"All men are not created equal."
That was a lesson Izuku learned at just 4 years old, and even now that still holds true. Only now the scales have tipped in his favor.
Now Izuku was told he can be a hero by both the No.1 Hero and the No.1 Villain
It only took moments for the Tatoonin Shopping District to descend into chaos. The Sludge Villain had escaped and had now taken a hostage, said hostage being Katsuki Bakugo, which was naturally a recipe for disaster.
Fortunately, lots of pros were quick to the scene and one may think they have the situation under control.
Unfortunately, you would be wrong.
With Bakugo being the choice of hostage, the entire shopping district was set alight and a good chunk of it was destroyed. The guy who proclaimed he'd be the next best thing was now letting his quirk off without a care in the world.
The pros had only made a few attempts to fight the villain and save Bakugo, poor ones at that.
Backdraft had by far done more than the other Pros on the scene. Due to the emergency services being held up, he was attempting to quell the blazes, but because of a certain pomeranian, was having little success. He was unsure if the age-old technique of 'just add water' would dilute the villain so they couldn't keep their body together or make the villain grow. He had offered to soak Kamui so he wouldn't go up in flames but said hero declined immediately.
===With Izuku and (New)Friends===
It didn't take long to arrive at the scene, upon seeing the villain Toshinori got various looks that all said "you idiot", causing the man to deflate even more.
Izuku on the other hand was beginning to panic. 'If All Might captured him, how'd he escape? Wait but I'm the reason he couldn't leave and wasted his time, this is my fault.' He mentally blamed himself.
Gran Torino seeing his expression whacked the boy with his cane in the shins causing him to lift his leg and hold it and look at the old man questioningly. "This isn't your fault, kid, it's that bozos. He's at fault, not you, because last time I checked you're a middle schooler, not a Pro-Hero." Torino answered.
Izuku just nodded and turned back to the scene, the elderly man's words didn't alleviate the guilt entirely but at least he wasn't blaming himself.
BOOM!
'. . . Hold up. I know those explosions.' And sure enough, Izuku did know them, he'd recognise that Boom-Boom Pomeranian anywhere. He was shocked to see his antagonizer in such a position, not that he had a lot of empathy for him anymore. "Ka- Bakugo?!"
"You know him?" Tsukauchi asked.
"E-erm, w-well. It's u-uh, you see..." the boy stuttered, taking a deep breath the boy replied that it was complicated, to which the detective only nodded.
Whilst all of this was occurring Small Might could only curse himself for wasting all of his time.
The crowd continued to watch wondering, why their heroes were just standing there. Was this guy going to turn out to be a legit supervillain? Where was All Might, as he was in pursuit earlier?
Izuku just continued to watch until his eyes met the terrified eyes of Bakugo...
