It was a Typical Day in Dust Studies Class until Miss Know it All Schnee decides to make a new Dust Mix that caused an Explosion, good thing the blast radius was small but Jaune being the nice kid that he is saved Weiss from being blown up.... But i...
Jaune returns once again to the U.A dorm only for Izuku, Melissa and David waiting there for him and besides them was All Might
He looks at them not intimidated at the least but sighs as he needs to get this off his chest and maybe more positive voices in his head would be better than listening to the one All for One left behind
He sat down at the Living room with all of them centered around Jaune as Melissa went to make some drinks
All Might: I heard about what happened with the Yakuza from Nighteye.
( He doesn't let him know that he also got a warning from Nighteye at Jaune's possible death in the future )
Jaune: and you have heard from Naomasa that the L.o.V were looking for the bullets and a little pay back or so I have heard from the surviving police testimonies.
David: those are part of the current problem but what is happening with you? I heard from Midorya-kun that you haven't been acting like yourself.
All Might: please don't shut us out. I did and it ended poorly. Please don't repeat my mistakes.
Jaune knew that was something he always try to avoid and he didn't knowing it will become not only Izuku's problem but Inko and his Family's as well
Jaune: do you remember the time I was held by the villains?
All Might: !
David: yes I heard from All Might that you were taken by his arch nemesis.
Melissa came back and put some drinks on the table and sat next to her dad
Jaune: we had a talk.....a talk that has been replaying in my mind weeks from then.
That had them worried, Jaune was known to keep moving forward as his principal nature as a Futurist, him dwelling on the past is not a good sign
All Might: what did you talk about?
Jaune: the point of it all, the futility of life, why I do the things I do. He was so insistent of me joining him.
That got All Might to pause, like what that man did to Tomura Shigaraki or better yet Tenko Shimura
All for One is hell bent on corrupting this boy too
David: you are not one to cry over spilt milk. Why are you so fixated on this talk of yours?
He stood up and walked towards the glass looking on to the dorm's lawn
Jaune: 'What do people love seeing more than a Hero? To see him Fail, Fall, Die Trying.....Despite all the good you have done for them...eventually they will Hate you. Why bother?'
Those were the words he imparted to me.
No matter how much I refused to accept it in front of him....after the incident I saw how some people have viewed me.
Some even saw the opportunity to further ban Quirkless people from pursuing being a Hero.....I....I could have set them back by decades....
He felt a hand grab his as he looked around and saw Melissa
Melissa: you didn't do anything wrong. You did the right thing, you inspired many others to be better versions of themselves. What you said are just a few jerks who liked to look down on people.
I bet a lot of people stood by you and you're decision am I right?
Jaune: ....yes. A lot of people cheered me on.
Melissa: then why are you moping around?
Jaune: it's because I saw more and more of the darkness that science could do. I....I saw....the research Shie Chisaki did to that poor little girl.....
Izuku: you mean Eri....
Jaune: he tore her apart and repaired her every time he needed.....
He covers his mouth
Jaune: samples.....
David: to do his research into quirk erasing bullets.....
Jaune: I personally saw to the erasure of all the data he had both physical and digital.....and I didn't stop there...
I needed...not I wanted to hurt him like he hurt that girl....but I know it wasn't right.
When I heard the attack on the convoy a part of me was....glad....I just wanted an excuse......but...
Everyone leans forward
Jaune: I didn't do it.....I didn't know if I was weak that I couldn't do it....or I was strong enough to resist the compulsion.
A hand was put on his shoulder as All Might looked at him with his smile and gave him a thumbs up
All Might: it takes a strong man to take the harder road than many who chooses the easiest path with the least resistance.
Jaune: but I still used the nanites I had to erase the information from his mind.
David: you can do that? You have taken nano technology to even greater heights than what I did.
All Might: is he...
Jaune: he's alright without suffering any damage...but I still wanted to hurt him.
Izuku: a Hero will use his skills to help others, without those bullets then no one will come after Eri.
He gave his brother a smile
David: you are not alone in this fight Jaune. Remember you are not Atlas.
His thoughts were taken to that old mythology
An image came to his mind
( replace Optimus with Iron Man )

All Might: not even a single man can hold the world up by himself.
Everyone stopped and turned their heads to All Might slowly
Jaune: you are in no position to say that.
Melissa: yeah Uncle Might.
David: you're one to talk Toshi.
Izuku: I'm sorry All Might but.....
A sweat drop from the back of his head but a chuckle broke the silence as it spreads
Jaune started it and it ended with All Might
Jaune: alright alright I get it. Thank you guys for keeping me from getting lost in thought.
Izuku: no problem.
They all had a good laugh as Jaune's worries are dispelled but one thing still remained
Project Sky Fall was still on going as we see a Suit being built deep inside the Midoriya residence as Tony was working tirelessly on Jaune's final solution as he proposed
The Future is not set and unknown whatever happens from here on, the futurist has prepared for it
