MIDORIYA POV
I left Kaminari's hospital room filled with mixed emotions, it was probably rude how I lashed out at him after all he's been through, but I'd been holding it in for so long that I couldn't help it
I saw All Might and Mr. Aizawa talking in the corner of the hallway, they both looked pretty serious, I wonder if they've found anything out recently
I wanted to eavesdrop but decided against it, it's not like I would be any help with whatever the need
When I got to the dorms everyone was already making dinner
"Oi, Midoriya-kun! Help me cut these vegetables" I heard Sato say from the kitchen
"Be right there! Just give me a minute!" I replied while I rush to my room to change clothes real quick, hopefully making dinner with everyone will distract me
It did not
At first, everyone talked about how glad they were that Kaminari is doing well, that conversation led to them talking about the kidnapping AND THAT led to talking about the league of villains and how they've been acting weird recently lastly they talked about the hero society and how not everything is as it seems
I kept quiet the entire time, If I started talking I might have burst into tears, and it didn't help that I was cutting onions either
After dinner I changed into my gym clothes and went outside to train, my kicks have been improving but they're nowhere near the level I need them to be
I came to UA after I inherited One For ALL, I came here to train how to use this borrowed power to the best it could be, I've made progress but it's not enough! I need to do more I need to learn more! I NEED TO CATCH UP!
This power isn't even supposed to be mine, this power is supposed to be used to defeat All For One, the ultimate villain, I was the person entrusted that burden by the world's greatest hero, but there are a lot of other people that would do better then me, there's Mirio who was All Might's first and number one candidate, I think that Ojiro-san would also be a good user since he got into the top school in Japan with only just a tail that he managed to utilize to it's best, then there's Bakugo, he's always been talented, he trains and studies like crazy and is really reliable when you need him to be, he also idolized All might as much as I did, and then there's Kaminari, do I really need to explain that, I've obsessed so much over surpassing him, I'm worried I might end up like Endeavor
That's right, let's not forget that I only got lucky since All Might met me first, I got lucky since my classmates have helped me a lot too, like IIda and Uraraka, without their help I don't know what I'd be, I've got no other option than to train non-stop for them to at least see, for All Might to see, that I was worth helping
because I just got lucky, to have met them
That's right, I just got lucky
I got lucky
I Got Lucky
I just got lucky
I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky. I just got lucky
I JUST GOT LUCKY!
These words played on repeat in my head until I found myself sitting on the ground with tears in my eyes, It looks like my legs gave out... 'This weak ass body'
I just got lucky, I know that but still, All Might chose me, there was a moment when he thought that I was worthy to become a hero and defeat a supervillain that he and many couldn't but now someone brighter has stepped onstage, someone, not even you could take your eyes off
But why are you always glancing at him?
I'm your successor! ME NOT HIM!
I get it, He's smart, powerful, he can adjust to situations quickly, and his presence brightens up everyone's mood
He's much better than me but I'm doing my best
So, please... Recognize me...
I'm begging you
I'm your successor not him
But I guess I'm only your successor because you met me before him
But if you met us at the same time, would you still have chosen me?
All Might
My number one hero
I stood back up, wiped my tears, and got back to kicking, I was in the middle of kicking through the air when I heard someone's voice behind me,
KAMINARI POV
I had finally been dismissed from the hospital and was heading back to the dorms, the sky was already dark and I was supposed to be released tomorrow if I hadn't annoyed everyone so much about letting me go back to the dorms
As I got closer I saw Bakugo and Midoriya sparring at the side, those two don't seem to take breaks but then again neither did I these days, I wanted to join them but I reconsidered it when I remembered what happened at the hospital with Midoriya, plus sadly this Bakugo doesn't seem to like me all that much, It made me a bit sad, we used to be friends by this time around, friends that can make jokes, laugh, and make fun of each other, but now Bakugo only sees me as a rival
I probably would have liked it if Bakugo considered me his rival in the first timeline, it meant that I was strong enough to be a threat and get noticed by him who was one of the best in our class, but now it's just kinda sad, I wanted to be friends with him again.
I opened the door and went inside the dorms, Shoji looked in my direction and said "Kaminari-kun, you already got discharged?"
Everyone else looked at me and I gave them a wide smile "Yup! I annoyed them to let me out!"
Kirishima laughed and said "Yeah, sounds like something you would do"
I sat on a free space on the couch next to Jirou and started chatting with them "I heard the principal Nezu is letting UA host the school festival, have you guys thought of anything?"
Some of them looked down and Sero said "no, not really, everyone wants to do different things and some aren't sure if there should even be a school festival, not to mention the other classes seem to hate us"
"Ah, I see, sorry about that"
Sero panicked and instantly replied "No no! It's not your fault Kami-bro! I mean it's not like you wanted to be kidnapped! no one does"
"No don't worry about it, I'm sorry for having to worry you guys too much," I said and Sero calmed down
"Oh! What about a band? Jirou could teach us a few things" I smiled at Jirou, I really wanted for us to play music again, I'm better at the guitar now than I was then because I started to enjoy playing it ever since Jirou taught me how to play
"Wha-what- but I don't-"
" I think it's really cool how many instruments you can play!"
" If everyone else is fine with it, then sure..." she blushed, she becomes extremely shy when talking about her musical talent for some reason but I still hear her play some songs when I pass her dorm-room
Everyone agreed to the Idea, we would have a band and a dance troop and some fancy special effects just like before! exactly like before, the way things were done exactly like they were originally made me feel things, I was relieved, it felt nice to see that everything was just like before, it almost made me wish that... nothing changed, that I didn't change, and that I would still be friends with Bakugo and Midoriya would be with us and not worrying about his abilities, he was so caught up with that and it was my fault, it's always my fault
I finally decided to stop being such a wuss and just go talk to Midoriya, he and Bakugo were still sparring outside, so I manned up and went to talk to him
"Hey Midoriya, mind if we talk for a bit?"
"Uh- s-sure, what about?"
"I've been thinking about the things you said at the hospital earlier and- " I was cut off when MIdoriya suddenly yelled
"WAIT- Before you say anything I'm sorry for lashing out at you, it was probably really rude-" It was my turn to cut him off
"Midoriya, that's not what I meant, I mean-" He cut me off again
"No, Listen I wanna tell you something" He took a deep breath and I stopped trying to get my words out and listen
"My quirk, It isn't mine, It was passed on to me by someone I looked up to the most, he said that I should learn how to use it and when the time comes, use it to battle a villain that he and many other generations were unable to defeat, at first I was really happy and determined, but... recently I feel like many others including you might be better" He looked down on his hands while his voice got quieter and quieter
"Well not that you told me your secret it's only fair that I tell you mine, I time traveled"

Hello people, I'm not dead, I think I might start writing more since I started using a PC instead of my phone like how I used to before
Anyways...
I need you guys to tell me something!
What do you want?? Like seriously what would you like to see in these chapters?
Do you want to read more about the romance going around, do you want me to explore the quirks, do you want to see a shit ton of angst about All might, Deku, Bakugo, and Denki but also their relationship along the way or do you want me to also include other class 1A members and their quirk journey and relationships? (Bc I wish they had more of that in the anime ngl)
And don't say, 'write whatever you want I'm sure it'll be great' NO! I am flattered by your praise but it does not help with my indecisiveness Ok! I want to write EVERYTHING! I have a million ideas surging through my head! MATTER OF FACT! I have written a small unfinished AU of Juleka Couffaine from Miraculous ladybug becoming a more famous model than Adrian AND a collage AU about Silena Beauregard and Charles beckendorf from Percy Jackson, because in this AU beckendorf makes it out the Princess Andromeda, and Silena survived the war and no one finds out about her little secret, and it WILL have Smut SO NO!
Don't tell me 'you can decide I'll be happy with whatever' NO JUST TELL ME AND I'LL INCLUDE IT! EVEN IF ONLY ONE PERSON REQUESTS IT!!
But no BakuDeku, I have another thing I planned to happen and BakuDeku just won't fit and also Kamijirou is Endgame so yeah
Anything other then that will be fine ^~^
