Start of Season 1

"You too can be a hero" Nana said to Izuku all those years ago

"Jeez why did I have to open my big mouth" Nana thought to herself.

See at the time of her telling him he could be a hero. She could have sworn that his quirk would be more than talking to ghosts. And she was right! Izuku could touch ghosts too.

Too bad the longer he did it he worst it made him feel.

Touching ghosts just made him nauseous. Which was no way suited for hero work.

Nana floated around in the apartment living room. Trying to remember all the different types of quirks she encountered in her life and tried to see if any were close to Izuku's.

But she knew of none. And if she was being honest, if a little kid came up to her and said I could see and talk to Ghosts she would probably laugh.

Then run because right after laughing she would remember that line from that scary American movie.

"I see dead people" she remembered a little boy whispering

She shuddered.

"HA HA HA HA" a loud voice broke her temporary paralysis

Veins popped in her forehead. That freaking video.

"Its fine now! Why? Because I am here" All Might shouted in the video.

"Its fine now! Why? Because I am here" Nana mimicked in a condescending voice to herself.

She rolled her eyes and shouted

"Little Izuku brat, its time for school"

Freaking Toshinori is gospel to this kid. Every damn morning that same video playing again and again.

It was almost as annoying as the freaking "A call is here! A call is here!" ringtone.

No one came out of the room. Nana drifted to the door phased through it and took a look at the room again because every time she was in here it gave her chills.

All Might was everywhere.

"Scary" She thought to herself.

She snuck up behind Izuku and shouted "Hey! Time for school you fanboy"

Izuku shot out of his chair

"Right right, sorry Nana" He mumbled.

Izuku at a young age did try calling her "Mama" and "Nana-Nee" but Nana didn't really like it. So they both just called each other their first names. But Nana always added "little" in front of his.

Initially, she used it as a way to sort of demean him and try to motivate him to become stronger and mentally tougher.

He instantly took as a sign of affection and jumped and hugged her ghost form shouting "You're like my mom!" So now she does it because it makes the kid smile and he's too damn adorable when he smiles. She doesn't let him call her "Mom" though. Because it makes her too sad.

"Ok Nana, I'm heading out too school I put your favorite channel on too" Izuku said has he hurried out the door.

He left and that marks the start of Nana's daily routine. She would watch her favorite TV show for one hour in morning and then just wander the town. All because she couldn't freaking change the channel.

"Who freaking thought of this Ghost system" Nana sighed.

It sucked

She couldn't really touch anything physical other than Izuku which was weird. But this was a promising thing to her. Because that means his quirk is untapped and has more potential. She floated there absent mindedly until the show finished and then she made her way about the town.

When she told Izuku he could be a hero she kinda moved in with him. She couldn't really do anything other that talk to him but even that he was grateful for considering he was social isolated at school and at home.

Nana tried her best to give him advice to stop the bullying. She had him on an exercise regimen, so he would bulk up and maybe actually fight back. Unfortunately, Izuku wasn't the aggressive type. But the exercise did help a lot some of kids did back off. Except that Kacchan brat.

She scowled. Nana hated that kid. Thinking he's all that because his quirk is flashy.

Nana had Izuku train a lot and learn some martial arts so maybe he would deck kacchan right in the nose, but he wouldn't punch him at all. He always just murmured "No no, Kacchan he's just a competitive and he isn't a bad guy"

Nana sighed. The kid is too pure hearted. Too her it was endearing and made her want to hold him and take care of him.

Too bad the rest of the world would take this personality and just step on him and abuse him.

She phased through the apartment wall.

"Let's see if anything interesting is happening today" and she flew around the town to watch heroes and villains fight.

She did enjoy this more than she cares to admit. It reminded her of her days has a hero. All the battles with Gran Torino, all the evil doers she put away. How she carried out justice. She reminisced for a couple of hours and anytime a villain with a quirk similar to the one she faced in the past filled her with memories.

But then she remembered the price she paid to be a hero. The death of her husband and how she gave up her son.

Before the emotions could set in she noticed a fire in an alley that broke her train of thought.

She drifted over then and landed on a nearby rooftop and oversaw the crime scene.

There was a giant sludge type monster which was causing all this ruckus.

And he had a kid in his clutches. Nana looked closer.

"It's that Kacchan Brat!" Nana said to no one in particular.

Nana continued to the eye the scene; curious of the outcome.

For a decent while nothing really happened except the sounds of explosion going off due to Katsuki's quirk. The onlookers and the heroes watched helpless as the it seems that the slug villain would kill the middle school child.

Nana was grimacing and hoped that everything would turn out alright.

She wanted to jump in and use her power to blow off the sludge villain. She wanted to save the little brat even though she caused her Little Izuku so much trouble. Even though he was annoying and a bully; he didn't deserve to die. Not like this.

She silently wished that someone would jump in and help the boy. Unfortunately for her the wish was granted.

She saw Izuku running towards the villain.

Her heart sank to her stomach. The adrenaline was coursing through her veins. This was not what she wished for. Little Izuku running to the sludge villain. No. Izuku was running to his death.

She had met him when he was five. In the little idiot was so always so bright and cheerful. She remembers watching him grow up. All the training they did, the lonely nights where they would have good and long conversations about random things. She remembered the chatter box ramblings of heroes due to Little Izuku's fanboy nature.

Overtime Nana started to believe in karma. She always wanted to know why she had remained a ghost. She thought maybe because she wasn't good enough for heaven nor bad enough for hell. Maybe its because everyone becomes a ghost.

But what gave her the most peace was thinking that karma existed and that karma made her ghost and let her meet Izuku to give her the one thing she was denied in life.

Motherhood.

But now she was going to lose everything again.

"Not again…. Please not again" Nana said as tears slowly leaked from her eyes.

Little did she know, she started flickering again.

All Might POV

All Might watched as the sludge villain wreaked havoc in alleyway. He couldn't do anything as his time limit was up.

"Useless" he thought to himself

"Wasn't All Might fighting him?" asked one bystander

"Where is All Might he needs to save this kid!" another whispered

"Did this guy give All Might the slip?" said another

"I'm so pathetic" All Might thought to himself

He silently wished that someone would jump in and help the boy. Unfortunately for him the wish was granted.

He saw the same kid who asked if he could be a quirkless hero go head first into the villain.

His heart sank to his stomach. He watched in awe as the kid threw his backpack and hit the villain in the eye. Izuku had ran up to villain and started clawing at him hopeless trying to get the student out the villain's clutches.

"Deku what are you doing here ?!" The trapped student yelled.

"My body moved on its own!" shouted Izuku

The guilty in All Might's being shot up exponentially.

"Pathetic…Pathetic.. Pathetic!" All Might thought had he sank slowly and slowly into the ground.

"Besides it you looked like you were asking for help!" Izuku shouted as a fear filled smiled came across his face.

"Pathetic" All Might whispered softly to himself.

He was going to let this kid die. He couldn't assume his muscled form anymore. His body was too broken down.

He wasn't half the hero the kid thought he was. He was just….

Pathetic.

He hadn't felt this low since he learned of this teacher's death all those years ago.

He was going to stand by and let this kid die just like he let Nana die.

All because he was too weak.

He looked up to the sky praying to any god that would listen to please send any form of help.

His blood ran cold. He stood there with his mouth wide open and his heart racing.

Looking up at a near rooftop he saw the one person he let down the most

The one person who had give him everything.

The one person who taught him to fight.

The person who gave him his heroic ideology.

The person responsible for creating All Might.

He watched as Nana stood there looking hopeless.

He read her lips and swore the words that came out were

"Not again…. Please not again"

All Might screamed internally.

"I'm so fucking Pathetic!"

Rage filled his body; every fiber of his was filled with righteous anger and his mind eradicated all previous fillings of self-loathing filled it with pure determination.

He would not let this kid die. Not fucking today.

He transformed into his mighty form. And the power flooded the area. He let All for One surge through his veins.

Everyone turned back in shock. They all felt the power and the pure shockwave of his transformation. But before they could see from whom all the power was coming All Might had already shot towards the villain his speed putting a bullet to shame.

He intercepted the attack meant for Izuku and he spoke solemnly

"I really am pathetic. Even though I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!"

He remembers his origin. Where he came from. And who let him be the man he is today.

These thoughts condensed into his heart and exploded out in two words

"Detroit Smash!"

The slime Villain seemed like he was erased from existence and a giant tornado took his place.

All Might looked up to the roof where he saw Nana and confirmed what he already expected. She was gone.

"Was it all just a daydream?" he thought dejected.

Izuku walked home with his head down. He had gotten an earful from the Pro heroes about his reckless actions. Then Kacchan came and cursed him out and saying he didn't need his help and that he is useless.

But honestly, that didn't bother him at all.

Well it did bother him. But compared to what Nana was doing right now it might as well have been praise.

"Maybe your second quirk is that you turn braindead for a couple minutes! You ever consider that you absolute lunatic! "Nana shouted; admonishing the poor boy.

"I didn't really think Nana… My legs just moved on their own" Izuku said sadly.

"Oh, that's good we confirmed it! Your second quirk is that you can become braindead for a short while!" Nana said again as she glared daggers into the boy.

Izuku sighed. He was glad this day was over though. After speaking with All Might he can finally let go of his dream of being a hero. While he did have a quirk, it wasn't combat ready, and it was hard to prove it even existed. So, he had just told him he didn't have a quirk.

He had a small smile. At least he got to meet him once.

Little did he know he was going to meet him again.

"I AM HERE!" All Might shouted as he appeared in front of Izuku.

"All Might? Were you talking to reporters?" Izuku spit out in shock

Nana simply raised her eyebrow "Was Toshinori always this corny? Or..." she thought to herself.

"HAHA GETTING AWAY WAS EASY. WHY? BECAUSE I AM ALL-"He couldn't finish his sentence as he spit out blood and deflated into his true form.

Nana stood (floated) there dumbfounded.

Izuku simply screamed.

All Might cleaned the blood from his mouth and spoke to Izuku in a serious tone

"Young man. I come with thanks, a correction, and a suggestion"

Nana was curious about what was going to happen.

"Top heroes have stories about them from their school days, and they all have one thing in common: there body moved before their brains had time to react"

Izuku started tearing up and his hand moved towards their heart.

"And today that's what happen to you"

Nana knew where this was going, and a massive smile adorned her face and she felt the tears again creeping to her eyes. She looked down and smiled at Izuku who fell to his knees, his hand still grabbing his heart.

All Might spoke

"Young man, you too can become a hero"
