"N-no... it can't be... why... why the fuck are you here...?" Katsuki stuttered out, stepping backwards and feeling his legs trying to give out under him. "What the fuck is happening?"

"I tried to stop you. If only you had listened to me. Then none of this would've happened," Izuku murmured, reached up to his face and trying to wipe away the blood that dripped down from the slash across his face. "But now I have no choice. I'm sorry for all that's about the happen. But this is the only compromise I have. Else you might just die. You and your men. And I'd rather not have so much blood on my hands. So please, just bare with me for these few moments. And I'm sorry in advance," the two leaders opened their mouths to ask what he meant, but were cut short as the boy they loved rushed forwards at lightning speed, punching them both in the gut. Blood was coughed up and they tried to stand, but were knocked out by a blow to the head each. They collapsed to the ground, and the male took their earpieces and spoke into them. "Cease fighting right now. Head back to your bases. This mission is over. You're leaders are safe. Please turn back as there's no need to do anything else."

He dropped the earpieces and stepped on them, crushing them under his boot before picking the two downed leaders up, hoisting them over his shoulders. He turned around and started to walk off, crossing back over the roofs in which he came over. He noticed Shinsou still standing where he left him. Izuku nodded to him, beckoning him over with a tilt of his head. The purple haired leader nodded, following after him as he headed off back to his base. His squad that was positioned around the now crumbled base spotted their leader as retreated back, walking back to their base. They followed his lead, strapping their gun back up and following from a distance, keeping an eye out for any unwanted people. It took a little while, but they eventually made back it to their base. Going up the elevator, Izuku, Shinsou and the two unconscious leaders reached the top floor of the building. They stepped out and Izuku dropped the two onto a lounge that sat near the corner.

He gestured to Shinsou to sit and get some rest as he entered his office. A few members walked by and entered the office too, but their voices were too soft to hear. Eventually, Shinsou blacked out from exhaustion and fell asleep.

It was a few hours late when the two leaders finally awoke. Bleary from sleep, the two looked around slowly as their brains tried to process their surroundings. Now realising that they weren't at their bases, and remembering what had happened, they jumped to their feet. Heads whipping back and forth rapidly, they searched for Izuku, but found nothing but the doors to the elevator and the office. They also noticed that Shinsou was still fast asleep on the lounge, but they paid him no mind as they walked over to the office. Gulping down a nervous lump in his throat, Katsuki grabbed onto the door handle and pushed down, surprised to see that it wasn't locked. He slowly opened it, watching as light flooded his vision from behind the door. Opening it fully, he and Shouto stepped in, their sight clearing up and allowing them to peer ahead where Izuku sat, looking over at them with a neutral expression.

"So you're finally awake. You don't have to worry about your gangs. Everyone made it back safely. I had my members watch over them to make sure," he leaned back in his chair, huffing out a breath as he did so. "Well, is there anything you want to know? I'm sure you have a lot of questions. But I cannot allow any information passed between us in this space be passed on. It'd be bad for all of us, as I'm sure you'd understand. Other then that, day whatever you want to say. Yell if you need, this room is soundproof." His eyes scanned the two as they stood still in front of his desk, watching with fists clenched and unclenched at their sides.

"We have a fuck ton of questions, yeah, but first and foremost... why the fuck are you the leader of the top gang in Japan! Why are you even part of a fucking gang in the first place?!" Katsuki yelled, though his voice seemed to crack a bit as he did so.

Izuku let out a sigh as he stood up. "It's a long story," he started, walking over to a filing cabinet. He opened a drawer and pulled out the contents inside. Flicking through, he spoke again. "Just years ago, I was in a dark place. There was so much going on, and I felt like I couldn't turn to anyone. I was was seeing around the streets feeling like I could just collapse and fade to nothing without a moments notice. And when I thought I finally would, a hand reached out to me. His name," he passed the file to the two leaders who stood silently, listening to him speak. "Well, he went by many in this mafia filled world. Most commonly though, he was referred to as All Might. The most famous leader there ever was. Taking down crime in the dark of night while polishing up his public persona during the day. He was a man of legends."

"Wait. THE All Might?! Holy shit," the two leaders exclaimed, eyes wide and mouths hanging open. "There's no way!"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I first thought too. But it was him. He brought me here to this base and started to show me the ropes, giving me something to do that'd clear my mind from all the negative things happening. He taught me so much here, and I'm thankful to him for that. And before he was killed, he made me the new leader. It was a shock and surprise to everyone, and while some opposed the idea, I had a lot of support from everyone else. Seeing a as All Might himself chose me, they thought I'd be a good fit. So, I've been in and out over the next few years, giving missions, taking out criminals, even occasionally working with the police. But everything happened thanks to All Might. Through all he taught me, and everything he helped me through during that dark time for me, it helped shape the path that I'm on. And I have never regretted that decision. If I did, it would mean regretting ever taking All Night's hand in the first place."
