2 The Special Kind of Hero

Quirks are pretty common nowadays when you live in this kind of a world. But it's as I said, it's still a mystery to how they came to be for humanity.

Though there is something I can tell you… How Quirks are developed.

You see it comes naturally to people in general. Their Quirks usually start showing when they're young, or in some cases they don't show at all, no offense to you Izuku-kun.

But then, you get the third special case, and that's where my Quirk comes in.

You see most kids get their Quirks when they turn four…

Me, however?

I'm one of the few that's had it, since the day they were born.

The Slime Villain one by the name of Sludge opened his eyes to find himself trapped within what he assumed to be a soda bottle. He noticed that he was in an alleyway as he looked around and saw that he was near the Tatooin Shopping district.

"What the hell?" He wondered, "How did I get here?"

He tried to recall what had happened to him, as he tried to move around in the bottle. It wasn't long until he recalled how he ended up the way he was. "That's right…" He said, "All Might must've got me." He growled out of annoyance, "If it weren't for that bastard… Than I would've been home free… I gotta find a way to get back at him… But how…?"

His answer soon came in the form of a voice; Katsuki along with his two classmates came strolling down the alleyway as they were using it to take a shortcut.

"Hey Katsuki?" One of them asked, "Weren't you and Midoriya childhood friends?"

"You went a little overboard today." The other said.

Katsuki merely replied, as he kicked the soda bottle aside, allowing it to pop open, "It's his own fault for getting in the way."

"Don't let it get to you." One of them said.

"How can I not?" Katsuki said, setting fire to a soda can he had been holding before tossing it to the side, "Just watching him pisses me off!"

"I know what doesn't piss you off." The other classmate said.

Katsuki looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "What?" He asked.

"Two words." He said, before the two classmates said at the same time, "Reina Nouki-chan."

Katsuki turned red when he heard her name, "WH-WHAT!?" He yelled at the two of them, "WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?"

"Come on, the others can see it from space." The other said, "She may be tough around the nail, but you gotta admit she's super cute! Face the fact, she's perfect for someone like you."

"SHUT THE HELL UP BEFORE I DO IT FOR YOU!" Katsuki yelled as he made explosions from his hands.

"Alright, alright no need for that." His classmate said, "Look, why don't we go to the arcade for a change of pace?"

"You'll come too, right Katsuki?" The other asked.

Katsuki took a deep breath to calm himself down before replying, "Fine, whatever."

"In that case why don't we head to the one at the front of the station?" His classmate suggested, "There's lots of prey down there if you know what I mean?"

"You're terrible!" The other said as he snickered.

Katsuki had yelled again, "HELL NO!! IF WE GET CAUGHT, IT'LL END UP ON MY RECORD!"

"Oh yeah." The Classmate said, "Not to mention Reina-chan's the only one for Katsuki, am I right?"

"I always thought she liked that half-breed, Floyd Aihara?" One of them asked.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP ABOUT THAT!" Katsuki yelled again.

Soon enough the two classmates started to shake in fear as they saw something creeping up behind him, which made Katsuki look at them perplexed. "Hey! Look!" The two of them said. Katsuki soon looked at what exactly got them spooked, and saw that the Sludge Villain creeped up on him.

"An invisible cloak with a great Quirk!" He said as he towered over Katsuki, "You'll do nicely!"

Katsuki's eyes widened before the world around him became dark.

***

They couldn't believe that the man that they were looking at right now was really All Might, as he looked at them with a frown. They could almost swear that they had been dreaming; though they wish they had been dreaming since they didn't want to say that what they were looking at was real.

"WHAT IN THE HELL?!" Reina exclaimed, "YOU DEFLATED LIKE A BALLOON!!"

Floyd had also added by yelling, "You almost look like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo!"

Izuku started to look around as he said, "No--Wait, you can't be him! You must be a fake! I mean, All Might is huge and you're skinny!"

"Not to mention you're frowning!" Reina yelled, "All Might doesn't frown! He smiles in the face of danger!"

Floyd had shouted, "Yeah, and his hair! It looks all messed up compared to his!"

All Might let out a sigh before replying, "I assure you, I am All Mi--"

His sentence had been cut off when he spilled blood from his mouth, which scared Reina, Izuku and Floyd; all the three of them did was scream.

"HOLY CRAP!" She yelled, "HE THREW UP BLOOD!"

"OH MY GOD!" Floyd exclaimed, "He's getting old like my Uncle Takun!"

"NO WAY!" Izuku exclaimed.

"Okay, how can I put this…?" All Might said as he wiped the blood from his mouth, "... You know how the guys at the pool are constantly flexing and posturing to impress others?"

The three of them didn't say anything; they merely nodded their heads in reply.

"It's like that." All Might stated.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" The three of them exclaimed.

"Whoa! Hold up a second!" Floyd said after snapping out of it, "I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen."

Reina slapped herself in the face, "You're right Floyd-kun. It just doesn't add up."

"N-no way, it can't be!" Izuku said, "I mean, Reina-chan has a point about what she said! All Might is fearless! He saves everyone with a smile!"

"He's one of the greatest heroes among heroes!" Reina added.

All Might let out another sigh before he sat himself down, "A fearless smile huh? Young children, now that you've seen me like this, make sure you don't write this up online, or even accidentally."

The three of them looked to each other with confusion, before looking back to All Might. "Back up a minute… You mean to say that no one else knows about this?" Reina asked, "... Just us…?"

"I'm afraid I'm not allowed to say." All Might said, "Just listen to what I tell you…"

All Might had lifted his shirt slightly to show a large scar just along his side, which took the three of them by surprise. "Wha…" Floyd said speechless, "What the hell is that?"

"Pretty nasty, huh?" All Might had said.

"What happened?" Reina asked.

All Might had begun to explain, "It's an injury I got five years back. Half of my respiratory systems were destroyed, and I lost my whole stomach. I've become emaciated due to the repeated surgeries and aftereffects. Right now I can only work as a hero for about three hours a day."

"Three hours?" Izuku said surprised.

"You're… Serious…?" Reina asked.

"Please tell me you're kidding right now..." Floyd stuttered while taking it all in.

"I wish I was, young man." All Might had said, "But it's true, every word of it."

Izuku's eyes widened in realization at a certain thought. "Hold on!" Izuku said, "Five years ago… That was when you fought Toxic Chainsaw right?"

"Wait, that Villain!?" Reina said, "The one killed at least two families?!"

"You two are certainly well informed." All Might said, "But a punk like that couldn't beat me. The fight was not made public to the world. I asked that it be kept that way."

"No wonder dad didn't tell me about it then…" Floyd said

"Hold on, you mean your dad was there when it happened?" Reina asked.

"You're kidding me!" Izuku said surprised.

"He was." Floyd replied "When he came back to the states, his eyes looked like they saw hell and back, his hands were shaking. He couldn't tell me, mom or my siblings about the incident."

"Are you by any chance talking about Joji Aihara?" All Might asked.

Floyd simply nodded his head in reply before saying, "Yes known as the Hero Lead Zeppel."

All Might nodded too but in understanding before saying, "I see, then… You must be his son, Floyd. No wonder you look so much like him and his wife. I wish we could've met under better circumstances"

"Wait, wait, wait…" Reina said, "... This doesn't make any sense! If you have this condition going on for the past five years, why do you put yourself at risk of being exposed to others, especially villains? People that would literally try to kill you?"

"It's simple why I do it young lady…" All Might replied, "... I want to save people with a smile! The Symbol of Peace cannot be daunted by evil. I smile to show the pressure of heroes and trick the fear inside of me." The three of them gasped at this at the new found information. They didn't want to believe that All Might, this Symbol of Peace was afraid. The great All Might is simply afraid and he hides it all behind a smile.

It wasn't long before All Might had continued, "Pros are always risking their lives. I cannot simply say 'You can become a hero even without power.'"

Izuku gasped at this while Reina and Floyd looked at him in shock. All Might stood up with the help of the railing before proceeding out the door, "If you want to help others… Then you could also become a police officer. They're often teased because they get villians delivered to their doorstep, but that's also a fine occupation. It's not a bad dream… But you also have to consider what's realistic young man."

With that he exited the rooftop, leaving Reina, Floyd and a shocked Izuku alone. Floyd looked to Izuku and comforted him by saying, "Come on, Izuku. Let's go."

Reina on the other hand had a face of both rage and disappointment. "Floyd-kun, you mind sticking with Izuku-kun?" Reina said before she went in the same direction that All Might had gone in.

"What are you going to do?" Floyd asked as he continued to comfort Izuku.

Reina didn't answer as she shut the door behind her. She found All Might half-way down the stairs looking worried about something; though she didn't pay no mind to it, she was too enraged by his words to one of her closests friends.

"How can you say that to him!?" Reina exclaimed, getting All Might's attention.

He turned to her, "Young lady? I'm sorry I don't have--"

"No you listen to me!" Reina said as she approached him, "I don't care if you're the Symbol of Peace, you can't just say something like that, especially to someone like Izuku-kun! He's worked harder than everyone else to get into the UA! Not to mention that he's looked up to you ever since he was a little kid! Don't you realize that you crushed his dreams by what you just said!?"

All Might turned to her, "Don't you think I might've said it to protect your friend, young lady?"

"By destroying any means he has to reach that goal to become a Hero!? That's a really funny way to help!" She exclaimed angrily, "I don't care what other people say about Izuku-kun! He can be a hero even without a Quirk!"

"No offense but how would you know something like that?"

"Because I get by life without relying on my Quirk all the time! And I've been doing just fine without its help! And besides he has something in him that most people would never dream of having!"

"Hold on young la--"

All Might looked at her closely as he couldn't help but wonder why the girl before him looked so familiar."I feel like I've seen you somewhere…" He said before asking, "What's your name again young lady?"

"It's Reina!" She replied, "My name is Reina Nouki!"

All Might's eyes widened in shock when he realized when he heard her name. He came to realize why she had looked oddly familiar; Reina noticed the change in his eyes as her expression fell from her face. "Wait a minute." All Might started to say, "I know you, your—"

BOOM!

Their attention was drawn to the explosion outside; they looked outside the window and saw smoke coming from the Tatooin distract. "What was that?" Reina said, "A Villain?"

"No…" All Might said as he shook slightly, "Don't tell me--!"

Before Reina knew it, All Might had dashed down the stairs heading towards the exit just downstairs. "Hey wait!" Reina exclaimed as she ran after him, "I still need to talk to you!"

***

-Tatooin Shopping District-

Many of the people ran away screaming from the Villain that had been attacking the shopping district. Not only that but fire had surrounded. The Sludge Villain stood tall and intimidating to many as Katsuki struggled to get free and to get the Villain to stop using his Quirk. A group of Pro Heroes had arrived on the scene, one of them being Death Arms, and the other being Floyd's father, one known by many, Lead Zeppel.

They were shocked to see how fast the fire had spread, but they were more shocked to see Katsuki in the Sludge Villain's body.

"It's taken a child hostage!?" Lead Zeppel exclaimed.

"YOU DAMN COWARD!" Death Arms yelled as he charged at the villian.

He threw a powerful punch into the Sludge Villains stomach. Though it didn't seem to have any effect as his fist started to think into his body.

"What the--!?" Death Arms exclaimed as he struggled to get free, "What is this!? I can't grab a hold on him!"

Instead of the Sludge Villain absorbing the hero he instead tossed him to the side roughly as he hit the iron gate of a store that was nearby.

"DEATH ARMS!" Lead Zeppel exclaimed, before he and the other heroes dodged the Sludge Villain.

The Sludge Villain merely laughed, "Don't come near me if you want the boy to live."

With a cry, Katsuki managed to get his mouth free and let out a scream, "I WON'T--!" He shouted as he struggled, "--LET SEWAGE LIKE THIS SALLOW ME!! YOU LITTLE--"

Katsuki tried to use his Quirk to break free creating a shockwave and setting more flames on the ground, but even than it seemed to have no effect on the Sludge Villain.

"What power!" The Sludge Villain said with a smile, "I've hit the jackpot! With this Quirk and power, I can get revenge on that guy!"

The crowd couldn't help but watch as they had stayed behind as the Pro Heroes did their work. Though they were praying for the safety of the young student, many were more interested in the Villain that laid in front of the Pro Heroes.

"Woah, what's that?!"

"It must be a big shot Villain!"

"Oh! She's here! The rookie Hero Mount. Lady!"

Just as they said, Mount Lady came rushing into the scene, though she had stopped when she realized something as she arrived. Lead Zeppel asked Mount Lady as he got people out of the fire, "What's wrong!?"

"I can't move in one lane! It needs to be at least two lanes!" Mount Lady exclaimed.

"YOU'RE KIDDING!?" Lead Zeppel exclaimed.

Kamui managed to grab a hold of five people before he started to dart out through the fire and towards where the crowd was. "I'm not good when it comes to explosions!" Kamui said, "I'll leave it to someone else for today!"

"Thanks for that!" A Hero one by the name of Backdraft did his best to put out the fires, "I have my hands full with fighting the fire! Are the fire trucks here yet!?"

"No, not yet!" One of the Hero's replied.

"How are things on your end!?" Lead Zeppel shouted.

"He's sticky and hard to grab." Death Arms said, "Not to mention he's got a child with a pretty powerful Quirk! It's hard to do anything against this triple play since this whole thing is a minefield!" Soon enough the Sludge Villain attacked again and they were quick to dodge. "Damn it! This is bad!" Lead Zeppel said, "If only we had extra help! Sucks that Caligrahphine is away on another mission right now..."

Death Arms said, "We need to buy time for the proper Hero to show up!"

"RIGHT!" The other heroes said.

Just outside of the crowd, All Might and Reina had arrived on the scene to see what the explosion was. After catching their breath they both looked through the gap and saw that it was the Sludge Villain from earlier. "What!?" Reina exclaimed, "Him again!? I thought that you captured him!?"

"I must've dropped the bottle while I was in the air!!" All Might had concluded, "Damn… I made a careless mistake!" Reina's attention was soon drawn to someone familiar screaming. The voice came from where the Sludge Villain stood. She looked over the crowd and saw someone she knew all too well, struggling to get free.

"BAKUGOU-KUN!?" Reina exclaimed out of mere shock before her expression turned to rage, "THAT BASTARD HAS BAKUGOU-KUN!"

Reina went to run through the crowd but was stopped by All Might.

All Might had said to her, "What do you think you're doing, young Nouki!?"

"What's it look like!?" Reina yelled as she struggled against his grip, "I'm gonna go save my friend!"

All Might yanked her back as he said, "You're just going to end up the way I found you! Until I get my strength back you need to sit this one out!"

"BY THEN, HE'S GOING TO BE DEAD!" She shouted, "NOW LET ME GO!"

Before All Might could say anything more, he cried out in pain, when Reina hit his foot hard causing him to let go. The next thing he knew, she started to push her way through the crowd leaving behind her bag and heading towards the villain in front of her.

"Wait, Nouki!" All Might exclaimed, "Someone stop that girl!"

The crowd didn't have time to react, nor did the Pro Heroes for that matter as Reina went charging into the fray. Many of the Pro Heroes tried yelling at her to turn back but she didn't listen; Even Lead Zeppel was caught by surprise when he saw her pass by and head straight for the enemy.

"HEY! SLUDGE FACE!" Reina yelled, getting the Villain's attention, "REMEMBER ME!?"

The Sludge Villain turned to her and Katsuki soon took notice of her as he continued to struggle against him. "You're the girl from earlier?" The Sludge Villain, "Come back to join another victim?"

"You've got a friend of mine!" Reina said, "Let him go and I'll go easy on you!"

The villain laughed as he said "Oh! You think you have what it takes to go against me? I don't know who's funnier? Your other friend with the useless quirk or what you just said!"

"You asked for it…" Reina said as she cracked her knuckles.

The Sludge Villain went to attack Reina, though she was quick to duck and cover; the crowd watched as Reina continued to dodge; she attempted to charge at the Villain only to move from his attacks again and again. It wasn't long before Floyd and Izuku had approached. They didn't notice at first since Floyd had been comforting Izuku.

"Even a Pro… Said I couldn't become a hero…" Izuku said as he started to cry, "I shouldn't be crying… Probably deep down, I knew the truth…"

Floyd said as he gave him a hug, "Hey, it'll be okay… Let's just find Reina and go--What the hell?"

Their attention was drawn when they heard what appeared to be the sounds of fighting. Curious as to what it maybe they followed the sounds just where the crowd had formed; at the entrance of the Tatooin Distract. They both let out gasps at what they saw through the crowd of people.

Floyd exclaimed as his eyes were on the Villain before them, "Hey! It's that slime guy!"

"But All Might captured him, didn't he!?" Izuku exclaimed.

Izuku and Floyd both gasped when they thought back to when they talked with All Might; they knew he had the Sludge Villain trapped inside the soda bottle, however as they thought back to it they realized something.

"The bottle!" Both Izuku and Floyd exclaimed.

Floyd had added, "It must have fallen out when we were flying!!"

"Which means…" Izuku said as he started to sweat, "... It's all our fault…"

Soon enough a certain conversation had caught their ears.

"Hey, why aren't the heroes doing anything?"

"I heard that the Villain has someone as a hostage. They can't really do much without hurting him."

Floyd and Izuku turned to one another before looking back to where the Villain was. "It has someone!?" Izuku exclaimed out of shock.

Floyd had said as his body shook slightly, "Yeah, but who?"

"Though that girl is crazy if she thinks she can take that guy on by herself." They heard someone say.

"She's gonna get herself killed!" Another had added, "One of those heroes should go and help her!"

"A girl!?" Izuku and Floyd both said questioningly.

They took a closer look and saw that the Sludge Villain was attacking someone. There they saw someone dodging his attacks with familiar aqua green and purple hair; they even saw a familiar blonde hair boy stuck in the body of the sludge villain.

"REINA-CHAN AND KAA-CHAN!?" Izuku exclaimed.

Floyd had also yelled, "Bakugou and Reina-chan!? It can't be..."

Floyd soon spotted his father at the front of the crowd as he was now helping keep the people back. Floyd quickly headed to the front and proceeded to get his attention, "Pops!"

"Floyd!?" Lead Zeppel said, "What are you doing here? I thought you would be at home by now!"

Floyd had replied, "You can lecture me later! My friend is out there!"

"What?!" He exclaimed before he turned back to the fight at hand.

Reina had soon ducked behind a shopping stand as the Sludge Villain continued his attacks. "COME ON OUT AND DIE LIKE A HERO LITTLE BRAT!"

She peeked out from behind the shopping stand, eyeing Katsuki in particular who was struggling to breathe.

"Physical attacks aren't going to work against this guy…" Reina thought to herself, "... And I can't rely on All Might right now based on what he told us, nor can I count on a proper Pro Hero to come in time… That means my only option is…"

For a moment, Reina reached for the bandages around her forehead and clenched it slightly. She bit down on her lip causing it to bleed a little. "I have no choice… It might be the only way I can save Bakugou-kun… It won't last very long since I won't be standing directly in front of him but… Five minutes is all I need."

With a deep breath, Reina stood up and simply walked to the Sludge Villain. He merely laughed, "You finally accepted your fate little girl!?"

"No." Reina said, "... I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to beat you without even laying a finger on you."

"Ha!" He said, "You're bluffing!"

"Your loss…" She said as she reached for her bandages, which confused the Villain; Katsuki's eyes however widened slightly at this.

"Bakugou-kun!" She said, tightening her grip, "Shut your eyes!"

Katsuki nodded and did just that, just as Reina ripped the bandages off of her forehead and tossed them to the floor. The Sludge Villain was taken back slightly when he saw what appeared to be a line similar to a smile in the middle of her forehead.

"The hell…?" The Sludge Villain said perplexed.

Though he soon came to realize that it wasn't a smile, when the upper line started to move upward. They revealed that on the middle of her forehead was a third eye in the color of black, which took him very much by surprise. The pupil in the third eye seemed to have dilated the very moment his own eyes were upon it. It wasn't long before he found himself in a different reality altogether; many didn't realize this until he let out a horrific scream.

"GOOD GOD!" The crowd could hear the Sludge Villain yell, "BUGS! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! THEY'RE ALL OVER MY BODY! GET THEM OFF!"

The crowd and the Pro Heroes that were there were befuddled to hear this while Floyd and Izuku (Who joined up with Floyd) on the other hand knew exactly what was happening.

"Her Quirk…" Floyd said, "... She must've used it…"

"Reina-chan…" Izuku said as he put his hand over his mouth.

Reina watched as the Sludge Villain started to freak out at whatever the third eye was making him see, though it wasn't long before she turned her sights to Katsuki.

"Now's my chance!"

She quickly ran underneath the Sludge Villain as he was freaking out, and she headed where Katsuki had been stuck; not before she picked up the bandages from the floor and stuffed it in her skirt pocket.

"Bakugou-kun!" She said as she started to get some of the sludge off of his mouth, "Are you okay!?"

"Nouki!" Katsuki managed to cough as he kept his eyes shut, "Did you get him?!"

"Yeah, but it won't last long!" Reina said as she started to get the sludge off the rest of his body, "I'll have you out of there as fast as I can!"

"Hurry!" Katsuki said to her.

Reina did the best she could to get the sludge off of at least one arm while Katsuki continued to struggle. Though no matter how hard she tried to get it off, more just seemed to produce on his body. "Seriously!?" Reina exclaimed angrily, "How much sludge does this guy have!?"

Floyd and Izuku watched helplessly as the Sludge Villain freaked out by whatever he was seeing.

Floyd couldn't help but say, "You're seeing this right?"

"Ye--yeah…" Izuku said, "She might be able to save Kaa-chan. As long as nothing happens, she'll be fine. Please be fine Reina-chan..."

Floyd said while crossing his fingers, "I'm really hoping nothing bad happens to her."

Reina struggled to get Katsuki free as he himself struggled more than he ever did before. No matter how hard she tried, more of the slime dripped onto his body. "God! It just keeps coming!" Reina exclaimed, trying to feel for Katsuki's arm, to at least pull him out, "How much can this guy even produce!?"

I'm scared…

Reina stopped when a child's voice caught her ears. She turned and next to her there was a little girl with shoulder length hair wearing raggy clothing and looking dirty from head to toe. Reina's eyes became focused as the child she had been looking at was herself. The younger version of herself had a look of fear, as she was covered in tears; her eyes looking as cold as a corpse.

Reina's eyes widened slightly at the younger version of herself as she saw her cry.

"I'm scared…" She said, "... Please… Someone save me…"

"... Why am I…?" Reina slowly said as her eyes were completely focused on the little girl as her body turned, allowing Katsuki's eyes to open. Though it wasn't long before she--

"NOUKI! LOOK OUT!"

Reina was caught by surprise when she was suddenly hit from behind and she had been sent flying to a building nearby. The crowd let out panicked screaming as the Pro Hero's watched in horror.

"Reina-chan!" Floyd and Izuku shouted.

Reina did her best to get up from the floor but the Sludge Villain managed to grab a hold of her arm and pinned her.

He said with a laugh, "Foolish girl! Did you really think you could fool me with that trick? Now you can pay the price!"

Everyone heard her cry when the Sludge Villain snapped her arm in two; Katsuki felt his rage build up when this happened. He let out a roar of anger before he started to push himself out of the Sludge Villians body. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Katsuki yelled as he tried to break free, "LET HER GO OR I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF! YOU HEAR ME!?"

"Quiet you!" The Sludge Villain said before covering his mouth once more and restricting his movements; He turned his attention back over to Reina, "... Now than… Time to finish you off."

Reina felt her forehead getting covered by the sludge before she started to feel herself getting strangled by the Villain. Katsuki let out a muffled yell, while the crowd and Pro Heroes gasped or screamed in horror.

"No! Reina-chan!" Izuku exclaimed.

Floyd said with his voice quivering, "C-come on....T-this can't be happening…"

Their attention was soon drawn to the crowd again.

"Wait a minute. Wasn't that the Villain that All Might had been chasing before?"

"All Might? No way! Is he here?"

"I think I saw him earlier."

"Seriously!? Than what is All Might doing!?"

"Someone has to save those poor children!"

Izuku's body started to shake, while Floyd just had a look of horror on his face. "It's… It's all our fault…" Izuku said, "... All Might… Can't do anything right now…"

Floyd had added, "... We wasted his time, and now… Bakugou and Reina-chan are going to pay the price…"

"Reina-chan… Kaa-chan… I'm so sorry… It's our fault this happened… It's all our fault…" Izuku said.

Floyd had said, "And there's nothing we can do about it.."

Izuku said to himself, with only Floyd hearing him, "Someone… Has to show up… Another Hero… Has to save them…"

From within the flames Reina's eyes arms fell to the side, as her eyes started to roll into the back of her head, and Katsuki had a pleading look in his eyes. Both of them did their best to reach out to the crowd as they both struggled to breath.

"Someone… Save us…"

The crowd was soon taken by surprise, when Izuku ran right into the chaos. Even All Might who stood in the back was put into shock when he saw this happen. The Pro Heroes tried yelling at Izuku to stop but he didn't seem to have heard them. Floyd soon yelled to him as he saw him run, "OI! IZUKU!"

Floyd bit his lip as he was thinking what he should do. Should he run away or should he fight? He wasn't sure what he should do as Izuku charged.

The Sludge Villain took notice of Izuku as he ran towards him.

"That brat again?" The Sludge Villain said.

"Deku…?" Katsuki thought to himself as his eyes opened slightly.

"Iz… uku… Kun?" Reina gagged, just as her eyes started to roll.

Just as Floyd sees this he clenches his fists so tightly that ink starts to drip out of it. The next second He proceeded to run past the crowd joining Izuku.

"FLOYD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" His father yelled.

Floyd yelled as he ran "I CAN'T JUST STAND HERE AND LET MY FRIENDS DIE BECAUSE OF ME! I HAVE TO HELP THEM!"

"DIE IN AN EXPLOSION!" The Sludge Villain as he went to attack Izuku.

Just before he could, Izuku swung his bag and it flew towards the Villain; most of his stuff had fallen out and a can had hit his eye. Soon enough Floyd went to attack the Villain. Just as he did he yelled, "HEY ASSHAT!"

The Villain looked to Floyd before his other eye was met with a steel hammer; Floyd yelled as he attacked, "LET THEM GO!"

"Gah! The Sketchbook brat too?!" He exclaimed. The Sludge started to loosen allowing both Reina and Katsuki to breath while the Sludge Villain tried to recover as Floyd continued to attack him with weapons he drew.

"REINA-CHAN! KAA-CHAN!" Izuku yelled before he started to claw his way to get them both free. "Izuku-kun!" Reina managed to cough out.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" Katsuki yelled.

"I DON'T KNOW, MY LEGS MOVED ON THEIR OWN!" Izuku exclaimed with a look of fear on his face.

Floyd had added, "Yeah, call it Ultra Instinct or something!"

"What?! Inkhead too?!" Katsuki shouted.

"You two!" Reina said before she slowly felt the Sludge Villain tighten his grip on her again, "It's dangerous! You need to go!"

"I DON'T NEED HELP FROM YOU TWO WEAKLINGS!" Katsuki yelled, "JUST WALK AW--GAH!" It wasn't long before Katsuki had started to choke again along with Reina, although that didn't stop Izuku from clawing his way.

Floyd yelled commenting on Katsuki's stubbornness, "Like I'd listen to you, you crazy trigger happy freak!"

"You—Gah!" Reina tried to say, "You have to—Agh—Leave, now!

"No! I can't leave you both here!" Izuku said as he was in tears yet forming a smile, "Reina-chan… Kaa-chan… It looked like you guys were asking for help…"

Reina's eyes widened slightly at this, though what they didn't know was that All Might had heard what he had said as well as he let out a gasp. Once more, Reina's eyes started to roll back before Katsuki was doing the same thing. Floyd yelled at them trying to get them free, "KATSUKI! REINA!"

"You little brats!" The Sludge Villain yelled before he threw Floyd off him and onto the ground, "DON'T GET IN MY WAY!!" He went to attack the two of them, and with no way to dodge all they could do was wait until the impact.

"THEY'LL DIE IN VAIN!" Death Arms yelled, "ARE THEY SUICIDAL!?"

Lead Zeppel exclaimed, "FLOYD! NO!"

Before they felt the impact, Floyd and Izuku felt a sudden woosh. When they opened their eyes, they saw that it had been All Might.

"... I really am pathetic." All Might said, as he was buff as he was before, "Even though I admonished you I wasn't putting what I said into practice."

"All Might!" Izuku and Floyd cried out.

All Might, still with his smile, had gotten himself free from the sludge before he had grabbed a hold of the four teens' hands. "PROS ARE ALWAYS RISKING THEIR LIVES!"

"ALL MIGHT!!" The Sludge Villain yelled before he went to attack, but All Might beat him to it.

"DETROIT SMASH!" All Might screamed.

With a single punch the Sludge Villain seemed to have imploded on himself followed by an insane gust of wind that nearly blew the whole crowd away. The crowd was literally in awe by what they had just seen, but they were taken by surprise when they felt water hit their cheeks.

"What the--Rain?"

"Was that from the wind pressure just now?"

"Good Lord, did he make it rain?"

Lead Zeppel said as he was amazed, "Incredible… With just one punch. That man never ceases to amaze me."

As soon as everything died down the ambulance arrived, attending to both Katsuki and Reina who had soon regained consciousness from All Might's Detroit Smash, while Izuku and Floyd received a scolding from the Pro Heroes and that of Floyd's father.

It's better to show than tell as the saying goes.

You've now seen what my Quirk can do, unfortunately that's not even half of it.

Let me explain in detail how it works.

Most of the Quirks you see are based on physical properties, but mine is more different than that.

In case you hadn't figured it out, the eye in the middle of my forehead allows me to manipulate the mind of others. They'll see things that aren't there if they look at the third eye. It lasts for ten minutes when they make eye contact, but even when they're not they're still in that hallucination but only for five minutes.

Not only that, it allows me to move objects with my head, a car, a person, myself you name it.

But there's a price to pay.

You wanna why I hide this eye from other's?

It's so that they don't go crazy themselves.

It doesn't matter who the person is looking at my third eye… They'll go crazy, both good and bad people all together. And the longer they look, the more dangerous it is. If they look long enough, they'll suffer brain damage, sometimes… It's permanent.

At least, that's what I heard the other Pro Heroes say, but frankly I don't want to find out.

And as you no doubt can tell, the mental tricks affect me as well.

I can't control what happens, hell, I can barely even control my telekinesis as it is; If I use it for too long, I can feel my brain melt in my head.

I can get myself hurt or worse, I can hurt others even if they didn't do anything wrong.

The only ones that know of how dangerous my Quirk can be are my friends and Guardian, but even than I'm still scared.

Terrified even.

Terrified, that one day I could make a mistake and end up hurting them. I would never forgive myself if that were the case.

That's why…

I hate my own Quirk...

-Later That Day-

The sun had begun to set over the horizon, as three familiar teens walked down the block. Izuku, Reina and Floyd walked together after they all had what they could all agree was a tiring day. Reina who walked in between them couldn't help but scratch underneath her cast before Floyd slapped her hand away.

"Knock it off!" Floyd said, "You'll get it infected!"

"I can't help it if it itches like a mosquito bite!" Reina said, "Seriously, how did you live with this!?"

Floyd replied with confidence, "Just leave it aside and suck it up!"

"You learned a lot of weird crap back in the states." Reina said to him

"But other than that… Dude… That was stressful." Floyd said as he rubbed his head.

Reina had added, "No kidding… Who knew we would run into the same Villain on the same day…"

"Yeah…" Izuku said, "... We didn't even get a chance to apologize to All Might since he was being interviewed…"

The three of them let out a sigh in unison. "I'm just hoping Scruffy doesn't find out about my stunt today…" Reina said, "... Otherwise my life is over…"

Floyd said as his body shook, "Your life is over? Try talking to my mom." Reina and Izuku stopped in their tracks when Floyd was face flat on the floor, which made sweat drop from both of them. "Uh…" Izuku said, "... Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah I forgot…" Reina said, "... You told me your mom is like the devil if he was a woman… At least when she's mad."

Floyd had added, "Yeah and my siblings are not gonna let this one go."

"Is your family really that scary?" Izuku asked with his voice trembling a little.

Floyd had replied as he picked up his head, "You have no idea."

"Honestly I don't know which ones are worse…" Reina said, "... Your mom or Bakugou-kun's."

Just as this was said, they heard a familiar voice call out to them.

"HEY! YOU THREE!! WAIT UP!"

They all turned and saw a familiar blonde teen run towards them.

"Kaa-chan?" Izuku said.

"Bakugou-kun?" Reina had also shocked.

Floyd said as he got into his stance, "YOU! About time we settled our score--ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

"I'M NOT HERE ABOUT THAT, INKHEAD!" Katsuki yelled at Floyd angrily as he stopped in his tracks. He soon turned to Reina as his face turned a little red. He soon walked over to Reina as he put his hand on her shoulder. Izuku gasped slightly at this, and Floyd yelled as this happened, "OI! What the hell are you doing?!"

Katsuki ignored what Floyd had said as he looked to the ground before he said, "... I'm sorry."

Reina was a bit confused by this before he continued, "... I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you. You got your arm broken because of me."

She was taken by surprise by this a little since it was rare for him to apologise, though she smiled reassuringly as she put her hand on his, "It's alright. Believe it or not, I've gotten worse than this. Don't apologize if it's not your fault."

Katsuki's face turned even redder at that point as he pulled his hand back. He coughed a little before he said, "G-good! You're not mad! A-A-Anyway, that's all I wanted to say…" He soon turned to Izuku, getting his demeanor back on, "AS FOR YOU DEKU!"

Izuku flinched at his nickname and Floyd jumped at his sudden outburst.

"He's back already!?" Both him and Floyd thought in unison.

"I never asked for your help, nor did I ask for the Inkhead's!" Katsuki yelled, "And you two didn't even help! Got it!? I was fine by myself! You're a Quirkless failure playing without a full deck! And as for you Inkhead, your stupid Quirk is more useless than Deku being the way he is!"

"OH THAT'S IT!" Floyd shouted "NOW IT'S ON!" As he hurls his first at Katsuki only for him to dodge but at the same time Floyd's ink gets it all over him.

"Inkhead..." Katsuki said under his breath as he was about to use his Quirk.

Floyd laughed as this happened, "HA! TAKE THAT YOU RAGING TRIGGER HAPPY PEE HAIRED LOOKING POUTY FACE LOOKING DOU--!"

Just before Katsuki could do anything, Reina instead was the one to kick him in the face which caught both Izuku and Katsuki by surprise.

"THAT WASN'T A VERY NICE THING TO DO TO BAKUGOU-KUN!" Reina yelled as she continued to kick him, "IF ANYONE IS TRIGGER HAPPY AROUND HERE IT'S YOU!"

Floyd yelled as he was kicked, "HEY, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON?! THIS DUDE IS A TURDBALL!"

"TURDBALL OR NOT, HE'S STILL MY FRIEND YOU INKY DINKY IDIOT!" Reina yelled, hitting him in the gut.

Floyd cried out as he was kicked again and again, "Dude! Chill!"

Katsuki soon turned back to Izuku looking at him with anger, "As I was saying before Inkhead's interruption… DON'T YOU DARE LOOK DOWN ON ME! Never think you're trying to owe me! REMEMBER THAT YOU DAMN NERD AND HALF BREED!"

With that he turned and stomped away leaving the three of them alone. "See you tomorrow, Bakugou-kun!" Reina said as she waved, making him walk a little faster.

Floyd said as he got up off the ground, "What a dingus."

"Come on, you're being dramatic." Reina said.

"Well next time I see him… He's dead!" Floyd shouted.

Izuku soon heaved a deep sigh before he said, "Though it's as Kaa-chan said… I can't accomplish or change anything." Reina and Floyd looked at Izuku surprised at this, "But I'm glad… Now I can think of a more realistic future…" He said.

"Izuku-kun…" Reina said with worry as she followed him.

Floyd said to him, "Forget what Bakugou said! I'm sure you have what it takes to be a he--"

"I AM HERE!" A familiar voice had shouted suddenly, cutting off Floyd.

The three teens let out a cream when they saw All Might appear from out of the corner of the block. "ALL MIGHT!?" They all exclaimed.

Floyd yelled at him, "SERIOUSLY DUDE! Timing much?!"

"Wait a minute! How did you even get here!?" Reina exclaimed.

"Last I checked you were surrounded by reporters!" Izuku added.

All Might merely laughed before he proceeded to pose, "Getting away from them was a piece of cake! Why? Because I am All Migh--!"

This time All Might had been cut off abruptly as he changed back into his true form suddenly, causing the three of them to scream again.

"HE'S DOING IT AGAIN!" Reina & Izuku freaked out.

"SERIOUSLY, IS HE POSSESSED BY AN ENEMY STAND?!" Floyd shouted

"WRONG SHOW!" Reina yelled as she hit him on the head.

All Might coughed a little before wiping the blood off of his mouth. "Young man…" He said to Izuku, "... I come with thanks, a correction, and a suggestion. If you hadn't been there… If you hadn't told me about your life… I would've turned into a guy in a bodysuit who was all talk."

He soon turned to Reina who was taken back a little, "And you young Nouki, I have you to thank as well. You opened my eyes and let me see what was really in front of me."

Both Izuku and Reina turned red from embarrassment from this. "That can't be!" Izuku said, "... It was our fault in the first place."

"Ye--yeah, and I barely did anything!" Reina said, "Besides I came out of this with a broken arm."

Floyd had said, "And I got a couple of scratches here.."

Izuku had added, "Not to mention we got in the way of your work, and I said all those impertinent things even though I'm a Quirkless…"

"Exactly." All Might said, surprising them, "It was because you were a Quirkless you at the scene that I was able to act. Top heroes have stories about them in their school days, most of them have one thing in common: Their bodies move before they have the chance to think. That was true for you… Wasn't it?"

While Reina and Floyd stood there unfazed they noticed Izuku go to his knees as he started to cry; As the two went to comfort him, All Might had said one thing that had simply moved them.

"Young man…" All Might said, "... You too can become a hero…"

Izuku started to cry loudly as Reina and Floyd both smiled at this, both of them glad to hear this from everyone's idol, Reina especially. Ever since Izuku had told Reina about how he wanted to become a hero without a Quirk, she supported him however she could. Though she has a Quirk of her own she rarely had to rely on it thanks to her training from her Guardian. She knew that even someone who was considered small can do big things. She was happy for Izuku though what she and Floyd didn't expect was--

"You young man…" All Might said to Izuku, "... You're worthy to inherit my power."

The three of them looked to All Might, all with surprised and perplexed looks on their faces.

"Huh?" Was all they could say.
