(I do not own Boku no Hero Academia, only this fanfiction's plot)

Again only saying this once, this story is in 3rd person

Beep* Beep* Beep*

Groaning Izuku Midoriya peeked out from under his pillow, looking at the time he immediately jumped up in a panic.

Opening his closet Midoriya quickly grabbed his uniform and flung it on in a hurry, buttoning his shirt clumsily with his fingers. Pulling up his pants Midoriya rushed into the bathroom and splashed some water on his face and quickly started brushing his teeth.

He had overslept.

"Shitshitshitshit.." he muttered under his breath as he put his contacts in, glancing at his hair for the first time in his life Midoriya was glad styling did nothing for the curls. Running down the stairs he barely heard his mother call for him to come back and eat some breakfast.

"Hey- at least have some juice, Izuku-kun!"

But Izuku didn't have time, he yelled a quick apology over his shoulder before heading out the door, leaving his mother alone.

Between almost being killed by the same villain twice, meeting All Might and learning his idol was horribly injured, and being acknowledged by him, Izuku Midoriya didn't think his day could get any stranger.

That was, until All Might said, "You're worthy of inheriting my power!"

Lifting his head up, Midoriya tilted his head in a deadpan, "Huh? Inherit your power?.."

Throwing his head back All Might laughed, walking closer to the confused child.

"What's with that face? It's just a suggestion, but you do need to decide whether or not you'll accept my power!" All Might said pointing at him, blood gushing out of his mouth comically.

'wh-what is All Might saying?'

"I'm talking about my quirk, young man," The blond said, wiping the blood from his chin, "The tabloids always called it "super strength" or "boost", and I always dodged the question in interviews with a funny joke. Why? Because The Symbol of Peace, All Might, had to be a natural born hero. But young man, I will tell you the truth.."

Tilting his head back and spreading his arms wide in a dramatic fashion, All Might disclosed one of his biggest secrets. "My quirk was passed on to me like a sacred torch that has been carried through many generations!"

"Passed on to you..?"

"That's right, and now, it is your turn."

"Wa.. Wait a minute! While it's true that your quirk is something that's hotly debated as one of the worlds greatest mysteries, so much so that not a day goes by where I don't see someone discussing it online, but.. Well I don'treallyknowwhatyou meanbyinheritingorpassingonaquirkI'veneverhearofanythinglikethatit's neverevenbeenconjuredupasconjectureinthedebatewhyisthat?isitbecausesincethedawnofhistoryaquirklikethathadneverbeenconfirmed?Inthefirstplaceits.."

'You always start with denial, huh?' All Might thought, watching the boy mutter his thoughts out loud.

"Nonsense!"

Midoriya jumped and looked up at All Might who sighed, "Look kid, I might keep secrets but I'm not a liar." Holding out his hand he continued, "The power to transfer power, is the quirk I inherited.."

Midoriya watched in amazement as All Might's hand glowed with a beautiful light, looking him in the eyes the hero continued, "I was entrusted with "One For All"!"

"One.. For.. All.."

"That's right! One person cultivates the power and passes it on to someone else, then they also cultivate it and pass it on. One for All is the crystalization of power, swirling with the voices of heroes with a courageous heart."

"Why.." Midoriya started, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, "Why would you give me something so great?"

"I've been looking for a successor, and I think you are worthy. You, a quirkless fanboy, were more heroic than anyone else out there today."

Midoriya felt tears well up in his eyes again, All Might slapped his forehead and continued on, "Well, it is up to you, though.. So, what'll it be?"

Wiping his tears Midoriya shakily stood up and firmly nodded, "I'll do it!"

"An immediate reply, just as I expected."

Pulling out his phone All Might made a gesture for Midoriya to hand over his (which he immediately complied with) and put his number in.

"My name will be listed as 'Toshinori Yagi', if your parents happen to see it just say I'm a friend from school or a new teacher, whatever will be easiest to keep up with."

Taking his phone back, Midoriya made sure the number was saved under his favorites before looking up at the thin man, "So is that like your real name or..?"

All Might, or as some would call Toshinori, gave a nod. "When I'm in this form you can call me Yagi, it will cause less suspicion that way."

Suddenly realizing something Midoriya flushed, " Um.. My name is Izuku Midoriya.. I just realized I never properly introduced myself.."

Laughing slightly Toshinori ruffled his hair, "Little on the nose, huh?"

"..Maybe a little."

Taking a step forwards Midoriya stumbled slightly, he was about to bid All Might farewell before he felt an arm loop around his waist to keep him from falling, hearing a laugh he felt his face turn pink.

"Not surprising your body is finally giving out, we'll have to work on your endurance some when we get started on you training.."

'training? I guess that makes sense..'

Looking down at him All Might had Midoriya lean into him somewhat, "I'll walk you home, it's almost dark out so I should do it anyways given the neighborhood."

"I wouldn't want to cause you anymore trouble.." Midoriya may say that but they were already walking, All Might shook his head and just let the boy use him as a cane as they headed towards his apartment complex.

Midoriya felt some anxiety as they walked up the stairs, his mother was going to kill him for being out this late with no phone call! Hopefully she would accept the Sludge Villain as an excuse, or at least be distracted by worrying over him enough that he'd escape the scolding until morning.

Knocking on the door Midoriya glanced up at All Might who was still letting him lean on him, hearing the door open he turned to face his mother, Inko Midoriya, whose expression was unreadable as she stared at her son before looking up quizzically at All Might.

"Who are you?"

Thinking on his feet Midoriya straightened up some before replying, "Mom this is Mr. Yagi, he's Toshinori's father."

"Toshinori Yagi?.." She said quietly before smiling, "Ooh is this a a friend or..?"

Feeling his face go red Midoriya shook his head, "He's just a friend! I wasn't feeling well so his dad wanted to make sure I got home okay.."

Turning around Inko sighed, "No wonder, you didn't even eat breakfast.." Looking over her shoulder she locked eyes with Yagi, "Would you like some tea, Mr. Yagi? I just made a pot."

"Erm.. I wouldn't want to impose.."

"Nonsense! Please, I always make too much.."

Looking at Midoriya the boy shrugged and started to lead the man inside, though on the inside the boy felt a great deal of anxiety having the number one hero inside his home.

Hearing the door click behind them Toshinori raised an eyebrow, looking over his shoulder he shrugged- it must have something to do with the woman's quirk.
Looking around the apartment All Might couldn't help but be somewhat put off by how dark it was, the quiet didn't make it much better. Looking down at Midoriya he could tell the kid was slightly anxious, but that probably had more to do with him than the atmosphere. Shaking his head he followed the small woman into the kitchen only to quickly knock Midoriya to the floor, feeling a string on his cheek as he also narrowly dodged the bullet.

Locking eyes with the green haired woman All Might saw six bullets floating around her fingers, an unreadable expression on her face.

Midoriya's had turned pale when he met the cold gaze of his mother, "Mom?.. What's.. What are doing?!"

Grimacing the woman shook her head, "Something I should've done a long time ago, I should've known you were a hopeless case." Turning towards All Might she gave a sadistic smile, "I realize this may not make much sense to you, Toshinori, but I cannot pass up this opportunity."

Throwing her hand back she rocketed three more bullets at them, making sure they were spread out enough to prevent dodging. Time slowed down for Midoriya as his mind quickly went through the possible outcomes, strategies, anything he could do, but each time he came to one single possibility. A Chance.

All Might felt himself being thrown as Midoriya grabbed him by the shoulders before he could do anything, hearing the other two bullets making contact with the wall and floor as he was splattered with blood.

At first Midoriya felt a searing pain, a hot numbness, before a warm feeling flooded through his entire body. Trying to move Midoriya felt like he was everywhere, stretched too thin, like his whole body was made out of his tongue, but not quite. Looking around his vision was very warped, stained scarlet, like a colitiscope if that makes any sense.

Watching his mother as she floated the bullets around her fingers as she hummed, All Might looking distraughtly at his blood soaked lap as he tried to make sense of what just happened.

'He's.. He's.. Helpless..'

Midoriya felt an ungodly amount of rage when he saw his mother throw her hand back again, obviously meaning to take a second shot at All Might. Midoriya stretched himself across the floor, trying to reach out to stop her. Gathering himself a sudden red tendril shot up from the blood soaked floor and wrapped around her arm, effectively stopping her actions. More tendrils shot out and wrapped around the woman, constricting her like a snake as they lifted her in the air.

All Might watched as the strange substance dropped the now limp villain, before gathering into the silhouette of a person. As the figure became more defined the red faded to a pale fleshy color that was dotted with freckles. Turning to look at him Midoriya tried to take a step forwards before his knees buckled under him.

Ushering over All Might helped Midoriya sit up, looking the boy over the hero immediately located and put pressure on his gunshot wound, ripping some of his shirt to try to soak up some of the blood. Meanwhile Midoriya stared blankly at the woman who had attacked them, his mother.

"I.. I don't understand.." Midoriya in one word was in shock, his left shoulder was on fire and his emotions were all over the place, he could barely gather his thoughts, "Why did she.. Is she even..?"

"Shh.. Hey, I'm going to call my friends and we'll all get this sorted out, alright?" Tilting Midoriya forwards to look at the wound he grimaced at his blood soaked hand, "I just need you to try to stay awake for me, okay? Can you do that?

..Kid?

Hey, can you hear me?

Midoriya!?"
