Deku the Genius

Chapter Twenty: Battle of Wills

  Izuku smiled at the supervillain.

  "What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

  All for One chuckled quietly.

  "Well, I have watched your career with interest. The analysis you have done on heroes and villains alike is most impressive. I would like to.. request that you join me. I have many uses for the knowledge you carry." He said.

  Izuku hummed in thought.

  "And if I refuse?" He asked.

  "Most unfortunate..."

  All for One surged forwards at an impossible speed.

  "I shall have to make you."

  The villain reached out and placed his hand over Izuku's face.

  All Might stood in a room full of heroes. Most of the top ten were here, and several skilled heroes were also present. Nezu was the one leading the raids.

  "Best Jeanist, take a few heroes and target the Nomu factory. The beacon Yayorozu was able to make will lead you there. They won't fight back without orders, do you shouldn't worry about disposing of them, just move them from where they're supposed to be. That will prevent the warper from collecting reinforcements."

  The number three hero nodded, gazing down at the maps plans and files strewn across the large table.

  "All Might, you take the lead on the bar raid. That is most likely where they're holding Midoriya. The leader will probably be there too."

  All Might got the unspoken message.

  You take All for One down for good this time. If you take him out of the picture, the league will quickly fall too.

  Izuku blinked. Interesting. He was in a very long, very tall corridor. The walls were bookshelves that stretched up until he couldn't see them anymore, and across until they disappeared into the distance. The bookshelves were full of notebooks. Hundreds of thousands of notebooks, all different sizes, thicknesses, colours and formats.

  Some were ratty old ones, others were shiny and new. A few were old and well worn, but obviously well looked after.

  Izuku selected an older notebook, opening it.

  He blinked.

  He was.. in a familiar place. The doctors office.

  "Sorry kid, but it's not happening."

  Izuku's eyes widened.

  "Interesting. So the notebooks are.. memories? So this is my mindscape."

  Izuku was still holding the notebook. He closed it, and he went back to the notebook corridor.

  Izuku turned around, spotting a large wooden door, hanging open. There was a white room, and then another door, also open. Izuku could see a cozy living room, modeled from the pre quirk era. There was an armchair, and a fireplace.

  Izuku smiled.

  "This is a very cool quirk.."

___________

  All Might knocked on the door.

  "Kamino la pizza delivery!" He said.

  Izuku explored the corridor some more. He found a door, at the opposite end of the long corridor. It was locked tight. A white haired man in a bespoke suit was trying to get it open.
