[３ＲＤ ＰＥＲＳＯＮ ＰＯＶ]

Izuku stand in front of All Might. Waiting for an answer. He hugged himself tightly. His mind racing waiting for what his response is going to be. His idol, his symbol, his reason. He needed to know! He has to know! ... Is all what Y/N said was true. He should believe her! But... Deep down he still want answers from others.

All Might looks over his shoulder to face the young man. "Without a quirk?" Just then he jolts and groans. He hunches over balling up his fist as steam rose off of him. "Oh no... Not now. Damnit... Not here!"

Izuku sighs as he looks down. "People think I don't have a chance. Not having any powers makes me some kind of weakling. My classmates always make fun of me. But you know what, that makes me wanna prove them wrong. Ever sense I was a kid I thought that saving people is the coolest thing you can do. I want people to see my fearless smile and feel safe. And be the kind of hero everyone looks up to. Just like Y/N, I wouldn't come this far if it wasn't for her and you!"

He looks up at All Might. Who was now shorter, a lot skinner, boney too. He didn't even look like All Might anymore. Just some skinny old version of him.

"I- wait, who, what happened!? You deflated!!" Izuku began to freak out as he looked left and right. Until the door of the building open up. Revealing Y/N at the door. "Huh, a lot easier getting in than I expected. Also, Izuku, before you decide to jump on to a superhero while they're flying up in midair,...Don't."

She tells the curly green hair boy, who stands up straight. "Y-yes ma'am! O-Oh! All Might was here! Where did he go?! You! Your not him! An imposter!" Izuku points out as he held onto Y/N shoulders as he looks at the man.

She to was confused. He did look somewhat like All Might, but it couldn't be him. Maybe it was a fake, or perhaps something had happened to him. Her dad was a pro hero sure, but there were even some things she's didn't know.

"I assure you that I am All Migh-" 'All Might' states before gush of blood comes out of his mouth. Izuku screams and Y/N sucking her teeth at the view. Not a pretty site to say the least. "AHHH IMPOSSIBLE!" He yells out at the supposed All Might.

"You know how guys at the pool are always sucking in and flexing and trying to look buff? I'm like that." He explained. His voice was a lot more monotone and deep. Could this guy be legit?

"Wow, so All Mights a catfish-" "This can't be real!! No... I'm dreaming... All Might is a giant of a man who saves everyone. He defeats all obstacles and wins the day with a fearless smile." Izuku explained not wanting the truth to BE the actual truth.

Y/N really didn't see much of a problem. But she kinda could understand. Maybe he needs to keep that strong form so it's easy for him to use his quirk? Or maybe he just wants to look good for his image. To be honest it's not really hurting no one if he's still saving the day. She wonders if her dad knows about this?

"There's plenty of fear behind that smile." He sits down on the floor of the building top looking down. "I'm counting on the both of you to keep your mouth shut. Don't go talking about this online or talking to your friends." He asked them.

Izuku was about to say something until All Might lift up his shirt, making Izuku gasp. Revealing a nasty damaged mark on the side of his body. It looked like someone took a powerful hit at him. It still look badly bruised but it also didn't look new either. Whatever hit him must have been so powerful that it's still there.

"Pretty gross right? I got this in a big fight 5 years back. My respiratory system was basically destroyed. I lost my whole stomach. All the surgeries have pretty much warned me out. I can't be fixed. Right now I can only do hero work for about 3 hours a day. Rest of the time, this is what I look like."

This information was sad to say the least. "Five years ago. That's insane. I'm amazed you can even still do hero with that damage body. Pushing yourself will cause you pain more. And if you using your form for that long causes you to bleed out like that... Maybe continuing doing hero work isn't the best idea."

Y/N explained to him as she got a bit closer to him. He looked at her with a small smile. "You sound like an old friend of mine, kid. You still are kind as ever." He tells her.

"No way...five years ago?! So does that mean it was the fight with Toxic Chainsaw?!" Deku asked rather impressively kind of impressing All Might. "Wow you know your stuff. But no, punk man landing some hits but he couldn't bring me down. Most of the world has never heard of this fight."

"I did everything I could to keep it under wrap. I'm supposed to be the type of guy that's always smiling, right? I'm the symbol of peace. People everywhere have to think I'm never afraid. But honestly, I smile to hide the fear inside. Just a brave face I put on when the pressure is high. This job isn't easy. Pro heros are always having to risk their lives. Some villains just can't be beaten without powers. So no, I honestly don't think you can become a hero without a quirk."

And with thoses words. Crushed his whole body like tumbling bricks...his hero ... His idol. Right then and there...gave him the hard truth. He can NEVER become a hero without a quirk... Never.

Izuku looks down as he felt his heart break and shattered. His mouth trembling and sweat drip down his face. "I see..." All Might stands up and faces him. "If you want to help people there are plenty other ways to do it. You can become a police officer. They get crap because the heros capture most of the villains. But it's a fine professional."

All Might walks over to the door of the building and opens it. Before stopping himself. "It's not bad to have a dream, young man. Just.. make sure your dreams are attainable.. realistic. Understand?... And Y/N, you should know better than to give him false hope. I expect better from you." And with that.. he left.

False hope? Is that what he thought she was giving him. He couldn't be anymore wrong. She wasn't giving him false hope. She was making him have hope in himself. Making him take control in his life. Not about what other thinks. He is in control of his life. Not his mom, not her, not All Might. HIM. And she was going to help him everyway she can.

"Huh, didn't even say goodbye. So rude. Anyways we should head back-" Before Y/N could finish her sentence an explosion occurred at a part of the city. "Well that can't be good." "*Gasp!* A villain! I wonder what hero will show up!" He was about to run over to the door until he stops.

The words that All Might said branded into his mind. He slumps his head down in defeat. Y/N seeing this as she fixes up her sunglasses. Looking over at the explosion. "You should go, Y/N..."

She looks over at Izuku with confusion. "What do you mea-" "You don't have to keep hanging with me out of pity. I see it now...I can't be a hero. Thank you for always believing in me, but All Might is right. I can't be a hero without a quirk. And right there someone down there needs to be saved... "

Y/N just looks at him. She saw tears run down his face. The explosion got bigger over there and smoke began to spread. She looks back at him before getting closer to him. Punching him in the arm hard. "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FO-" She then hugs him...but not just any hug. It felt warm and comfortable. He felt safe and happy in her embrace. "You should really stop saying dumb stuff, Izu. I know your smarter than that."

Izuku hugged onto her and cried. Sobbing into her shoulder. Crying and crying. He held onto her for dear life. His knees going weak. "Why am I so weak!?...why couldn't I be born without a quirk!?... Y/N is to good for me."

"Get home safe. Some of our class students live over there. I'm going to see how much I can help out. Please call me when you get home. Once I'm done I'll come over." She places a hand on my shoulder...I couldn't even smile...I just stood there like an idiot.

"Yes Y/N."

[３ＲＤ ＰＥＲＳＯＮ ＰＯＶ]

Y/N quickly make it to the area where the crime was taking place. It was happening at the Tatooin Shopping District. She looked around to see what was going on... It was that sludge monster that attacked her and Izuku. But off about him... He had taken over another person's body.

Y/N took a better look at the monster... before her eyes sockets widen...It was Bakugo.

The Pros Heros came to take action as they were helping the civilians get out of the area and away from the villain. It appears the villain has took in someone hostage and is using their quirk. All the pro Heroes were too busy saving everyone else that they couldn't even save him!

Y/N threw down her bookbag and ran through the crowd slipping past the heros. "WAIT GIRL! COME BACK! ITS NOT SAFE!" She had saw that a giant piece of a building was coming crashing down onto some people. She quickly got in front of them and shot a giant laser beam at it making it explode. As only a few bits of pebbles dropped onto the ground.

Everyone cheered for her. But she wasn't worried about that. Her main concern was to help out her fellow student. She made eye contact with Bakugo who looked at her...she could tell he was scared.

"Can you guys get to him!?" Backdraft yells out to the other heros. "It won't be easy!" Y/N yells out as she looks at the villain. "Getting a hold of his body will nearly be unlikely. And with that students quirk, it makes it even harder to get a grab! Stand back!" She yells out.

Taking off her sunglasses. Her hollow eyes lighting up as they began to spark. Before sending a powerful blast towards the villain. "YOU AGAIN!?!" He yells out in anger. The blast started to break him apart, but because of Bakugos quirk, he sends a explosion her way, making her stop her quirk.

She made him weak for now. But he's going to keep rehealing himself. Because of this, she had to think. "Miss! We need to wait for someone else with a quirk to handle this!" Death Arms yelled out to her. "But if we wait this city will be a grave yard! We need to keep attacking until someone comes to help! Don't just stand there! There is a kid in there who needs heros more than anything!"

All Might finally came to the scene of the crime. He looks a head to see the same villain he had captured. Damn it. It was all his fault. If only he was paying attention none of this wouldn't happen. He took a better look, do see Young L/N?! What was she doing!? Fats not gonna be happy when he hears this. None of this would happened if I wasn't worried about my time limit... How pathetic.

[ＩＺＵＫＵ＇Ｓ　ＰＯＶ]

I walked down the sidewalk looking through my notebook.

"He'll never be a hero."

"Better to find out now instead of later, I guess."

"Make sure your dreams are attainable."

Tears drip down my eyes as I closed my notebook and looked at it.

'Even All Might said it. A hero needs a quirk... Don't cry damnit. Be grateful Y/N at least thought you could be one.... But deep down you knew this. All along. You've just been avoiding reality. That's why you were trying to desperately to prove yourself wrong... Y/N probably thinks I'm such a loser now. I can never be a hero to her...she will never lo-'

An explosion broke me out of my train of thought. Are they looked over at the sound of the noise. 'Thats strange...is the fight from earlier still going on?...why am I here? Did I subconsciously walk this way to check it out?"

I got closer and looked at the crowed of people. I shouldn't even stop. All my notes are useless. I the gasp when I saw the scene! Y/N was fighting the villain! She was hurt. Badly in her arm. It was burned, and her eyes were bleeding. I looked at the villain. It was the same villain as before! The one she and All Might saved me from. But that can't be right... All Night captured him! But the bottle... If he dropped it, that means...it's my fault.

"Why aren't the heros doing anything? And why is that girl the only one trying to fight. She can't do it alone!"

"It looks like they met their match. That girl is being stupid and careless. Plus the villain captured a kid."

Careless?! Stupid?! How dare they say something like that! At least she is trying to save Kachan! She is being a true hero!...but now she is in a dangerous situation...I'm the one to blame. All Might wasted his energy on me. He can't power up yet to even help anyone... And Y/N is fighting alone. None of the other heros have the quirk to stop this monster.

Its my fault... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry Y/N... I'm sorry All Might... Help will show up and save the day I'm sure!

Someone...

A real hero will come soon!

Another explosion came towards Y/N causing her to fly back and hit a wall. Looking at the villain and seeing Kachan's face... Something in me snapped. I dropped my notebook and ran over to the fight. All the heros looked at me in shock.

"NO YOU IDIOT! STOP, YOUR GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED" But I didn't care. I had to go save Kachan! I have to go save Y/N!!

"Izuku. I don't think...I know you can become a hero. It will not be easy if you can defend yourself. But... I've seen you Izuku. If you put your mind to something you always get the job done."

Y/N...my whole life... You've stood by my side... If I try to be a hero... I want to be by your side to matter what!!

I ran over to her and help her up. Her body had some burn marks and her head was bleeding. But nothing else looked to bad. She looked at me as she smiles?! How could she smile at a time like this. She places a hand on my shoulder, standing herself up straight. "Go save Bakugo, Hero." She said to me.

What am I doing!? My feet started to run in their own as I rushed to the villain. This is crazy! Why am I even running?! Why can't I stop!? The villain saw me and he wasn't happy.

"YOU AGAIN! YOUR TOAST KID!!" He starts to throw attacks my way as I hope through flames of fire and broken parts of objects. What will I do?! What would a hero do right now!? What would Y/N tell me to do!...No! I have to figure this out on my own! Like Y/N said! I must be my own person!

I then remember a page in my notebook of one of the heros.... Page 25!! Right! I snatch off my bookbag and throw it at the villain. One of my books hitting it in the eye as Kachan's head fully shows. As he gasp for air. "KACHAN!" I yelled out. Trying to claw through the sludge.

"WHAT THE HELL?! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" He yelled at him. "I DON'T KNOW! MY LEGS JUST STARTED MOVING!" I didn't stop trying to get him out. I don't know why I did what I did. Memories flushed in my head.

Maybe it was seeing Y/N get hurt for the first time... Or maybe it was the look on his face....

Tears ran down my face as I look at him. "Kachan... I couldn't just stand their and watch you die...and Y/N get hurt!! I just couldn't let that happen!"

The villain grew out a giant sludge hand and raised it up at me. "Just a little bit longer kid! AND I'M DONE PLAYING WITH YOU!" I looked up at the Monster as I froze. I closed my eyes waiting for impact.

"I really am pathetic."

That voice, I look up to see who it was. It was All Might! But back in his other form! He saved me!

"I told you the trick to make a great champion. But I see now...I wasn't living up to my own IDEA!" He pushes the villain back snapping it's grasp off of All Mights hand. I watched amazed. "Pros are always risking their lives. That's the true test of a hero!!"

I felt myself being pushed away the fight. Backing me away from it so I didn't get hurt. It was Y/N. She didn't have her sunglasses on, as she had a burn mark on her cheek and her uniform leave was ripped. Her arm bleeding and her head as well. But she still had a brave smile on her face...

"DETROIT! SMAAAAASH!" All Might yells out sending a powerful punch to the villain as it obliterates the villain. While holding onto Kachan so he didn't fly away. The punch was so powerful that Y/N wrapped her arm around me pushing me closer to her body as she held onto a light pole.

I closed my eyes tightly waiting for it to be over. I opened my eyes back up to see everyone looking at All Might in shock. I can't believe that just happened... Y/N placed me down as I fell to my knees. Still holding onto her hand.

"Huh? It's raining?"

"Don't tell me all that wind just now was..."

"Look at the clouds...their moving."

All Might stands back up. As everyone's faces changed from shock to over joy expression. They all cheered for him. All Might Night raises up his fist in victory.

╚»★«╝╚»★«╝╚»★«╝

After that, the heros collected all the scattered mounts of sludge and the villain went under police custody where he belonged.

"You moron! Do you have a death wish!"

"There was absolutely no reason for you to put your self in danger like that!"

I got chewed up by the heros big time. Mean while Y/N and Kachan got praised for their bravery. Y/N especially for her being the daughter of a Pro Hero... I can't believe she never told me...more importantly...how did I not found out?!

Y/N was still hurt badly. She was surrounded by different heros and people. While she got her arm bandage up and clean her off. I felt bad... I still felt like it was my fault.

I wanted to say sorry to All Might but he surrounded by interviewers. I didn't want to interrupt. Y/N was asked to stay longer but she wanted to walk home with me.

"I'm sorry Y/N." I told her not not making eye contact with her. "I told you, Izu. I'm not upset. If anything I'm so proud of you. You did amazingly. You were brave. You did something the heros couldn't even do. You didn't give up." She puts her arm around me. Looking at me as I look at her.

"You were my hero, Izuku Midoriya."

Y/N...that's all I've ever wanted to hear from you. All I ever wanted to hear from you... That I was your hero. I felt like I was going to cry right then and there. Until...

"DEKU, "

We both turned around to see Kachan running up to us. "Hey look its KitKat. Huh, never realized how crazy his hair is...I wonder if he wakes up like that or if it's on purpose?.." She whispers to me that made me cover my mouth not wanting to laugh.

"Listen... I would never ask for a weakling like you to help me. Don't think that you can look down on me! Huh!? Got that!? I was fine by myself! You're just a quirkless failure who wouldn't even cut it as a cop!! You didn't help me!...you did nothing! Don't forget it. And you! You didn't help me either! Your dumbass nearly got yourself killed! You can't become a hero if you you are to freaking careless!" He then turns around and stomps of yelling he doesn't owe us anything.

"What was that?" I asked confused. "That's a weird way of saying thank you. Maybe the sludge got into his brain." She joked as she pulls out a new pair of sunglasses. Putting them on her face.

Kachan is right though. Actually did anything to help today. But, at least I tried. Y/N said she was proud of me. She said I was her hero! Me! Izuku! But I still don't think I have what it really takes to be a her-

"I AM HERE!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH! *Gasp* All Might!? Why are you here!? Hu- how did you get rid of all those reporters?" I asked him looking around. "Must you always make a heart attack of an entrance?" Y/N added holding onto her chest.

"AH HA HA HA HA! THATS JUST HOW I ROLE! AND I STAND FOR JUSTICE! NOT STANDBYS! BECAUSE I- I AM ALL MI- GAAH!" All Might then poofs back to normal coughing up blood as I scream out again.

"Young man, I came here to thank you. And also to discuss your question from earlier. If you hadn't told me about your life. If you hadn't run into that fight. I would have been a worthless bystander watching from the crowd. So thanks." He thanks me. Y/N nudging my shoulder with a smirk.

"O-Oh no! It was my fault he was there to begin with. I got in the way of your hard work. I wasted your energy and not to mention your time." I told him sadly.

"I'm not done. You told me you didn't have a power. The one I saw this timid quirkless boy trying to save a life it inspired me to act too... There are stories about every hero. How they became great. They all have one thing in common. Their bodies move before they have a chance to think. Almost on their own..."

I looked at All Might with wide eyes. I felt them swell up again with tears as I looked down. Balling up my fist. Gripping on to my chest as I hunched over clenching my teeth as tears roll down my face... I remembered those words Y/N said to me.

"And today...that's what happened to you." All Might told me. Thoses words...it was possible. It could be possible. Y/N you were right. I should have listened to you. You knew I could do it all along! You always believed in me. You were right! "Young man, you too can become a hero."

"Dreams can become reality. Oh, by the way. I forgot to mention that this is the story...
Of how I became the world's greatest hero!"
