(Y/N POV)

We learned that being a hero isn't some fun, superhero game to play and get free money.

A real hero got hurt, threw punches, and served Justice.

What we were getting ourselves into.

We learned what real heroes do, true and strong Pro's.

All the people knew about what happened at the USJ, how the villains, known as "League of Villains", were focused on Killing All Might because of the news. My Aunt was worried, hell she threw a tantrum about why can't I just be a store clerk like a normal person be, quoting her words; "Why the fuck can't you just be normal, instead of some great, always injured hero.! I might come home someday and you're dead!"

You best be joking if you think I'm leaving Yuuei that easily.

I was sitting on Izuku's bed, in his room. It was heavily decorated with All Might merch, but I know from the 100 times I've been over. Izuku was in his chair by his desk, his feet on the chair and knees up to his chest while he replayed the All Might video about him saving over 100 people many, many times, as usual. He also picked up a dumbbell, curling it.

"Zuzu.?" I quietly ask, causing Izuku to snap out of his thoughts and pause the video and his weight-lifting.

"Ah, yes, Y/N?" He asked, smiling sheepishly and tugging on the back of his neck.

"...Earlier. When me, Todoroki, Kirishima and Kacchan were talking about going to fight the villains that started to come back, why were you so focused on All Might? You also... seemed.. I don't know, scared." I asked, my brows knitting together a bit.

It was quite obvious when Izuku started stuttering and mumbling out random words, "I- um.. W-well I...!" but Izuku's mom fortunately knocked on the door, "Izuku? Y/N?"

Izuku widened his eyes, letting out a relieved sigh, "Yeah?"

Inko opened the door, smiling a bit while speaking softly, "Lunch time. Your guys' food's getting cold."

"I'll be right there. Thanks, mom." Izuku nodded.

"Thank you, Miss. Inko!"

I and Izuku walk out of his room after a second of cleaning up. I had stole a couple of glanced to Izuku, but he looked rather calmed so I decided to not bring up All Might again.

"Eat up! Those new muscles of yours need lots of fuel." She smiled excitedly, gesturing towards Izuku and me when we sat at the table.

Everyone was excitedly speaking about how the news got a picture of them from USJ, "Though I bet nobody noticed me hanging out in the background.." Toru Hagakure sadly said.

"Probably not.." Mezou Shoji tried to politely admit.

Mashirao Ojiro tried explaining to reassure Toru, "It's hard to stand out when you're two floating gloves without a body..."

"We're totally big deals. Those new channels love us- we're basically celebrities." Denki proudly said, smirking and turning to look at Eijiro.

"Yeah, it's kinda crazy, right?" Eijiro agreed.

"Oh get over yourselves." Kyoka rolled her eyes, "The hero course that pumps out pros was attacked and thats what they care about."

Hanta, who sat beside folded his arms on the desk, "Who knows what woulda happened to us if the pros didn't show up."
