Izuku Midoriya, neglected and bullied due to his lack of a quirk, endured abuse from his family and friends, especially his twin sister Izumi and Katsuki Bakugo. One fateful day, when locked outside his home, Izuku was kidnapped and taken to a secre...
As Aizawa and Nezu left the room, it was just me and Nemuri. She was quiet for a moment, her eyes searching mine before she leaned in closer, her voice soft and full of affection.
Nemuri:I'm really proud of you, Izuku
she said, her tone gentle and sincere.
"Thanks...," I replied, my voice wavering slightly.
Izuku:Saying all those things out loud... it took a lot out of me.
Nemuri smiled softly and kissed my forehead, a gesture that was both comforting and reassuring.
Nemuri:I get it, Izuku. Just take it one step at a time, and remember, I'm here for you.
I gave her a small, tired smile in return.
Izuku:I know. Thank you.
After a moment, I left the room and made my way to my quarters. But before I could reach my door, I found someone waiting for me-a figure I wasn't expecting.
"Hey, Izuku," the man said, his voice low and almost hesitant. It was All Might, but not in his powerful, heroic form. This was Toshinori Yagi, the man behind the Symbol of Peace, sitting there in his shrunken, weakened form.

I clenched my fist instinctively, but I sighed and let it go.
Toshinori:You got a minute?
he asked, his voice almost pleading.
I nodded, gesturing for him to enter. He sat on a chair across from me while I settled onto my bed, the tension in the room palpable.
Izuku:So, you'll be teaching at UA
I said, my tone even, almost casual, though there was an edge to my words.
He nodded, but his face was troubled.
Toshinori:Izuku... I wanted to apologize for everything. For being the hero that failed you. For not saving you... I, I, I'm so sorry.
I looked at him, my eyes cold, the anger simmering just below the surface.
Izuku:I honestly don't car
I said bluntly, watching as he flinched at my words.
"My deal is," I continued, my voice growing sharper,
Izuku:why did you give One For All to Izumi? My sister, who made it her life mission to make sure I knew m place as quirkless. Who even told me to unalive myself and hope I got a quirk in my next life?
Toshinori eyes looked utterly shattered, his eyes wide with shock and despair.
Toshinori:Izuku, I-
"No," I interrupted, my voice a low growl.
Izuku:You don't get it. You saw what you wanted to see. The bright, talented, quirked kid who could follow in your footsteps, and you didn't give a damn about the rest. About the quirkless boy who was trying so hard to be like you, to be a hero, even when the whole world was telling him he couldn't.
