o It All Over (while beating reality to death with a chair)

By: RarepairKia22

He wakes up with a start.

A loud gasp escapes his throat, as he bolts upright.

For the briefest moment, confusion clouds his vision, before clarity clears things up.

But the confusion persists, as he looks around.

He is back in his bedroom, in the apartment that he shares with his mum. Which doesn't make a shred of sense.

The last he remembered, he was amidst the destroyed remnants of  human civilization fighting against Shigaraki and the epitome of evil  and villainy. He couldn't exactly pinpoint what had happened, but he  remembered that things were going tits up, when suddenly, he woke up  back in his childhood bedroom, a place he had not slept in for the  better part of a year.

Immediately, with questions very rapidly overrunning any answers  he may have, he immediately turns on his bedside table lamp, and looks  to an All Might-themed calendar that he remembered being pinned to the  wall opposite from his bed.

His heart, instantly, stops.

...

...

He is fourteen again.

He is a middle school student again.

Somehow, he is in the past, almost two years before the events that he last remembered.

It was at that moment, in his childhood bedroom several hours  before he was due to wake up, Midoriya Izuku spoke three words that  eloquently summed up the situation.

"What the fuck...?"

Seeing that sleep is no longer possible, Izuku gets out of bed and  starts pacing around the room. With the hurricane of questions tearing  through his head, Izuku tries to put everything into a workable order  and piece together how and why he is in his current predicament.

First, the facts.

He is almost two years in the past, back as a fourteen-year-old  attending his final year of middle school. The date on the calendar is  the fateful day where he meets All Might after the Slime Villain nearly  kills him in that underpass, has his dreams destroyed by said Symbol of  Peace, realises that the Slime Villain had escaped and had taken Kacchan  hostage, tries to rescue Kacchan when all of the responding heroes  simply stand around and do fucking nothing while his childhood friend  (read: bully and abuser) drowned in slime, gets rebuked by said  (useless) heroes for acting recklessly after All Might saves the day,  and then encounters All Might who retracts his soul-crushing advice to  be "realistic" and declares him worthy to be his successor.

And, to top it all off, he is quirkless once more, because All Might has not transferred One for All to him as of yet.

Except...as Izuku very quickly discovers, that is not exactly true?

When he pauses in his pacing, Izuku feels a hum within his body  (back to his weak, noodle self), something that he knows was not there  when he was quirkless. He clenches his right fist, and a spark of green  light dances across his fingers, bright enough to light up the room  further for the briefest of seconds.

The realisation hits him with the force of a Texas Smash.

Somehow, One for All has travelled back with him.

Although, given how that single spark of green light was also  accompanied by a slight jolt of pain, the stockpile quirk had been  (conveniently, he might add) muted down in tandem with the loss of his  physical strength, which is just as well, since Izuku had no intention  of blowing himself up in a cloud of blood and liquified organic matter  so early in the plotline.
