[Izuku POV]

I followed the mysterious man to a clearing in the forest. I'm just now thinking how shady all of this is. A random man in all black told me what I've always wanted to hear and is leading me into the forest.

"I guess I need to introduce myself," the man said tiredly. He has some major eye bags. "My name is Shota Aizawa. I have another identity, but I need for you to prove yourself to me before I can trust you with that information."

"Fair enough," I replied speeding up to match his pace. "But I won't tell you anything else about my life until I know that I can trust you." Mr. Aizawa hummed in acknowledgement.

"WHAT?!"

I looked at Mr. Aizawa in confusion, but he looked just as confused. What's going on?

Mr. Aizawa and I started to take quieter steps and slightly quickened our pace. Who are these people? Mr. Aizawa doesn't seem to know them.

Mr. Aizawa stopped behind a boulder and looked over it cautiously, and I followed suit. My eyes widened. Izumi, Kacchan, and Dad we're all in the middle of the clearing. Some smoke was slowly fading away from Dad's body for some reason and Izumi and Kacchan we're staring at him in shock.

"YOU'RE ALL MIGHT?!"

My eyes widened even more and my mouth open in complete shock. My own father was the number 1 pro hero and he didn't even bother to help me.

Tears appeared in the edge of my vision, ready to spill out.

"Yes, I'm All Might, and I have an offer for you, Izumi!!" Dad told her excitedly.

"What is it, Dad...?" Izumi asked him, eyes still wide, and tilted her head curiously.

"Dad...?!" I heard Mr. Aizawa mutter in surprise and slight annoyance.

"I would like to give you my quirk!!"

"What...?"

I couldn't believe it!! My own father could have given me a quirk, but he instead told me that I couldn't be a hero!!

I ran out from the cover of the boulder in a blind rage.

"Midoriya!!" Mr. Aizawa hissed as to not get caught. I didn't care.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE ME YOUR QUIRK?!" I yelled at my dad, tears running down my face. Dad looked completely surprised that I was there, but then looked at me with pity.

"I'm sorry, Izuku, but you just don't have what it takes to be a hero," he told me.

"I told you to give up, Deku!!" Kacchan yelled at me, glaring daggers at my skull.

"Izuku?" Izumi questioned.

"I DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?!" I was beyond angry now. "I PUT UP WITH YOU, MOM, AND IZUMI NEGLECTING ME EVER SINCE I WAS DIAGNOSED AS QUIRKLESS ALONG WITH THE 10 LONG YEARS OF BEING BULLIED BY MY WHOLE SCHOOL AND THE TEACHERS TURNED BLIND EYES AND SOME EVEN ENCOURAGED THE BULLYING!!!! AFTER ALL OF THAT, I STILL DIDN'T GIVE UP UNTIL THE ONE PERSON THAT I BELIEVED TO BE ON MY SIDE TOLD ME TO GIVE UP!!!! I WAS READY TO KILL MYSELF AND I WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED TOO IF SOMEONE DIDN'T SAVE ME!!!!"

"Wait... You were going to... to commit suicide...?" 'Dad' asked me in horror. Izumi and Kacchan were shocked. I nodded and walked back to the boulder where Mr. Aizawa was still hiding.

"Who saved you...?" Izumi asked. Her mouth was dry.

"I did."

"Who are you?!" Kacchan growled, explosions popping in his hands as he glared at Mr. Aizawa. I involuntary flinched at the explosions.

"Aizawa?!"

"You know this homeless man, Dad?" Izumi asked, confused.

Mr. Aizawa glared at Izumi, his long black hair started defying gravity and his eyes turned blood red.

"I would watch my tone if I were you, kid!!" Mr. Aizawa growled at her. Izumi looked slightly frightened while Kacchan charged at him.

"KATSUKI!!!! STOP!!!!" 'Dad' demanded, hand reaching towards him.

Kacchan got ready for his famous right hook while Mr. Aizawa... WAS JUST STANDING THERE?!

"MR. AIZAWA!!!!"

"DIE!!!!"

I started to run towards them, but I stopped in surprise. Mr. Aizawa had caught Kacchan's punch, but Kacchan didn't use an explosion like usual.

"Huh...?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO, OLD MAN?!" Kacchan screamed, fire in his eyes. Mr. Aizawa just stared at him.

"You're very reckless and easy to anger. You don't even know my quirk and just ran in without even knowing who I am," Mr. Aizawa said as his eyes turned black and his hair regained gravity. He then looked at 'Dad'. "I could very easily press charges on you, but the public would go crazy and I don't need that on my plate right now. But I will be taking care of Izuku from now on and don't even try to get him back."

Mr. Aizawa dropped Kacchan's fist and started walking away from them.

"COME BACK YOU COWARD!!!!" Kacchan screamed and I quickly followed Mr. Aizawa.

We walked in silence for a while. I was nervous.

"Why did you lie to me about your last name?"

I looked at Mr. Aizawa in surprise. That's the first question?

"W-well, um... I guess I didn't trust you at the time, so I came up with an easy last name to remember... Since my hair and eyes are green..." Mr. Aizawa hummed.

"That's a smart move, kid, you can trust me. I'm a pro hero after all."

My eyes widened.

"YOU'RE A PRO HERO?!"

I was so shocked. I know pretty much every pro there is, even some vigilantes!! But I don't know who he is at all!!

"I'm an underground hero, so I don't get a lot of fame, which I'm happy with, but it does get annoying when the police continually try to arrest me," Mr. Aizawa explained. "My hero name is Eraserhead."

"This is amazing!! This is the first underground hero I've ever met!! I must write all I can in my notebook!! But I left it on the roof!! Along with my shoes and backpack!! If nobody goes on the roof, then I'll be able to get them unless the wind blew all of my stuff away. But there should be enough weight that my stuff wouldn't fly off and that means the only problem would be how I would get up there again and back down safely. Maybe-"

"What are you doing, kid?" Mr. Aizawa questioned me with a look.

"Oh- um... It's a habit..." I muttered, fidgeting with my fingers and my face heating up in embarrassment. Mr. Aizawa hummed. "Where are we going again?"

Mr. Aizawa grinned. I felt a shiver go up my spine.

"You'll see..."

Let us all pray for Izuku to survive Dadzawa's training. I won't go over everything (obviously) and I'll just highlight the major stuff. PLUS ULTRA!!!!
