In His Eyes

XXXVI

Midoriya Izuku did not imagine the first day of school would start with him not even making it to school. He did not expect the monster attack, the message from who knows what, the villain attack, or being carried underneath All Might's arm like a mail man carries a package in movies.

They landed on a rooftop in the middle of a shopping plaza that didn't open until three. Izuku was roughly dropped and landed on what he hoped was a stick. He sat up and looked at All Might, thinking about how this was a lot like his first encounter with the number one pro hero. Villain attack after being told something he wished he hadn't heard, learning something new, and being slapped in the face by an insect. His headache matched the one from that day too.

All Might looked down to Midoriya, his true intentions hidden behind his eyes. "YOUNG MAN, I HAVE SEEN YOUR HEROIC DEEDS AND AM ASHAMED OF MY PAST WORDS!" It is true, he should've said something more truthful. "I HAVE CHOSEN YOU TO BE MY SUCCESSOR! MY QUIRK, ONE FOR ALL, CAN BE PASSED FROM ONE USER TO ANOTHER!" He wouldn't really give the boy One for All until he had been completely convinced to do things the right way. "SO YOUNG STUDENT, WILL YOU ACCEPT MY POWER?!"

Midoriya's face showed awe, All Might was certain he had won, but the awe quickly turned into a sneer, "I refuse!"

All Might was speechless for a full three seconds, "WHAT?!"

"I- said- 'no'."

"BUT WHY?!"

"Hm, where should I begin? In case you couldn't catch it, that's a rhetorical question, I know exactly where to start. You pushed my dreams down into the gutter, you reported me to the police, you've stalked me, you've kidnapped me, and you tried to have me arrested. Believe me mister, there's a whole lot more I could be saying right now." As he spoke he counted on his fingers while staring All Might in the eye.

All Might had never been spoken to like this before, no one dared to. Even villains were struck with awe every time he showed up! Who did this kid think he was? Truly defective. All Might's eye shadowed over and a grimace sat on his face, "Villain."

Midoriya straightened his head, "What?"

All Might puffed out his chest and raised his fist, "Villain!" He was about to bring his fist down when a cackle sounded from behind him. He looked at the boy, who didn't seem to have heard it. All Might glanced backwards and saw the familiar faux fur coat flying towards them. Red arms destroying buildings in it's hurry. All Might grinned at the boy and jumped away. I'll swoop in after he's been defeated. That way I'll be a hero for rescuing him and the blame of hurting him won't fall on me.

Midoriya watched the pro hero jump away in slight confusion before he caught sight of the blister filled face of Overhaul. He scurried to the door and locked it from the inside before jumping down the stairs three or four at a time. He was two floors down when he heard the door bang against the wall. The building surged to life, it's hallways twisted and broke apart. Midoriya just barely caught himself from falling into the spike of a broken carousal horse.

"MI-DO-RI-YA!"

Midoriya turned and saw Overhaul smiling. The villain slammed his hands onto the ground and flattened out the floor. He raised the broken bits to make a wall, creating an arena.

Midoriya looked for an escape, but he only saw a not yet broken clock that was plastered to the wall. 1: 24.

He felt a hard object hit his gut and fell backwards. Overhaul grabbed another rock, "What are you looking at?! Look back at me! I'm the one who's going to kill you, not that stupid clock!"

Kill?

Midoriya stumbled back onto his feet and stared at Overhaul in panic, this man was going to try to kill him?!

Overhaul didn't like the way Midoriya looked at him, he was a powerhouse, of course he was going to kill him! Why else would he have taken up the worthless sack of flesh's help? He slammed his hands into the ground again, sending a wave of concrete at Midoriya. He raised the wall to cover the small boy and made the broken pieces of metal shower on top of him. He smiled as he watched Midoriya attempt to dodge the sharp bricks and he laughed whenever something cut the boy. He smashed down the attacks when every limb was dripping with blood. "How does it feel?"

Midoriya coughed up blood when he tried to reply. The blood clotted in his throat.

Overhaul watched Midoriya throw his hands toward his own throat and hack away at his chest. His laughter stopped when he felt the air grow colder.

He looked up to see a red faced Izuku staring at him and startled slightly when the green haired boy began to run towards him. It only affected him for a moment, Overhaul smiled and pulled an object out of the ground.

Midoriya felt something cold hit his face.
