Chapter Text
Great, he was Izuku again... another Quirkless life... Wait! He has OFA, he's not Quirkless!, he can actually be Katsuki's friend for real! Also, he has the vestiges... and Katsumi... Why he's here, Izuku doesn't know but... he'll find out. This universe doesn't seem so different from his first... Wait! If he's here... did Tomura exist in this universe? If Tomura did exist, he wouldn't be here as Izuku again...
'Stop overthinking it,' Yoichi said, manifesting next to him, "it's making my head hurt."
'Can you actually get a headache?'
""Yes," Masajiro/Second came out, "I get a head-ache when you two are being loud idiots."
'Hey!' Izuku mentally exclaimed, 'I'm not dumb like him!'
"Izuku," he blinked and looked to see Kenzuo, oh right, he had been reborn with him, thanks to a Quirk he made in his last life that allowed someone to come with him, as long as they were in a relationship.
"Oh, hey, Kecchan," he said rubbing the back of his head, "I was thinking about... stuff."
"Ah." Kenzuo nodded, oh and Kenzuo was Katsuki's twin in this universe.
"Oi, Zuku, Ken!" Thinking of, there he is!
"Hey, Suki-chan!" Izuku called out, he doesn't call him Kacchan... it somehow doesn't feel right.
"Hey," Kenzuo replied.
"Look!" Katsuki showed his hands and let a small explosion show.
Despite having seen how much bigger the explosions could get in the future, Izuku still got stars in his eyes, "that's so cool Suki-chan!"
Kenzuo smiled, as he gave Izuku a look, oh yeah, he had to show Katsuki his Quirk so it doesn't end up the same way as it did the first time around. He felt in himself for a Quirk, should he show OFA or maybe float?
He decided on Black Whip, he slowly pulled it out, and showed Katsuki the Quirk.
"Woah-" Katsuki's eyes widened. "that's so cool Zuku!"
"Thanks! I call it Black Whip!" He grins as he puts it back in its spot within OFA.
Izuku looked at Kenzuo, "your turn Kecchan!"
Kenzuo nodded and took a step back and let an explosion out of his whole body, but when the smoke cleared, he was still there, not a scratch on him.
"Woah-"
"That's almost more awesome then mine!" Katsuki grinned cutting off Izuku
It's been ten years, it's the day... something is meant to happen... but he can't bring himself to remember what... Izuku sighed as he walked home from school and then he remembered what felt like a past life but... wait no! It wasn't right.. wait he was... Izuku... he was Shiro, wait no! This feels like that one alternate universe he read about... Shiro... Impossible Redemption...
He saw a glimpse of his face... the second time he's had it.. curly green hair... green eyes... Izuku Midoriya.. but he was also.. Shiro...
He was surprised when he got pulled in by.. Sludge wait! The Sludge villain! Now he remembered! Fuck! He heard the villain speak but ignored him as thought of what to do, but he panocked and felt himself pull at a Quirk he knew yet didn't know he had... He... took the villains Quirk, oh shit- where's Al-
He didn't even finish that thought when All Might showed up. The Number One Hero looked at him confused
"All Might!" He said acting as he would have back in his second life at this age,
"Young boy, what happened?" All Might question looking concerned. Izuku hesitated for a moment, not really know how to respond to his former enemy mentor father Idol.
"I stole his Quirk, I didn't mean too!" Izuku shouted and it was true, he hadn't meant to. He had only done so by survival instinct." I promise I'll give it back, but I was scared and I took it by accident."
All Might's eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
"Did you say you...stole his Quirk?" All Might questioned and he nodded, half truths were better then lies.
"I found out about this Quirk when I was five, but didn't tell anyone about it." Izuku lied looking down at his feet in an impression of the child he was suppose to be." I thought everyone would consider me a Villain, so I pretended that I had another Quirk instead. A close family friend let me have it."
All Might expression softened and he let out a small sigh, before turning back to the Villain who still hadn't woken up.
"Alright, why don't you give the Villain his Quirk back so I can take him in." All Might suggested and Izuku nodded. He wasn't All For One, not now anyways. That didn't stop the crippling guilt eating away inside him, was his other self still out there?
It would be so easy to just keep the Quirk along with the others he has... but that wouldn't be fair, even if the guy is a villain.
Izuku walked up to the Villain grabbing their wrist before transferring the Quirk back, once he did he backed away again and watched as All Might put Quirk suppressing cuffs on the Villain.
"All Might, sir?" Izuku asked speaking up after nearly three minutes of silence." I...I want to be a Hero, but can I when the only way to have a Quirk would be taking it from someone? I don't....want to take someones Quirk."
It was funny how Izuku was literally saying the exact same thing as Shiro in the original story...
"Why don't you follow me to the station, we can talk afterwards." All Might suggested and Izuku nodded. He was surprised at how calm he was around All Might since.. his feelings are so confusing towards him, Shiro was affecting him a lot.. but the man had been basically a father to him in his second life... And he died and he knew this wasn't the same Toshinori that was his father.
With that All Might slung the Villain onto his shoulder, before picking him up and leaping towards the Police station.
Once All Might landed he walked in to the building, everyone turning towards him as he did so. Awed whispers rang out as All Might talked to a young officer, before releasing the Villain into their hands.
"Another one All Might?" A voice spoke up in amusement." That's the fourth one today."
Turning to face the speaker Izuku instantly recognized Tsukauchi, he remembers him from his second life and.. Shiro's memories, he couldn't help but feel guilt from the ex-villain within OFA...
"Ah, Tsukauchi!" All Might grinned widely." I have something to discuss with you, it involves this young boy right here."All Might gestured to him and Izuku just waved awkwardly, unsure of what to say or do in this situation. It seemed as if he he still is socially awkward even now... or maybe it's just being around All Might and Tsukauchi who don't know him now...
"Um, hi..." Izuku stammered out, not sure of what else to say. Did he say it was nice to meet him, he thought the Detective would note how it was a lie.
"Alright, we'll talk in my office." Tsukauchi stated and gestured for the two to follow, Izuku did so as he looked around the station. It wasn't particularly busy at the moment, but knowing the law it could change any second.
Once they arrived at the office Izuku and the other two walked in, Tsukauchi closing the door behind them.
"Alright, what's this about." Tsukauchi asked seriously. All Might answered by deflating to his normal form, making Izuku blink in surprise. Why was he showing his weakness to a kid he literally just met? I mean... Izuku KNEW Toshinori... but not this one.
"All Might?" Izuku questioned, though seeing the Hero look this weak... made him feel sad, despite having Sen and known him like this in his second life but also... Shiro's guilt came through too.. and memories of vaulting his version of Yoichi... having feelings must be hard for him...
Another flash of guilt surged inside from Shiro Izuku wanted to help him, but he couldn't, not now. Not when he knew what was coming... could he hold two OFAs?
"Call me Toshinori in this form." Toshinori said, Izuku nodded
"I'm guessing this is pretty serious if you're showing your form." Tsukauchi stated with a worried expression. Toshinori nodded in response before sitting down on a chair that was in the room.
"This boy, he has the same Quirk as him." Toshinori revealed and Izuku hid a flinch knowing that the him in that sentence was within him right now. Tsukauchi's eyes widened in surprise, before the Detectives gaze locked onto him.
"I see, so you believe there is a relation?" Tsukauchi asked carefully and Izuku just stayed quiet, not wanting to bring attention to himself more then necessary.
"It's possible, but regardless he's just a kid." Toshinori admitted with a sigh." He wants to be a Hero, but he refusing to take Quirks without permission. This means he's essentially Quirkless, I was wondering if I should...give him you know what."
Okay... he knew this was coming but... it's still somehow surprising.
Tsukauchi gave Toshinori a hard look, as if trying to gauge what the man was thinking. Izuku had known this was coming but... even so, why? Like seriously, not only has he just met him, but he also has the same Quirk as All For One this isn't just a case of a 'villainous Quirk' like Shinso's it could be much more dangerous...
"Are you absolutely sure that's a good idea, Toshi?" Tsukauchi asked with a frown. Toshinori hesitated before nodding
"It's almost like the Quirk itself is calling to the boy, I don't know how to explain it, but whatever it is....surely the Quirk would know best, right?" Toshinori said looking nervous, while Izuku simply stared.
Why was One For All calling to him, if his hypothesis was correct in that a copy of previous users were imprinted into the Quirk...then why would they want him? All For One and One For All could sense each other, so that meant the Quirk knew he had All For One if not that he was half All For One.
"It's your decision, I know how much trust you put in your Quirk." Tsukauchi stated with a sigh." If you think this is the right decision then I won't argue, just know that it can't taken back once given."
Toshinori nodded before turning to look at Izuku.
"I need to tell you something, my boy." Toshinori began." It starts with a tale of two brother...."
