracture on my left humerus, transverse fractures on my right femur, right tibia, and left clavicle. Then I have a greenstick fracture on my sternum, and thoracic fracture on my T5-7 & 11." , Izuku reads off his visor so he can keep his info accurate, "Oh I should mention that there were more broken ribs and compound fractures before but looks like that's been fixed up.".

The two adults stare at Izuku in silence, it's clear that they are in disbelief but Nezu is the first to recover from the shock, "I need you to tell us exactly what has happened to you".

Izuku thinks about how he should say it but honestly he just wants to be anywhere else right now, a change of scenery would help his restless mind from thinking about the things he's learned today. "Can I not say it here, I just need some space from all of this before I talk about it again… please".

Recovery girl apparently remembers that Izuku is still just a student, "Of course dear, you can ride in the back of the ambulance back to the school where you can tell us about this in the infirmary, there are no more students that have injuries so we can go now."

"I will also be there so please wait for me to arrive before giving your full statement", Nezu then quickly walks off back to the inside of the U.S.J.

Izuku steps into the back of the ambulance as Recovery girl makes her way over to the front.

The ambulance moves after a few minutes and the rumbling of the road soothes his mind allowing him to finally think about the memories of today. Before getting to the real things he wants to consider he should try and get all the details of the day in order. So the first thing that happened was he was separated and attacked by 5 people, there was Mai, Shimo, aaannnd shit he can't remember the other name. He should just revisit the memory ok so he landed on the roof and heard them talking before he saw them, then he stood up and the first one he saw was the short woman? Or the tall one? It'd be nice to have a photographic memory.

VIDEO RECORDINGS AVAILABLE

He really shouldn't be getting surprised at these new features anymore but damn it he can't help it. Ok so he should investigate that really quick, so he uses a mental command so the nanosuit can elaborate on the new discovery.

RECORDINGS: All visual and audio received by the nanosuit since primary activation and all following activations have been stored by the nanosuit have been categorized in order of recordings according to the day, month, and year of recording. Recording is not a direct function of the visor as it is passive during activation, however upgrades can have recording be ongoing 24/7.

That. Is. So incredibly useful. So he can just access these whenever he should try it out, so he just accesses the recordings and ha, it's built like a phone gallery that's fun. Mental commands don't work with navigation so it's 'touch' based, using his hands he swipes at the air in front of him then taps on today's date. The recording begins when he activated the nanosuit because of the shadow villain, he skips through the video by grabbing the progress bar and moving it to the right, and it gets everything yeah, not the memories he had while he was unconscious though.

Okay that will come in handy later when explaining everything time for the real things he wants to spend time on. First thing on his mind is he finally remembered how he gained the nanosuit, and it also explains his eye color, which makes sense considering he can use visor functions from it. But he was banged up and there is no doubt that if not for Prophet and Alcatraz he would've died.

Now he just wants to know if his hand and eye are even still his own, a true Theseus paradox, he figures it could be his own flesh since everything registers as if nothing is different. Then again his hand was literally sliced off and he doesn't remember seeing Prophet reattach it or anything and his eye was pretty much torn mush.

He stops his thought process, he doesn't need to question his entire existence now, that can still wait until he gets home. The second thing on his mind is the reason he fears telling anyone about the nanosuit, speaking off as of now he knows the nanosuit has been around since at least the Ceph invasion but if the magazine is to be believed then since 2020. Prophet, Psycho,and Alcatraz are clearly call signs, probably military so the nanosuit is military in orgin. Lastly, again if the magazine is to be believed the nanosuit was directly involved in the Ceph invasion which he is believing more since that gives Prophet a reason to hunt down the remaining Ceph. The only large detail he doesn't know is who is Alcatraz, from his understanding Prophet was the first nanosuit operator and gave Alcatraz the nanosuit, but in the memories it seemed like Prophet was the one in control so where does Alcatraz come into play?

Back to his fears, how valuable is the nanosuit that all past operators have been killed or as the memory displayed, forced to have their nanosuits violently removed. If he tells principal Nezu, the police, or anyone then will they also try to take the nanosuit? WAIT, there were voices that were controlling the memories, are they… in the suit with him?!

Izuku places both his hands on his head, are there ghosts in his mind? Why has he never heard them before? Can they control what he sees? Control his actions? Are his choices even his own?! Damn it he wanted to wait until he got home before this happened but he can already feel his breaths getting heavier and chest tightening.

The ambulance comes to a stop and the jolt of the stop snaps him out of his downward spiral. He calms himself down and waits for the back doors to open.

The door slowly opens and Recovery girl is there using her cane to reach the handle, "Okie dokie here we are, follow me and I'll lead you to the nurse's room".

Recovery girl leads and walks pretty fast for someone her age, it's almost funny since she is almost running and Izuku is just walking with slightly larger strides.

Once inside they go over to and enter an elevator, once inside recovery girl speaks, "On the way here I contacted one of the students that is in our medical program, her quirk, X-lluminate, allows her to illuminate someone's full skeleton and blood vessels similar to an x-ray or MRI so we can see any breaks or tears in your body. Normally we could just use x-rays, MRI's and the like but your quirk could interfere with the scans".

Izuku figures that makes sense the nanosuit would for sure mess with scans but there is one thing he didn't expect. "We have a medical program?"

The heroine gives him a glance, "Oh yes obviously you wouldn't know about that yet, if students either have a quirk that could assist medical practices or that have an interest in the medical field there is a course they can take that consists of classes and working with me in the infirmary. By the end they will have some certifications and experience to allow them to work in hospitals, out in the field or further their education if they so desire."

…Wow Yuuei is so much more than a hero school after all, he always assumed as much but this is just a nice confirmation.

"Here we are ",she gestures to the door, "go inside and my student should be there by now, she'll let you know what to do, I will go and locate Principal Nezu.", she shoos him inside and walks off.

Izuku walks in and looks around and it's a pretty normal sized room honestly, there are 4 beds in the back half of the room, 2 on either side with curtains between them. The front half has a desk and computer, next to it is a weight scale and a stadiometer the other side of the wall has a large shelf with bed sheets, pillows, crutches, a sharps container, and a gross its a bedpan, finally next to the shelf is a door.

All interesting stuff but where is the student he's supposed to meet?

As if on cue the door next to the shelf opens, "Midoriya?".

It's Hirose! She's wearing some medical scrubs with the Yuuei logo on chest and left shoulder. He should greet his friend, "Hey Hirose!"

"Yasuho, you saved my life you can call me Yasuho remember", the girl says

"Y-Yasuho, you never mentioned you went to Yuuei!", he finishes.

Yasuho chuckles and walks up to him, "It never came up, we didn't really talk about school", she points at a bed, "Sit here please, and you haven't been to the shop since the incident." She clasps her hands together behind her back and gently sways back and forth, "I've missed your company…"

Izuku had just sat down on the bed when he heard her say that, "Uh I- Well that's because-" oh god what's going on, this isn't happening. Izuku feels his face heat up under his visor and heart rate rise, he wasn't even this nervous when he was fighting villains!

Thankfully Izuku is given an out from this situation he doesn't know how to handle. "Sorry for the wait Izuku, I had to get the other students settled and contact your mother before coming."

The mention of his mother frightens Izuku, there is no way she will be calm if she arrives and he is still badly injured. Hopefully the school can speed up his healing process.

Nezu walks inside with Recovery girl behind them, there is one other person though, a tall very skinny blonde man with blue sunken eyes, he is wearing a white t-shirt and pants along with some bandages around his ribs and arm. He notices Izuku staring at him, "Hello young man, I work with the school and I'm here to write down some things you know about the incident, and I'm not a hero,and these bandages aren't from the villain fight. I uh just fell down some stairs the other day ha".

Izuku does not believe that excuse in the least but sees no reason to question it.

Nezu and Recovery girl pull 2 stools from the desk and stand on either side of the bed, the tall man stands behind them and Yasuho is standing by his side

"Midoriya can you lie down on your back please", Recovery girl requests.

Izuku does as asked and lies down on the bed.

The elder woman then turns to Yasuho , "Please use your quirk on him and Midoriya don't move until I say".

Yasuho's hands glow a slight blue and then she places her hands on the top of Izuku's head, he feels a cool sensation fill his body, but it's not uncomfortable. It's like he just entered a pool of water slightly colder than his body temperature and he has to adjust.

There is a heavy gasp and Izuku can feel the hands on his face shake, a quick look at Yasuho reveals a face filled with worry and shock.

"Hirose focus we need to completely view all breaks and cracks", Nezu reminds the frightened girl.

...

...

"O-oh dear Midoriya how are you still moving? And you don't seem to be in any pain", Nezu is the first to speak.

"I honestly don't feel a thing I could probably still fight and run but that'd probably slow my healing down", Izuku honestly answers.

Recovery girl surveys his bruised and broken body while holding a phone taking some pictures, "All the injuries you told us about are still there but there are small dark lumps on any bone breaks, connecting split bones which could speed recovery time, your blood vessels have similar clumps on various areas so there is no internal bleeding. Another thing of note is your right hand is a shade darker than any of your other bones. If it is to be assumed that these are the working of your quirk then it is very fascinating".

"Midoriya, could you please tell us what you experienced today?", the lanky blonde gently asks.

If he has video recordings then he should be able to send them as well right? "Actually it would be better if i just showed you all, can I have one of your phone numbers?", he asks the adults in the room.

Nezu smiles and "This should be interesting I'll give you my number Midoriya it is XXX-XXX-XXXX"

"Okay give me a minute please and can I move now?", Midoriya asks, he wants to sit up lying so still is starting to get uncomfortable around other people.

"Oh yes I gathered all the information I need, sorry Hirose but can you wait in the other room please", Recovery girl says and Yasuho gives a quick bow before going to the door next to the shelf and entering.

The chill feeling leaves his body and Izuku goes to the recording function on his visor, once at the video of today he simply does what he would do when cropping videos on his phone. He speeds up all things that don't relate to combat to last only a few seconds each, since nothing important was really said during his conversation with Ojiro or while he ran from place to place. That leaves the initial portal travel, the following fight and fall, then him knocking out that one villain that was in his an Ojiro's way, another cut to show him saving Kaminari when he was held hostage followed by one last quick cut to him reaching Aizawa, carrying him to safety and the final battle he had with the villain and his defeat.

To do all this he sits up and begins maneuvering the video with his hands, this causes the others in the room to look at him with mild confusion but it only lasts for a minute as Izuku edits rather quickly. He then goes to communications and instead of selecting one of his known numbers he inserts a new one and adds the video as an attachment and sends it. With the speed of connection it sends in no time at all.

"Ah it seems I have received a message from N2 is this you?" Nezu questions.

"Yes turns out my quirk documents everything it sees and it has connected to my phone is some ways so i can send messages as well", Izuku answers

Nezu stares at the boy, "Your quirk has quite a few abilities I see", the stranger in the room also gives Izuku a particularly strong look.

"Y-Yeah"

"Well it is useful so let us watch this documentation", Nezu messes with his phone that isn't any brand Izuku recognizes. After a few more presses a decent sized projection emits from the phone similar to the projection he received from his Yuuei letter, must be the same brand or technology.

Izuku remains on the bed in his sitting position as the others watch the video, he doesn't need a reminder so soon. Instead he just takes the time to do nothing. No mental reflections, no worrying about the future no, for these next minutes he simply relaxes his head and muscles and with a deep sigh he empties his mind and closes his eyes.

Izuku must've fallen asleep because he wakes up to Recovery girl poking him with her syringe cane over and over, he gently shakes his head to bring himself back to full awareness.

She notices his head lift up and talks, "We finished the recording and now we have to decide how to move forward",

Izuku turns to Nezu and the stranger, Nezu's face is downcast with thinly concealed rage and the other guys for some reason looks guilty?

Principal Nezu steps down from his stool and gives him a deep bow," Midoriya I on behalf of the school and myself, I apologize for all you endured on this day, had I not slowed down All Might with tea when he arrived to school late due to stopping villains, then he would have been there sooner and you would have a fraction of the injuries you currently have".

Izuku is honestly surprised, he's so used to principles blaming him for getting hurt and berating him for his actions when it was never his fault and always just bullies who went too far for them to ignore. Once he had to miss school for a week because he was so bruised and burned and all the principal had to say was 'stop being so careless and getting hurt' and he stopped trying to ask for any sort of help after that. But this… is not that in any form this is a genuine apology and he isn't even truly to blame.

"...Thank you… I wasn't expecting an apology from you, after all you had no way of knowing about the invasion so please, raise your head I don't need an apology", Izuku is feeling his own guilt, there is no real reason for Nezu to be bowing.

"I know you don't know me but I would like to say you did insanely well and managed to save not only Kaminari but also Bakugo, even though saving Bakugo is what got you so hurt but you made that split second decision and saved him.", the man seems impressed? But a good first impression is important so that's cool.

"Toshinori is correct, once again on behalf of the school and myself, thank you for your actions today", Nezu continues with his head now raised.

"I just did what any hero would have done", Izuku admits.

"You did what any true hero would have done" the skinny man corrects.

Recovery girl taps Izuku on the shoulder to get his attention again, "Midoriya, you said your quirk is currently keeping your condition stable and preventing you from feeling any pain, correct?"

"Yes it is, it also apparently restarted my heart when Kaminari found me after I got hit by the Nomu", Izuku notes

"Your heart stopped? Oh my goodness, ahem I was going to say then if i use my quirk on you while you have it active then it can continue to heal you afterwards, you can remove your mask area yes?", she makes sure.

"Yes I can", Izuku raises his hands to the sides of his head and thankfully no warning signs this time that's good, so he clicks the sides and reveals his face.

"Oh honey your face is so pale, Nezu, are we sure this will work?", she cautiously asks.

"Based on what he has told us and what we have seen, I trust that his quirk will keep him protected", Nezu states, Izuku doesn't like how he said quirk but not the time.

"Okay come here Midoriya", the medical hero then stretches her lips to an insane degree and gives Izuku a kiss right on his cheek.

Izuku feels his very bones begin to shift and mend before he quickly gains the need to sleep, but just as quickly it settles and he is left only a bit more tired than before.

FURTHER NUTRITION NEEDED, FOODS RICH IN CALCIUM, IRON, PROTEIN, AND VITAMIN D RECOMMENDED.

"Any negative changes son?", Recovery girl gently says.

"No not really, but my quirk can't keep healing me unless I eat some food rich in nutrients like calcium, iron, protein, and vitamin D, that and I feel a bit more tired", Izuku notifies.

"Ah i can help with that, I will go to Lunch Rush and get some food for you," The bandaged man offers.

"Ah thank you Toshinori, that is very helpful", Nezu thanks.

Toshinori leaves the room and Recovery girl makes her way over to the door near the shelf, once there she knocks on and opens the door, "Hirose dear can you come back please we need you again".

As they wait for her to return Nezu speaks to Midoriya, "We are going to use Hirose's quirk to see how much you have healed with the use of Recovery girl's quirk, then we can try and figure out how long it'll take for you to recover".

"I'm here, do I use my quirk again?", Yasuho asks her medical teacher.

"Yes please", the elder says.

Yasuho once again moves to Izuku's side and once he lies back down she places her hands on his head, the same chill feeling fills his body and Nezu and Recovery girl step on the stools once more.

"This is quite surprising", Nezu proclaims.

"Yes it is", the old woman agrees, "Normally my quirk would only speed up his healing process with however much energy he has and in turn leave him tired, I thought he would fall asleep immediately in all honesty with only bones being straightened out. But this is a significant amount more than I thought possible, all your bones are realigned and some of them have signs of mending back together already or are completely healed".

Izuku decides to risk talking, "how long do you think my healing will take then?"

"I do not feel comfortable giving you another dose of my quirk now, but after you eat and get some rest I can, and if all goes well you should be back with everyone else in class on saturday" She answers.

"Saturday?" Izuku questions.

Nezu takes this as his cue to answer, "Yes, class has been canceled for tomorrow so we can upgrade our defenses and allow your class to take some time to themselves."

"Oh! That makes sense."

"Anyway that should be everything, we don't have to ask you any questions since we have these wonderful recordings you have provided so we will leave you here until Toshinori returns and you get some rest for further healing", Nezu speaks while he moves his stool back to where he got it from.

In an instant the door slams open, "MYY BAAABBBYYYY", a tearful Inko Midoriya runs into the room and goes to hug Izuku before stopping herself, "C-Can I hug you or are you too hurt?"

Even if he is hurt, whatever pain he might feel is worth it, "You can hug me gently mom".

That is all she needs to hear so she stops holding herself back and engulfs her son in the most gentle,caring hug she can manage with tears streaming down her face. Izuku has been holding back all his pain and inner turmoil; he had to be strong to survive and heal. But in the arms of his mother he is just a boy that went through a traumatic experience, and the dam of tears he was holding breaks, so mother and son are crying and hugging in the infirmary.

"I was going to tell you she was here before letting her in but when I saw her face I couldn't bring myself to stop her", Toshinori enters the room with a plate full of warm food, fresh from the cafeteria.

"That's fine, it appears this is what our dear student needs most right now, everyone, let us leave the room for some time", Nezu waves to all the people in the room, they all leave the room with Toshinori leaving last so he can put the food on a table near the bed.

The future may be unknown and his very understandings of his life may have been flipped upside down, but right now in the arms of his mother, he could care less.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Heyo, some justifications, so Izuku would've been fine on his own and gotten up within the next 5 minutes with heavy injuries. Buuuut Denki and the others were honestly counter productive as once they removed his visor and mouthpiece the nanosuit wasn't able to fix his agonal breathing and supply him with oxygen and as a consequence stopped his heart.

I wanted to try out other perspectives since being 3rd person limited with only one character is a little limiting but it does make it feel like we are following Izuku's story, which is why I chose it. Then I decided changing perspectives every now and then is also good for the story.

Fun fact: Hirose was originally only going to appear maybe one more time in the future since her use had ended but Ya boi sweetleave is kind of lazy so instead of creating a new character I just decided to reuse her!(I checked and I'm pretty sure I didn't say what her quirk was) Double fun fact: I decided Hirose does have a bit of a crush on Izuku since he saved her life, should make any possible future encounters fun, maybe she'll become a recurring side character or something who knows I certainly don't! Hope you all enjoyed it. I'll try to upload in under 3 weeks if possible.
