Y/N POV

HE'S A SKINNY OLD MAN?!?!!?!

All I hear is Izu scream from shock.

"What happened you deflated?!", Wait where'd All Might go? Your a fake, an imposter" Izu rambled on. I knew this wasn't a fake somehow. 

"I assure that I am All Mi- hwua" All Might coughs out blood. While Izu rambles on I slowly reach into my bag and take out a tissue. I walk over and hand it to him with a smile. 

"Here" I tell him.

"Thank you Young Lady, what may your name be?" All Might questions.

"Y/N L/N" I respond.

"Well thank you for your kindness" All Might repeated.

'IMPOSSIBLE!" Izu screams.

"You know how guys at the pool are always suckin' in and flexin' and trying to look buff. Im like that." He explains.

"That makes sense" I agree.

"Y/N Your taking this really well?!" Izu looks at me as he says this.

"Well yeah I mean, why would he lie. Plus I saw this same man save us both." I Include.

"This can't be real!" Izu exclaims.

"No I'm dreaming" Izu says to himself.

"All Might's a giant of a man who saves everyone, he defeats all obstacles, and wins the day with a fearless smile." Izu says.

"There's plenty of fear behind that smile", He sighs as he slowly sits down.

"I'm counting on both of you to keep your mouth shut, Don't go talking about this to your friends or on social media." He finishes.

Ok.  Rude he could have said that nicer.

"Huh?" 

Izu gasp while I still held my calm demeanor, but I was a bit surprised but didn't show it. He lifted his shirt and both Izu and I see a terrible wound on the side of his stomach. It looked like a pretty bad blow.

"Pretty Gross, huh?" All Might asks.

"I got this in a fight five years back, I lost my whole stomach, all the surgeries are pretty much worn me out, and it can't be fixed. Right now I can only do Hero work three hours a day. Rest of the time this is what I look like." He explained.

Izu gasps. "No way.... Five years ago? So does that mean it was the fight with Toxic chainsaw?"

"Wow you really know your stuff but no. The punk may have landed a few hits but he couldn't bring me down." He explains

"So how did this happen" I ask genuinely curious.

"Most of the world has never heard of this fight. I did everything I could to keep it under wraps. I'm suppose to be the guy who's always smiling, right? I'm the symbol of peace.  People everywhere have to think I'm never afraid. But Honestly, I smile to hide the fear inside. It's just a brave face I put on when the pressure is high. This job ain't easy." All Might explains

Izu gasps while I continue my calm demeanor.

"Pro heroes everywhere are always having to risk their lives. Some villains can't be beaten without powers. So, can you be a hero? Not without a quirk." He simply stated.
