Part 7: When the Going Gets Tough

My conversation with Fury left me in a haze of self doubt and confusion. All my life I have been labeled as a useless nobody but now that I have a quirk I'm supposed go and be a superhero? Sure, it's every child's dream of being the next All Might, he's still me and Izuku's idol after all, but will I be a fraction as good as All Might is? And speaking of Izuku, will he still be my friend after he finds out I have a quirk? Would he be bitter that I'm going to UA? The idea of losing Izuku as my only friend made my stomach turn sour.

I stare blankly at my bedroom ceiling as my phone begins to blare All Might's theme song.

Well, speak of the of the devil and he shall appear.

"Hey Izu-kun, what's up?"

"(Y/n)-chan, you would not believe the day I had!!! I met All Might!!" He exclaimed!

I immediately shot up in bed, wide eyed with shock, "are you fucking serious?! Well, what was he like?! Gimme the deets!"

"Uhh-ummm well he certainly was not what I expected but I he's everything I hoped he would be! I met him today after he rescued me and kaachan from a slime monster aaaaannnd... that's it."

Even though he couldn't see me, I sent my best deadpanned expression in his general direction.
"I'm sorry what?! You got caught up in some slime monster? With Bakagou?"

"Yeah he found me after you gave him a beating and apparently you have a quirk now?! When were you gonna tell me?! That's so cool! I know you wanted to be a nurse but now that you have a quirk, are you gonna apply to UA too?"

"Well....believe it or not, yeah"

It's not like I have much of a choice anyways...

"That's awesome, maybe we'll be in the same class together!"

"If we get in, that is."

"Yeah, I've got a lot of training to do." He replied with a nervous laugh.

"Yeah me too, Izu-kun... me too..."

"Well I gotta get a good nights sleep for my training so I'll talk to you later. We gotta meet up soon so you can show me your quirk okay?"

"Ok... wait wait!"
"What?!"
"Did you get me All Might's autograph?!"
".....no"
"That's ok, I'll take yours, haha. Night!"
"Heh heh night, (y/n)." With that he hung up.

I laid back in bed looking at the napkin Fury gave me. I wonder what kind of training I'm gonna do. Thoughts of rescuing cats from trees and stopping bank robbers filled my mind as I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Morning came sooner than I thought as my alarm rouses me from my slumber. Putting on my best athletic clothes I head to the address written on the napkin. Lucky for me the commute wasn't too far from where I live as my phone took me to an nondescript office building called "Stark Industries Incorporated." Perplexed I enter through the pristine double doors where I lock eyes with the receptionist.

"Hello I-"
"Ishida-san we've been expecting you." She interrupted, "please scan this badge to the elevator over by the right and it will take you where you need to go." She handed me an ID tag with my name and school picture on it with the words 'Stark Industries Intern' printed under my name.

I thanked her and walked to the indicated elevator. I scanned the badge, the keypad responded with a green light and the doors slid open with a ding. As I stepped into the elevator I couldn't help but feel uneasy, the inside didn't even have buttons for floor levels. The doors closed and I felt it descend for what felt like 5 minutes, far deeper than any office building should be.

After what felt like an eternity, the elevator stopped and opened to a large area lined with gray concrete. Inside I see Fury and a tall man with short brown hair, wearing a black and green combat suit.

"(Y/n) so glad you could make it, I'd like you to meet someone." He puts his hands on the mans shoulders, "this is Yon-Rogg, he will be your martial arts and weapons trainer."

I stretch my hand out to shake his but he looks at me with disdain.

"Fury tells me you know aikido but you need more than that to keep up with me kid." Yon-Rogg smirks and saunters over to the sparring mat.

I frowned, "my names not, kid, it's (y/n)," I replied, stepping onto the mat and into an aikido stance.

"No matter, I don't bother learning people's names anymore. All my trainees leave after their first session with me." He got into a defensive stance, and beckoned me with his fingers.

"Show me what you got, kid."

With that, I rushed to him and attempted a jab at his left side. Yon-Rogg blocks my hit with relative ease and with the speed of an experienced warrior, he sucker punches me in the gut, knocking the wind out of me and onto my back.

"Is that really all you can do? I had such high hopes for you," he remarks sarcastically.

I grit my teeth in pain and with a deep breath, I scramble to my feet and assess the situation. Yon-Rogg is standing there shifting his weight between the balls of his feet with his fists up, eyes analyzing me, waiting for my next move.

I take a deep breath to center myself and charge at him once more, I fake a jab to his left side but then switched, grabbing his arm and headbutting him. His lip curls into a snarl and retaliates by sweeping his leg under me, causing me to lose my grip on his arm. With his free arm he then palm thrusts my face, giving me a nasty nosebleed. Feeling the blood drip down my face, anger begins to well up inside me. With my fist beginning to glow a soft orange light, I shoot a blast of energy at him that sends him flying off the sparring mat.

I use my sleeve to wipe the blood off my face and step off the mat. Fury chuckles to himself quietly as he heads toward the elevator.

"Looks like you finally found yourself a pupil there, Yon-Rogg," Fury calls out, "I expect a progress report very soon. Have fun (y/n)." The doors close, leaving me with Yon-Rogg and an uncomfortable silence.

Yon-Rogg approaches the mat once more, stretching out his arms, cracking his neck side to side. He gets into a defensive stance once more, the crack on his lip widens as he grins at me.

"Well don't just stand there, let's take it from the top"
