Faster Than Life (MHA X Flash)

Episode 2: Painful Training.

Izuku Pov:

"My name is Wally West. Like you, I was born quirkless. But eight years ago, I was struck by a bolt of Lightning from the Flash and given his same abilities. With those, I became the Hero Kid Flash. I used my speed to help save people and make the world a better place.

Then, three years ago, the Flash and I were requested to join a team All Might was putting together to stop an evil that has existed since the creation of quirks. His name is All For One. His ability is to take the quirks of others.

Thinking his brother was weak and quirkless, he forced a weak random quirk he had on him. The power to stockpile energy. However, his little brother was not quirkless. He had the ability to transfer power to others. The quirks mixed together and created One For All.

For generations, One For All had been passed down to user after user as a sacred torch. That would be used to combat the darkness of All For One. But each user, no matter how strong they were, were never able to defeat All For One. Not even All Might.

In a last ditch effort to keep the hope of defeating All For One alive, All Might with his final bit of strength passed the quirk on to me, and tasked me with surviving and increasing the quirks power. After that, I spent the next three years in hiding and on the run from All For One. Often being forced to fight his creatures.

This quirk is no blessing. It is a responsibility. A target will be on your back. And possibly the people you care about as well. If you chose not to take it, I completely understand. And I still believe that without it, you can still become a hero.

But I truthfully believe that you are worthy and capable of bearing this responsibility. And I would personally train you in using its power. So, Midoriya Izuku... Do you accept One For All?"

Honestly, this all seems unreal. Meeting the thought to be dead Kid Flash. Him offering me All Might's quirk. The whole idea of being able to give or take quirks in the first place is honestly insane. But he doesn't seem to be lying. So the question is. Do I accept it?

Is this what I've been waiting for all these years? He was one of my favorite heroes. Someone I looked up to. How could anyone turn down his offer?

"I've always wanted to be a hero. One like A-All Might. S-S-So... Yes. I'll train under you. West-sama" He rubs the back of his head while chuckling.

"Um, just call me Wally."

"Of course, Wally Sensei." He sweat drops again.

"But um S-Sensei. Does this mean I'm n-not g-going to be able to train at UA?"

"The Hero School?"

"Y-Yeah. It's the number one hero school in J-Japan. It was always a part of my dream to go there. B-But I understand if y-y-you think I shouldn't. So we can hide better." Oh man. How am I going to tell my mom about all this? Sensei ponders it for a moment before responding.

"I'm pretty sure I'm on the young end for choosing a successor. Just going off of All Might and his master. All For One probably isn't predicting me to be training a student yet. He probably won't be looking for me in Japan either. And if he finds me, then I'll leave to get him away from you and come back when I can."

"So does that mean-

"I think it would be good for you to go to UA. From what I've heard, it does produce strong heroes. Even All Might went there when he was younger. Barry even told me he was considering transferring there during his second year of high school. I think attending UA will help you fly under the radar a bit."

I try to wipe my face, but every time I do more tears, I just come out anyway. I have a chance. To be a great hero. For my mom. For All Might. For Me.

"First things first, you're going to need to go through a major training arc. No offense. How long until the UA entrance exams?"
