"Someday I'm gonne be a great hero just like All Might!"

Toshinori Yagi smiled a little sadly as he heard a child's voice yell those words through the shop he was in. He was tired after all the villains that thought it would be a good idea to start up some trouble today. It wasn't that he couldn't handle it, they were mostly just petty villains who wanted to make some fast money. But there were quite a lot and adding the fact that there was now a time limit on how long he could be All Might… It made things quite stressful for him.

It has now been more than a year since his fight with All for One and the scars still run deep through his mind and body.

He coughed and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief to get rid of the blood that came up. He looked at the clothing before him and picked up two t-shirts and compared which one would be better.

White is the best colour, black would just make me look even more sickly, Toshinori thought as he picked the white one when a voice called behind him.

"Um, sir, are you sure you want one of those? They seem a little too big for your size, I could help you search for one that fits you," an employee from the store says to him as she looked a little scared at his gaunt looks.

Toshinori smiled a little awkward as he scratched his neck. "Ah, don't worry about it. I know it may seem a little weird but I really need them this size." They were way too big, he knew, but it had fit both of his forms to avoid embarrassing himself.

The employee looked at him a little weirdly, judging the oversized clothes he was wearing at the moment. "Well, if you are certain sir..."

"I really am, though thank you for the help," Toshinori assured her and tried smiling as he went back to his shopping.

He went to pay for his shirt as he saw 4 boys by the entrance of the store, one of them looked very close to bursting into tears.

Oh dear.

He finished paying for his shirt and walked towards the little group as the 3 of them started taunting a little green haired boy.

Izuku was close to tears as Kacchan and his group of followers started yelling at him again. He had just seen a commercial about heroes on the televisions in the store and told the others he wanted to be just like them when he was old enough to be a hero.

"What are you talking about Deku, as if you could ever be a hero," Kacchan sneered at him. "You are such a cry baby and you don't even have a fucking quirk!"

Izuku flinched at his crude words. "B-but Kacchan, I'm sure my quirk will come soon. Then we can be heroes together!" he finished a little excited, confidence returning.

This was the wrong thing to say it seems, as Katsuki's face exploded into anger. Katsuki has always seen himself as the best. After he got his quirk all the adults started saying he was amazing and very lucky to get such an amazing ability. So when Izuku didn't get a quirk, it felt as if he was beneath Katsuki.

"Be a hero together with you, what the hell are you talking about Deku?!" Katsuki rages. "As if I ever want to work together with such a useless person as you. How could you even think to compare yourself to me, I'll be the best hero that ever existed! And I do NOT want to be seen with such a loser as you!

"Yeah Deku, Katsuki is gonne be a great hero, why would you think you could even become a hero?!" one of his followers said.

Izuku shrank at the harsh words and teared up a little, he opened his mouth to answer when a calm voice suddenly spoke behind them.

"Is there a problem here?"

They all swirled around to see who was talking.

Izuku's eyes widened at the size of the man, he was huge and looked scary! He had to say something before something bad could happen.

"U-u-uh, t-there is no p-problem s-sir!" Izuku stammered nervously as he looked towards Katsuki who still looked angry hoping that he didn't do something just as he yelled.

"What the hell do you want?" Katsuki sneered. Izuku mentally groaned, why did Katsuki always feel the need to pick fight, didn't he see how scary the man was!?

"You do know that bullying is bad right," the blonde man admonished a little awkwardly.

"This is none of you business, Deku was just being stupid, right Deku?" Katsuki asked pointedly at Izuku.

"Now now my boy, there is no need to say such things about each other, why don't you guys run along now before this gets out of hand," the man said before Izuku could answer.

Katsuki looked angrily at Izuku but apparently didn't think the fight was worth it as he turned around.

"Tch, whatever old man," Katsuki said as he and the other boys walked away.

Izuku looked with wide eyes as the others walked away and teared up a little again. 'Did they just leave him with this stranger, oh god they did. They came here together and he promised his mother he would go home with the others. Didn't they know it was dangerous to speak with strangers, let alone be together with one? Even though he started speaking with us but that doesn't really matter here but it was still dangerous-'

"-y. My boy!"

Izuki looked startled up. "O-oh, what is it s-sir?"

"Are you alright? You suddenly started mumbling." The man asked concerned.

"I-it's fine sir, I do that all the time." Izuku said awkwardly.

He looked at him a little doubtful but accepted the answer. "Now where are your parents? We wouldn't want you wandering around here alone."

"Ah, they aren't here but I know my way home, don't worry about it!" Izuku tried to assure the man and at the same time turned around to walk away.

But as Izuku set the first step the ground started shaking. What is this, a villain attack? No wait, this was an earthquake! It was also a pretty bad one as the trembling didn't stop after a few seconds. Everything that was loose moved and fell down. It was so bad that even the walls started cracking.

'Run outside, that's what you need to do!' Izuku thought panicky.

Just as he was about to make a run for the door he saw the roof starting to collapse.

"Watch out!" The tall man from before screamed when everything came crashing down.
