The Messenger

Summary:

At the age of four, Midoriya Izuku realized that all men are not equal. Well, then he just had to make himself equal. Taking up the mantle of Hermes, he will do whatever it takes to become a hero, even though some rules are slightly bent. But none of them are broken, so that's a win in his book.

I’m babey

[REDACTED]

Purrfection

Tsk tsk Eraser, you think I didn’t know about babey and his love for All Might?

 

Eraser

Present Mic

Doesn’t this mean that it would work in person tho?

 

Midnight

Yeah, like Hermes is going to give up his identity to meet All Might

 

Purrfection
