Fortune Favors the Bold

Being a hero

'' Hello Miss Yaoyorozu.'' Izuku spoke softly as Momo walked up to him. The younger girl smiled'' Hello Yagi, Nice to see you again.'' Izuku could only give a small smile before walking toward the corner of the room. It was by far the place he felt safest in. He could easily see everyone. He could look at everyone without anyone coming from behind. And with Izuku having gone before. People were aware of this. And a single chair was placed there. It was so Izuku did not have to pull a chair to the side.

Izuku's eyes glossed over the entire room. The small crowd that had always been at every gala once again had shown up. They all gave a small signal to Izuku when they noticed him looking at them. They understood the fear Izuku had for people. They would not push themselves at Izuku, No matter how much they would be okay with befriending the son of All Might and Tele-Green.'' Hey Izuku, Here.'' Cathleen walked up with a water. Izuku used both hands to grab the glass'' Thank you, Cathleen.'' How are you feeling, More familiar?'' Izuku nodded'' I-I was planning on walking around.'' Cathleen just smiled as she messed with his hair slightly.

'' Want me around you.'' Izuku shook his head'' You all have done enough for me. Even if you don't mind, I have to do things myself, I have to still do things I am afraid of.'' Damn Izuku, Your starting to be even more mature than me.'' Cathleen joked before walking off. She had always kept an eye on Izuku at these galas. Inko and Toshi had done the same. Constantly wanting to see if he was still doing well. Izuku stood up, Taking a big sip of the water, Before walking forward.

He walked slowly, circling the outside but trying to get closer and closer as time passed. But as the door opened. Izuku's eye snapped toward it. He could only blink before his quirk activated

++DANGER++

Izuku had no idea why his quirk said this. Only then did he notice. The man held a gun. His finger was firmly on the trigger, and he aimed it at the group.'' THIS IS WHAT HERO SCUM GETS'' He screamed angrily. His voice filled with hatred and rage. This was purely revenge for something. His quirk again activated

Line of sight detected, Momo Yaoyorozu.

Izuku blinked as his body moved on its own. He was not the only one that moved. Toshinori, Cathleen, Inko, and Enji all moved first. Each one rushed toward the gunman. But he pulled the trigger. The bullet flew through the air. And it was directed at Momo.'' MOMO'' Momo's mother Fumika Yaoyorozu yelled as she saw her daughter drop. Only not because of a bullet, Izuku pushed her out of the way. Jumping against her, Saving her from the gun, But taking the bullet himself.'' IZUKU.'' Inko yelled seeing Izuku fall over. The gunman was stopped instantly

Before he was able to pull the trigger twice, Toshinori was on him, He grabbed the gun. His hand is still around it. Toshinori just squeezed. Completely crushing the hand and pistol into scraps. Cathleen was on him aswell, Her knee buried deep in his guts. Instantly defeated, they ran right back to Izuku. Inko was on his first. She checked both.'' are you two fine?'' She asked, looking over both'' I am.'' Izuku said. Only to look at his arm. The bullet had hit him straight in the arm. The metal arm had stopped working, Only being able to move back and forth, the fingers no longer working.

Inko released a breath she didn't know she had. Her heart had dropped believing Izuku had just been shot.'' I apologize miss Yaoyorozu. It was rude of me to push you, B.'' You saved my life,'' Momo said as her father and mother hugged her tightly as they triple-checked her.'' N-no, I pushed you.'' Inko just hugged Izuku. The gunman's action would have dire consequences. The gala had closed down quickly after the fact, the Police taking a statement of the heroes.

Back at home. Izuku sat on the couch, Inko next to him, holding his hand. Something she had not let go of the entire time.'' Izuku what you did do today.'' It was reckless, I understand sir, I won't do it again.'' No,'' Toshi caught himself, Placing his hand on his lap.'' What you did today, was heroic. You saved a life, What you did was so extremely brave.'' I-I don't know sir, I didn't move, my body just acted.'' Yes, Heroic. Without the selfish thought of getting something, or saving yourself, You stepped in to save someone. The essence of Heroism.'' Toshinori could not be more proud.
