✦The Past That Haunts Us✦ [Midoriya Izuku]

Peace is once more a reality thanks to your husband. After having successfully defeated the new All For One villain as well as all his underlings, Midoriya finds himself sleeping tranquilly in the living room. Overnight patrol still does quite a number on him despite he being the #1 hero of Japan. 

You watch from the couch across from him, a smile adorning your lips. Never has he had a break defeating villains. You understood the lifestyle, having been a hero yourself back in the day. But at the precipice of the All For One battle, you injured yourself quite extensively to help your husband. The devastation was insurmountable. You recall the guilt on his face when he had heard the news.

However, all that is now in the past. You fold that last of the clothes and place them in the hamper for your husband to sort them in their respective dressers and closets. 

The soft knock against the door calls for your attention and you slowly head towards the entrance of your apartment. Pain gnaws at your ankles due to the weight that you carry on your abdomen. The kicking your unborn child adds to the discomfort, but you ignore it all to open the door. A man hands you a few parcels before bidding goodbye.

You place your hand on your back as you head towards the kitchen. Upon scanning each piece of mail, you come upon one addressed to you, [Full Name]. You hadn't been called by your maiden name in quite some time, having collected the Midoriya family name a few years back.

"No sender?" You tilt your head as you make your way back to the couch. Izuku's small snore warms your heart amidst the confusion; you place a peck on his forehead before settling back down.

Deft hands pry the envelope open and you realize that someone had sent you a letter. Before you can grab it, a murderous cramp gripes at your abdomen and you let out a muffled scream. You do well in concealing the severity of the cramp in hopes of your husband retaining his sleeping state.

The pain comes in quick succession and you realize that you might be having a false labor phase. Pain of this magnitude, your doctor has said, might make you think that you're in labor but ends up false most of the time. Not wanting to disturb Izuku, you bite your lip as you go about what you were doing before.

You bring out two pages worth of writing and notice how aged the parchment is. Once straightened, you begin reading the letter:

'Dearest [Full Name],

I hope this letter finds you well. If you are reading this, then I most probably have passed. This letter was scheduled in the matter that I could not tell you this in person. But I believe you have a right to know since you will bear a child soon.'

Unconsciously, a hand slides down to rub your belly.

'The most pressing matter is that I introduce myself. My name is Shigaraki Yoshiro. You may also know me as All For One as does the world. Many of times I have found myself and my ambitions curtailed by my brother's descendants. The idea that One For All can return stronger each time while I must bore the labors of empowering myself did not seem equitable.

I had thought of that when I saw Shimura Nana pass down the torch to Toshinori Yagi. Pathetic as she was, she chose a fine successor. I believed that if I was forced to yield, I must find a way to continue my legacy, and my answers were met in her grandson, Shimura Tenko. 

Yet I felt another alternative should be suitable. Hence my creation of you. I found your mother, a beautiful women who held a quirk like my brother. It stores and strengthens the power it holds. I had my eye on her descendants for quite a while, hoping that I would not have to use them.

I showered your mother with gifts in an attempt to court her. One that she held onto was the red pendant, I know you have it in your possession. When she bore a female, my idea came into fruition and I had no need for her.

Wasn't your mother devastated when I left? I never cared for her, but the treat of having someone devoted to you till death brought an indescribable feeling. 

So why am I announcing this now?

Well, [F.Name], I had one of my underlings send out this correspondence on the last day of your pregnancy. How did they know? I'm sure you understand that we live in a society brimming with unusual quirks. My daughter, you have always been watched, always supervised, always tended to by people. 

All For One and One For All are quirks that will always be intertwined. Know this, as my true heir, that you will find yourself linked with One For All whether it be by your descendants or yourself. And when it does happen, you will produce another All For One, this time stronger. All my quirk needs is a snippet of DNA from One For All.

That is your legacy. 

That is your child's legacy.

Bore this child and continue your happy marriage. Maybe it won't be in your time, but it definitely will come. In the meantime, I will have my one of my servants capture the child before you can ruin my plans. 

You cannot escape these plans. I tell you this in the rare case that you find yourself bearing the child of Midoriya Izuku. But if not, you can continue to live a normal life and pretend that you will not bear the incarnate of my powers. Be the sheep of this society and know well that you have done your father proud.

Your father,

Shigaraki Yoshiro'

Your eyebrows raise in horror. Disbelief bites your nerves, but the accuracy of most of his statements renders true. How? How did the villain that All Might defeated be your father?! How did he know about your mother? He was jailed before you ever graced the news of being the hero Deku's wife. 

How? Why now? And...

You glance down at your protruding belly. If everything he said was true, then this child is...

"AHHH!" you roar out a scream as you fall to the floor, the pains intensifying by the second. The noise is enough to cause Izuku to wake from his nap, and he rushes to your side immediately.

"[F/N]?!" he panics, "Is it time?!"

"NO. NO IT CAN'T BE!!" you exclaim as you try to push him off of you. 

However, his honed strength doesn't deter from your meek pushes. "I'll get the hospital bag."

"NO. NO DON'T TAKE ME. I CAN'T LET THIS CHILD LIVE!"

Terror creeps onto Izuku's expression as he halts for a moment. Your statement bleeds with genuine fright, bringing confusion to the man. "How can you say that?"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" you scream once more as the pain feels too much. Your heart thrashes about in your ribcage as adrenaline pumps through your system. The doctor never warned you of such pain, just contractions, and you wonder if this has to do with the fact that you are holding an All For One user.

"PLEASE. KILL ME!" you yell before the last of your vision fails.

Izuku stares in horror as you faint on the spot, unaware of the letter that now finds itself disintegrating on the couch, wiping itself from existence. Oblivious to your reasoning, he dials for the ambulance.

Hoping that you yell from the pain and not because of something sinister.

A/N: If you are confused, the only way for the creation of the All For One quirk is for the father/mother to be an One For All user. It's destiny that those quirks will always come together... Though none of this is canon, it's all just a little coating of drama for this fic.
