Dad Problems

A Decision Made

Izuku warps his way into the speakeasy hideout of the League of Villains, several of the members greet him as he arrives and he gives his friends a soft smile as he walks past them and towards the office. He knocks twice before being beckoned by his father to enter the room. Inside sits the injured All for One, the top of his head covered in scars that expand to his eyes, multiple life support devices attached to him keeping the old man alive.

"What a pleasant surprise my son, I was not expecting you. Come in sit, let's chat about whatever is troubling you enough to be plastered on your face." Hisashi greets, knowing full well that Izuku has come here with a direct purpose in mind.

"I've been thinking... about what you and Dad Might want of me and Dad Might has offered me to become the next successor of his quirk." Izuku answers, hesitating as he does so expecting his father to be mad, but a wide grin appears on Hisashi's face.

"So, it has come full circle, One for All has come back to where it started, well. Almost. I am to assume that he had also said that it needs to be in the hands of a hero doesn't it?"

"Yes. He did." Izuku answers, his nervousness palpable as he sits across from his father.

"What was your decision then?" All for One presses his fingers together waiting for Izuku's response. Izuku pauses a moment before answering his father.

"... I am going to wield One for All."

"Excellent." Hisashi grins even wider when he hears this answer.

"What?"

"I have been striving for that quirk for Centuries my son. It is the other half of my power, when I had possessed just half of that quirk, I felt almost godlike. I attempted to even take over the world using that power. Now that you have the opportunity to gain such power, I suggest you take it." Hisashi's answer wasn't something Izuku was expecting, not even in the slightest. "While it would have been nice to see you grow and take my place as the leader of the League, I had already begun training Tomura to overtake that position before you were born. I am saddened that this path you have chosen will lead you and I to come to blows eventually, I am also proud as your father that you have decided on the future You want."

"Don't give me that, you're Dad-Might's mortal enemy, not mine. If anything mine is Kacchan. Society as we know it needs to be reformed and I am going to become a hero to change the world for the better, just like you wanted to all that time ago." Izuku responds, Hisashi stands up and embraces his son in a tight fatherly hug.

"Just because you're going to become a hero, doesn't mean we can't have our fun from time to time. Besides, I haven't even bought you your first drink yet. You can still have free reign of the base, it's not like Me or All Might could stop you anyways. You're literally a black hole when it comes to the amount of power you can possess. Now, let's go tell your mother and All Might, I'm sure they will like your decision as much as I do. After that, let's raid Kurogiri's liquor cabinet." Hisashi grins as he leads Izuku through another portal and to the apartment of Inko and All Might.

As they arrived, Izuku explained what his decision was to Toshinori who smiled happily. While he did, the blond pro looked at his nemesis who seemed happy as anything. Though he would've preferred to have Izuku succeed him, Hisashi didn't put all his chips in for Izuku to be a villain and made his own plans in case this came about. Made him sad to know Izuku was going to be a hero, but the father accepted this and remembered why he was able to be in Izuku's life to this point.

Late that night

Izuku laid in his bed with Nejire taking his left arm and Himiko taking his right. He thought hard about his decision and looked at Himiko. "Hey Himi?"
