Chapter Text
Izuku twiddled his thumb against the pad of his computer, scrolling through the explore page on Roblox.
It was the short summer break during his second year of middle school. He’d spent the entirety of it addicted to every hero-based game on Roblox. Completing his hero agency tycoon, maxing out his stats on Heroes Battleground, using his chore money to dress up his avatar as All Might; his summer swayed from his time on Roblox to the browsers he’d kept open on YouTube—to his favorite videoclips of All Might.
Normally, he’d spend his summers with Katsuki.
But ever since middle school began, it seemed like Katsuki no longer tolerated him anymore. So instead, Izuku took it upon himself to have fun on the internet.
“Nothing good..” Izuku mumbled to himself as his hand ruffled through the bag of chips on his desk.
His scrolling halted.
‘Pro Hero RP’ …?
Izuku blinked at it a few times, then pressed his finger against the pad of his computer, clicking on it.
Izuku's thoughts leaked out, mumbling as he read the description to himself, “Have you ever wanted to BE your favorite pro hero? Well, Pro Hero RP is just for you! Select from the catalog of the Pro Heroes available, including All-“
Without a second thought, Izuku rammed his cursor onto the luminescent green play button.
As the game slowly loaded up, the dialogue within the chat became available before the game graphics.
Endeavor (xIIcupcakeIIx) : flashsire fist!!!!!!!!!!!
All Might (lord_dynamight) : no ####### you didn’t even spell it right and I attacked first so I win and endeavor sucks
Endeavor (xIIcupcakeIIx) : sorry I don’t speak tags ;-;
All Might (lord_dynamight) : #### ## #######
All Might (lord_dynamight) : I’m not roleplaying with you anymore
Izuku’s eyes then flicked over to the roles list on the right hand corner of the screen.

Izuku scrolled through the list, and the majority of the server scattered around within different heroes. The hero team occupied the majority of players, but there also remained players who chose to take on the civilian and villain team.
Without hesitation, Izuku assigned himself to the All Might Team. The loading screen fizzled away, and his character appeared.
Izuku’s avatar loaded in as a 2d png of All Might. The png daunted his biceps out as a smile stretched across his face. The latex of his suit sculpted his fantasy-like body out as he stood tall.
He’d spawned in an office building, presumably taking after the real All Might hero agency.
A pop up appeared like a comic book bubble.
‘Double tap on the space bar to double jump, press C to crouch, and use the powers in your inventory to attack’
Izuku toggled the first attack in his inventory. His eyelids jumped to the crease of his socket, his mouth dabbled open, and his body scrunched itself over his laptop.
“It’s All Might’s Delaware smash! This is awesome!” Izuku’s voice pitched as the corners of his mouth rendered themselves into a toothy smile.
Izuku toppled his fingers over the keys of his computer as he began to move his avatar out of the agency, and to find some villains.
His avatar floated above the sidewalk of the virtual city as he explored the map. The graphics weren’t as advanced as the other games he’d played; in fact, they were god-awful . Maybe if he was still eight years old he would’ve found it impressive, but now as a knowledgeable thirteen year old, he knew better.
He’d spotted another All Might in the middle of the street. The distance was too far; he couldn’t read their chat bubble, so he decided to get closer.
He inched closer to the huddle of avatars in the middle of the street.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : ABC to rp a hero mission
All Might (lord_dynamight) : ABC to rp a hero mission
All Might (lord_dynamight) : ABC to rp a hero mission
Midnight (lunauma891) : can I join
All Might (lord_dynamight) : ya we r waiting for a best jeanist and fatgum
All Might (lord_dynamight) : ABC to rp a hero mission
All Might (lord_dynamight) : ABC to rp a hero mission
The speech bubbles hovered over the top of the All Might avatar, racing into nothingness as a new one appeared.
Izuku toggled the chat open as he began to type.
All Might (mightyb0y) : can I join?
All Might (lord_dynamight) : no cuz ur all might so u can only join if u switch to best jeanist or fatgum
Izuku scorned the reply.
All Might (mightyb0y) : can’t there just be two of us?
All Might (lord_dynamight) : no I’m the only all might
A scoff left Izuku’s throat as he scooted himself up on his chair, straightening his posture as his fingers hit the keys harder.
All Might (mightyb0y) : you probably don’t even know what all mights first second and third attack combos are -_-
All Might (lord_dynamight) : YES I DO YOU ##### ### #### ######## ####
Izuku chuckled to himself as a smirk melted onto his face.
All Might (mightyb0y) : then say them in order
All Might (mightyb0y) : if you get it wrong, you let me join. if you get it right I leave, deal?
All Might (lord_dynamight) : deal
The speech bubbles paused for a moment, and the other avatars began swarming around the increasing tension.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : 1. united states of smash 2. texas smash 3. missouri smash
All Might (mightyb0y) : wrong
All Might (mightyb0y) : california mash is 3, missouri smash is 4 xD
Izuku cracked his knuckles as he watched the dots within speech bubbles above lord_dynamights head tick.
Then they stopped.
Ryukyu (dragononexx) : let mighty join i wanna start the rp
…
The chat went silent for the first time since Izuku joined.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : fine
All Might (lord_dynamight) : but I’m still in charge
Izuku tittered to himself as he watched the other All Might walk away—the rest of the group following
Villain (sn00percooper) : ok I’m starting
Villain (sn00percooper) : *puts #### under the building* the heroes will never be able to find the #### i planted
Villain (sn00percooper) : b o m bbbbb*
Lord_dynamight’s running takes a pause as he pans towards the group.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : *phone rings* hello?
All Might (lord_dynamight) : *agency person reports about villain planting a b o mmm B under the bank*
All Might (lord_dynamight) : *talks into phone* don’t worry, I’ll be there soon with my crew *hangs up*
Ryukyu (dragononexx) : what’s the situation all might 1
All Might (lord_dynamight) : b o m # planted under bank so we gotta go find it and beat those ###### to the ground
The All Might avatar standing amongst Izuku spam-hops into the air.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : everyone move out
The group follows lord_dynamight as he leads the group to the bank.
The bank takes after every other building in the game, covered with the same sheet-white plaster; the only difference being the ceramic pillars standing tall at the entrance. The other prominent feature was that it resides in the middle of the city, making it the easiest to spot.
Before anyone has the chance to make a move within the bank's premise, a group of villains reveal themselves from the nearby alleyway.
Villain (sn00percooper) : you heroes…you’ll never find it cuz ur too late
Villain (sn00percooper) : even with 2 all mights, ur gonna lose
Lord_dynamight distances himself from the hero group, stepping up towards the main villain.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : please, ur abt to get an ### ######## you ####### ######
Izuku wipes the potato chip oil off his fingers with his napkin frantically, then he hurries back to his keyboard—maneuvering up to stand shoulder-to-shoulder next to lord_dynamight.
[private chat: lord_dynamight] (mightyb0y) : they’re distracting you
[private chat: lord_dynamight] (mightyb0y) : we’re both all mights, so if I use my smash to make a distraction, you can run into the alleyway while I stay here and waste time with him
Lord_dynamight’s daunting takes a pause.
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : ok
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : thx
Izuku huffs out as a smile tugs on his lips. He then activates his ultimate move, the United States of Smash . This move temporarily fogs up players screens that are within a 30 feet radius of the user; however, it can be disabled with a potion bought in the shop.
Villain (sn00percooper) : AHHH NO
Villain (sn00percooper) : EVERYONE STAY ON GUARD THEY USED QUIRKS
Villain (XiiamjeanistiiX) : SNOOPER IT'S TIME TO RETREAT THEY'RE GONNA GET US AND FIND THE ####
Lord_dynamight slices through the smokescreen, and races into the alleyway, slipping into the corridor of the bank.
They use a combination of their ultimate moves to trudge through the villains near the vault, and temporarily paralyze them.
Villain (XiiamjeanistiiX) : SNOOPER HE'S GETTING INTO THE VAULT GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE THEY CATCH YOU
Villain (sn00percooper) : I'M STILL FROZEN FROM THE ###### SMOKE SCREEN I CANT MOVE
Izuku slams the shift button as he bolts into the bank, following the trail of frozen avatars. He turns the corner, entering the vault.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : let’s do this
Lord_Dynamights avatar tugs back and forth, as if he was luring Izuku in.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : *undoes the bomb* all might 2, you watch my back
All Might (mightyb0y) : copy that
Izuku twiddles with the space bar as he stands at the entrance of the vault, jumping around playfully as he waits for lord_dynamight to finish the operation.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : *undoes it* got it
Lord_dyamight walks past Izuku, then turns back around when he notices Izuku isn’t following.
Izuku kept his attention on the snacks crowding his computer. Once he realized lord_dynamight had finished, he began shaking the crumbs off his hands.
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : u coming mighty?
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : we gotta arrest these #### criminals
Izuku’s head bobbed as his vision panned from his dirty hands back to the chat. He groaned as he rushed to the bathroom sink, quickly rinsing the grease off his hands by using the facet.
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : u afk?
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : mkay I’ll just wait
The soles of his feet slapped against the wooden tiles of the hallway; droplets of water shot from the crevices of his palms as he shook them dry—diving through the frame of his bedroom door
He rammed his backside onto the cushion of his chair, launching his fingers back onto the keyboard as he opened the chat.
All Might (mightyb0y) : sorry
All Might (mightyb0y) : I’m back
Izuku giggled at the All Might standing before him. Lord_dynamight stood like a shield in front of Izuku at the entrance of the vault—his special move held captive in the palm of the png.
All Might (mightyb0y) : oh thx!!!
Lord_Dynamight turned his avatar to face Izuku.
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : yea np
All Might (lord_dynamight) : lmao you villains suck
Izuku follows right behind lord_dynamight as they trail out of the bank, meeting with the other heroes.
All Might (lord_dynamight) : arrest those losers in there, we saved the day
Ryukyu (dragononexx) : yayy we did it! *handcuffs villains*
Midnight (lunauma891) : these villains are nothing compared to us
Villain (XiiamjeanistiiX) : ok but that was kinda rigged I thought we said no using quirks in the rp
All Might (lord_dynamight) : well suck it up because that’s how it is when ur actually a hero
“Izuku! It’s time to go!” A delicate voice announced from the kitchen.
Izuku groaned, his face shriveling up as his gaze flicked from the hallway back to his laptop.
“Now? But the game is getting good!”
“Izuku, now!” Inko gruffed.
“But I’m not even changed!” Izuku slurred as he rose up onto his feet.
“ Izuku! ” Inko demanded
Izuku clicked his tongue. As his cursor glided over the ‘leave game’ option, he returned to the player list and friend requested lord_dynamight.
[private chat: lord_dynamight] (mightyb0y) : I gtg, but can I play w u again?
In an instant, a new chat pinged.
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : yea for sure
Izuku scoffed into a smile.
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : sorry 4 earlier
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : ur actually kinda fun to play with
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : oh ya u gtg, sorry lol
[private chat: mightyb0y] (lord_dynamight) : bye
A titter escaped Izuku’s lips as his cheeks warmed up.
‘New friend: lord_dynamight’
[private chat: lord_dynamight] (mightyb0y) : thx!
[private chat: lord_dynamight] (mightyb0y) : bye :D
“Izuku! Don't you dare make me tell you again!” The voice crept closer to Izuku’s room.
“I'm coming !”
