Izuku's POV

Black and white speckles filled my eyes as I regained consciousness and I felt someone lightly tapping my face. As my eyes cleared up I looked up to see a face I instantly recognized. My inspiration, my childhood hero, All Might standing over me!

"A-aa-a-ll Mi-i-gh-t-t" I stammered and stumbled to my feet and grabbed my scattered papers, " Are you real?!" "why are you here?!" "Oh, I gotta find something for you sign!!" I sputtered out all at once, to which he laughed "Calm down my boy! I fighting and the villain got away from me! When I finally found him, he had taken you hostage!" "I also signed your shirt."

I spun around to try and see it and nearly fell over which made All might laugh more. "Easy there, you can see it when you get home." "Welp, time for me to go! Thanks for your support!" He said as he grabbed a soda bottle with the villain inside and put it in his pocket. "Wait! I have something to ask you!" I pleaded, but he only muttered a quick "no, don't have time" and prepared to jump away. In the heat of the moment, I shoved my papers into my pocket, prayed they wouldn't fall out, and I grab his leg right before he jumped and latched on for dear life.

All Might POV

' Wow, how could I be so rude! I talked over him and didn't bother to answer his question' Nice going Toshi'. ' Also why is my leg so heavy?!' I looked down to see the child latched on with his face flapping in the wind! "Woah, Woah, Woah! What are you doing?! I mean I love my fans but this is crossing a line kid!". With face flapping in wind I could barely understand what he was saying! All I could piece out was something about an important question. "Okay, just cover your face! I'll make a pit stop." As I finish my command I felt something drip onto my face. I looked down to see a little crimson dot on my chin, 'shoot'.

Izuku's POV

The next thing I knew I was on top of a building, overlooking my city. My body shook from the cool attitude and sudden rush of adrenaline " If you bang on the door, someone will let in eventually" All might said in a rushed tone " Now I've really have to get going. I'll see you around." "Please just wait two seconds, I really need to ask you something!" I pleaded a second time. He gave a sharp no and prepared to jump off again, except this time a cloud of smoke appeared along with a skeleton..? "Wh-h-oo are you?! Where's All Might??! You're a fake! An imposter!" I studdered and screamed. " Please just let me- " he started before vomiting blood mid-sentence, which just made me scream more. "Please let me explain, you know when you're at the pool and guys suck in there gut to look tough? It's like that." As he explained he slowly sat down and lifted his shirt half up revealing a massive scar. " This bad boy is the root of it, got it from a villain fight about 5 years ago, took out have my digestive system ." Completely dumbfounded, I managed to put myself together enough to say something " The fight with toxic chainsaw?". He gave a half-hearted laugh and said: " You really know your stuff but no, this was a fight I kept away from the media." "Now that we're here, what did you want to ask so badly?"

I swallowed my fear and said, " Can some who is quirkless, anxiety-ridden, and in need of an ESA still be a hero..?"

After a few moments of silence he said "No, you can't" "For starters, some villains are very powerful and using a quirk in a fight is essential, second you have to present your self as calm and collected during a fight and you can't break down in the middle from a panic attack, and thirdly if your condition is as bad as you say, you'll have to bring your animal onto a battlefield which puts two lives at risk and most dogs aren't capable of handling that level of stress." "It isn't bad to hope and dream but be realistic about it. Maybe be a police officer, they get a lot of criticism for not being on the front-lines, but it is still a good job." By this point, All Might was in front of the stairwell door and opening it with a key from another pocket. "Now, If you'll excuse me, I need to get this villain down to the station." The door slammed and left the poor boy alone on the rooftop

All Might POV

'WHAT ON EARTH HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU??' ' FIRST YOU IGNORE HIS QUESTION MULTIPLE TIMES THEN YOU CRUSH HIS DREAMS!?' ' ARE YOU JUST HEARTLESS ALL OF THE SUDDEN?!' ' or is just a reminder of yourself...?' I just shook my head as my thoughts went rapid. That's when I felt where the bottle should have been and felt nothing but fabric.

My heart dropped when I realized what had done for the second time that day...

Oo~ Cliffhanger!

Till next time, Plus Ultra!
