Chapter Text
I return to the hideout. The main room was empty, all except for Dabi. I walk past him, but stop and without making eye contact I say, “You should go talk to your brothers, sister, mom and screw your dad. I suggest starting with my favourite of them. Shouto.”, leaving him in shock and confusion. “Wait, how did you know that?”, he questions. I shrug and walk off, headed to my room. Before I can reach there, I hear voices, coming from the room where we held hostages. I walk over there, poking my head around the corner, eager to see who it was. My face immediately drops when I see who it is. I forgot they were here. I think, exposing my whole body. Surprisingly though, Allmight must’ve been partially conscious when he got taken through the warp gate as he was in his muscle form and has been the whole time apparently. I accidentally make eye contact with the form teacher. His eyes narrow upon seeing me.
“Whoops, guess you caught me.”, I say, walking into the room calmly. “I thought you were supposed to be with your classmates.”, Shigaraki said. I turned my head to him, “Nah, I wanted to let them figure it out themselves, well, I'm giving them until later tonight. Oh yeah, Denki, Hagakure and Todoroki know now, but I was using my quirk and Todoroki’s quirk when I told him, so who knows if he’ll remember.”, I explain, throwing my knife up into the air and catching it every time, but not always by the handle. “It’s your funeral if something happens. Also, would you stop doing that with your knife, it really annoys me that you sometimes catch the blade instead of the handle. I don’t care about you getting injured, it just annoys me the way you catch it.”, his scrapy voice said. I just shrugged, “Doesn’t matter. So, how are you two doing?”, I say, turning my attention towards the hostages.
“Why would you do such a thing young Midoriya?”, Allmight asks, surprisingly not escaped already. “Yes, I wonder that too sometimes. But then I remember how Bakugo told me I should, and I quote, ‘Take a swan dive off the roof’. Eh, I’ve come to enjoy it over the time I've spent here. Adrenaline, blood, death. It’s so fun!”, I tell him, both of their eyes wide, whilst I stood, my smile corrupt, like my laugh. “Have fun, remember not to kill either of them.”, I say, turning around. “Both?”, he asks. “Yep! I’m counting on you! Our master wants to eliminate Allmight himself. I want to kill Shota Aizawa. And don’t worry, I told the principal that they’re on an undercover mission.”, I reply with an icy glare, walking off to put on my villain outfit.
I hear Shigaraki complaining, I quickly come back, “Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, where’s everyone?”, I curiously ask. “I don’t know. Aren’t they in the main room?”, he asks, pushing past me to check. “Where the hell are they?!”, I hear him say, walking back. I walk into the room, but instead of walking past me, he puts his hand around my neck, keeping a finger lifted. I was just about to speak when I hear the teachers talk. “You lost your members?”, Aizawa says, trying to hold back his laugh whilst Allmight laughed as hard as he could until he had a coughing fit, coughing up blood, smoke rising off of him. “You don’t need to maintain your muscle form.”, I tell him. “Yes, I do. If I stop then I'll be letting my guard down and a hero never lets his-”, he says, stopping to cough before turning into his weaker form. Shigaraki laughs, “That’s what you look like?!”, he says, walking off.
“Midoriya, why Allmight?”, Aizawa asks. “Oh, it’s simple really. He crushed my dreams. A second reason for me taking Bakugo’s advice.”, I answer, death staring Toshinori. “I’m not sure I understand.”, Allmight says. “Well in that case, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Back to the sludge monster. I saw Kacchan, Bakugo getting attacked shortly after you’d saved me from it and signed my book. I smiled as I watched him getting taken over, my villainous side was always there. Then after you saved him, I grabbed your leg as you took the bottles of the guy over to the police station. You stopped on a roof to continue alone. It was there where it happened. I asked if I could become a hero, even if I didn’t have a quirk and you said, no. You told me to give up on my dreams and think about reality. Later that day, I went back to school as the lunch break had finished. Kacchan told me at the end of the day to ‘Take a swan dive off the roof and hope to get a quirk in my next life’. I decided to take his advice considering the events that had happened. I walked off the edge, closed my eyes, but awoke some days after that with a ventilator on my face and tubes in my body. The League had saved me. They are my family.”, I explained, keeping my head down to try to not to show the tears forming in the corners of my eyes.
“I’ve got a question for you now, Toshinori.”, I said, looking him in the eyes. Aizawa was surprised that I knew his name, but I continued, ignoring one of the faces I loved seeing so much. “Who’s your successor? Wait don’t tell me.”, I said, before pointing at him, “Oooh, lemme guess, it’s Bakugo.”, I guessed, thinking back to the attack, “The look on your face tells me I'm correct.”, I say, smirking. Looked like I'd figured it out. Probably trying to tame his temper, but why wouldn’t he attack me from the start? Probably took some encouraging to make him accept it. I think “Looks like it’s time.”, I say, hearing voices from the room next door. “For what?”, Aizawa asks. “For my rematch.”, I say, pulling out my phone. “Hey master, I was wondering if I could have my rematch with Allmight now, where we trained in the cold, snowy area we last trained in?”, I ask, “Okay, I won’t kill him so don’t worry, I know you’re going to do that... anyways thanks, bye!”, I say, releasing Allmight and dragging him through a black, liquid-y looking warp gate.
