Venom's Hero Host

Roaring Muscles

Two days later, early morning, at Dagoba Municipal Beach Park.

Midoriya strains, trying to pull a heavy fridge with All Might squatting on top.

Midoriya: "Ngh! Urgh... Grrr!"

All Might: "Hey, hey, hey! This is such a comfy fridge to sit on!"

Midoriya slips and nearly falls forward.

Midoriya: "Ah!"

All Might: "If you could move it even a little, it would be a little easier."

Midoriya: "Ugh... Well yeah, I mean, you weigh 274 kilograms, right?"

All Might: "No, I lost weight, so I'm only 255 kilograms now in this form."

Midoriya exhales heavily.

Midoriya: "Haa... Anyway, why am I dragging trash at the beach park?"

All Might (laughing): "Hahahaha... It's 'cause, you know, you're not a proper vessel."

Suddenly, from nearby, a light chuckle rings out.

Y/n: "Sounds like someone needs to build more than just muscles."

Midoriya and All Might turn toward the voice. Y/n approaches, casually balancing a bag of collected trash over her shoulder, her hidden wings tucked beneath her jacket.

Midoriya: "Y/n! You're already here?"

Y/n (grinning): "Wouldn't miss it. Thought I'd help clean up and get some training in. Plus, carrying trash is a lot less boring than punching sludge monsters."

All Might: "Ah, Y/n! Excellent timing. Midoriya's just learning the hard way that becoming a hero isn't all flashy quirks."

Y/n crouches beside the fridge, inspecting it.

Y/n: "Not to mention the heavy lifting that gets overlooked. Let me help."

She slings the bag off her shoulder and, with a quick burst of strength, pulls one side of the fridge slightly forward. Midoriya's eyes widen in surprise.

Midoriya: "Wow! How do you make it look so easy?"

Y/n (shrugging): "I've had some... unique training. Also, Venom's been helping with stamina."

All Might: "Venom? Ah, yes, the symbiotic partner she carries. Quite the asset, though one must be careful with such power."

Midoriya nods, then looks back at the stack of papers All Might pulls out.

All Might: "This is the 'Aim to Pass: American Dream Plan!' It's your guide to becoming the perfect vessel for One For All."

Midoriya: "Even sleep time is included..."

Y/n (smirking): "Sounds brutal. But hey, you've got a whole squad now."

Midoriya: "Yeah! Training here with All Might and... you."

Y/n: "Exactly. Don't think you have to do this alone."

All Might: "And remember, young Midoriya, the road to heroism is paved with small steps—and sometimes heavy trash."

They all laugh together, the morning sun casting long shadows over the tidied beach.

Scene: Sanctum Sanctorum — Training Chamber

Y/n stands in the center of a large, ancient chamber, surrounded by magical runes glowing faintly in the air. The Vaulting Boots of Valtorr hug her feet snugly, their bronze surface gleaming with latent power. The faint orange sparks flicker around her as she shifts her weight.
