For a week after Bakugo and Miharu's rescue, Toshinori slowly healed from using up the last of his power. And once he was healed, he sent a message to his son asking to meet at Dagobah beach.

The place he'd passed on One For All.

He waited, alone, until he heard Izuku's voice calling his name. And how did he greet his son? By clocking him across the face for being so stupid as to find the League of Villains.

"You… you said when we got Micchan and Kacchan back that you would tell me the truth about something," Izuku stated.

"Yeah. The truth about who you are."

"What do you mean?"

"There's no easy way to say this, but… I'm your father, Izuku."

Izuku was frozen in shock.

"Kid, you okay?"

"T-that's impossible! M-my father is… he's overseas!"

"No. I'm right here. Let me tell you a story.

"When I started middle school, I was Quirkless. Just like you I was teased and abused by my classmates because of it and the fact that I was so skinny and frail compared to the rest of them. Only one person didn't make fun of me—your mother, Inko. She treated me with nothing but kindness and I remembered it for a long time. We lost touch after I got One For All and went to UA, but we met up again after graduation by chance.

"We started dating and a year later, I told her the truth about One For All and All For One. I trusted her more than anybody else and she didn't betray that trust. Not too much longer after that we got married in an extremely private ceremony—only two other people were in attendance. Gran Torino and Aizawa."

"But why keep it a secret?"

"I was already starting to make a name for myself as the Symbol of Peace. Nobody even knew Inko and I were in a relationship to begin with. If word had gotten out, there would have been a target on her back. Villains would've gone after her to get to me and neither of us wanted that. So I lived with her in my powered-down form for two years as a married couple and you came along during that time. I was so happy to be a father, but like with my marriage, your parentage had to be kept secret."

"And you left us."

"To protect you. I was also needed elsewhere and your mother understood that. Even so, we kept in touch over the years and every year we'd spend our anniversary together. And that was about it."

"Why are you telling me this now?!"

"Because it wasn't your fault Miharu was taken—it was mine." He slumped to the ground, sitting in a slouched position. "Somehow, Shigaraki found out about her being my daughter and he wanted to use her as bait for me. They took her to get to me, not you."

Izuku was quiet.

"I understand if you hate me for lying. I've been… nonexistent in your life until recently. And I'm sorry. But it was to protect our family and I'd do it again if it meant you were safe."

"If you wanted to keep me safe, why give me One For All?!" Izuku exploded.

"Because I knew you could carry the mantle I was leaving behind. You're my son. And I couldn't be more proud of you."

Izuku was crying. Toshinori didn't even need to look to know that.

"I wanted to tell you because it was time you knew the truth about yourself. And I hope you can forgive me in time."

"On one condition." Izuku's voice cracked.

"What is it?"

"You tell Micchan the truth and be part of her life the way you never were for me!"

Toshinori smiled. His son was truly selfless.


"Y-you're my daddy?"

Miharu's eyes were wide—the same electric blue Toshinori himself had.

"Yeah. I'm your dad, Miharu."

"Wow…" She stumbled a bit. "All-Might's my daddy…"

"It's a bit hard to get used to," Izuku sighed. He'd been withdrawn since Toshinori had told him the truth.

"So… what happens now?" Inko asked, her voice low. "If the League knows… if the League knows that we're your family, they're not going to stop coming after us."

"That's why I asked you to come here today," Toshinori told his wife. "I want to talk to Principal Nezu about your security."

"Come on in," Nezu called, poking his head out of his office.

Toshinori and Inko headed into the room while Izuku picked up Miharu to take her somewhere else—the 1-A dorms, to be precise.

"Mrs. Midoriya, I know you've had it difficult this semester," Principal Nezu began. "Between your son inheriting his father's Quirk, his numerous injuries, and your daughter's abduction… I'm shocked you haven't pulled out of UA yet."

"This was Izuku's dream," she replied. "And I've supported him, but… it's not safe anymore. The League knows we're All-Might's family and they're not going to leave us alone just because we got Miharu back once."

"So what do you suggest?" Aizawa inquired honestly. "We don't have the resources to put security at your home, not the kind you need."

"I'm not asking for that. I'm asking to be moved onto campus."

Midnight blinked and glanced at Present Mic, who looked thoughtful.

"We… have extra room in 1-A's dorms," he pointed out. "We could easily house the Midoriya family there."

"I'm not sure I want a toddler living there," grumbled Aizawa.

"There aren't many options," Nezu mused. "In 1-A's dorms, they're close to Izuku and it's probably the safest option."

"I'll gladly help with it in any way I can," offered Toshinori. "I want my family to be safe; that's why nobody knew they were my family in the first place."

"We'll have to inform 1-A of what's going on," Aizawa warned. "Otherwise, they'll be suspicious of the sudden change."

"I'll tell them myself. It's only fair."

Meanwhile, at the 1-A dorms, Izuku was trying to keep his sister occupied with a new box of crayons he'd bought her for a 'sorry-you-were-kidnapped-I-love-you-baby-sister' gift. She was busily scrawling something on a paper and he was glad the common area seemed to be empty.

"What are you drawing?" he asked.

"I'm drawing one of my heroes!" She smiled brightly. "And it's not you this time."

"It's not?"

"Nope!" She stuck out her tongue as she concentrated and Izuku went to get her some juice. He heard the elevator door open as soon as he opened the fridge.

"Hey, Miharu!" he heard Ochaco say.

"Hi, Chaco!"

Izuku walked back into the living area just as the front door opened to reveal Bakugo.

It appeared everybody was coming back now.

Of course.

"Kacchan!" Miharu scrambled to her feet with her paper. "I drew you something!"

"What?"

"Whenever I have a hero, I draw them lots and lots! Zuku has a bunch and now you have one!"

Izuku finally got a look at Miharu's drawing and yes, it was a picture of Bakugo. The spiky hair, the scowl, the explosions from the hands… it was unmistakable.

"It's to say thank you for saving me!"

"Thanks…"

To be honest, Izuku had expected Bakugo to tear or crumple up the drawing. Instead, he continued on his way upstairs. More than likely he'd be putting the drawing on his wall or something.

And Bakugo? Well, he felt something warm in his chest. Like it or not, this was from somebody who saw him as a hero. Somebody he'd always treated poorly and yet she was still grateful to him for saving her. It felt… good.

Is this how Deku feels?

He was reluctant to admit it aloud, but Miharu… Miharu was somebody he didn't mind having as a fan of his.

Then something occurred to him.

"Hey, Miharu! Can you grab me that book off the top shelf?" he called.

"Bakugo!" snapped Ochaco. "She can't reach it!"

"I can get it!" Miharu gasped, looking up at the book she assumed Bakugo wanted.

"Micchan, be careful!" Izuku begged.

Then the book began to move towards Miharu, though she hadn't moved since she started looking at it. And then it dawned on Izuku what was happening.

"Y-your Quirk!"

"Uh-huh!" The book landed in her little hands and she ran over to Bakugo. "Here you go, Kacchan!"

"Thanks." He smirked at Izuku. "Seems like your sister takes more after your mom."

"W-wait, you knew?!"

"Hey, she managed to levitate me without much of a problem during what happened in Camino Ward."

"Whoa…" murmured Ochaco.

Bakugo headed upstairs and Miharu started a new drawing.

"Uh, Deku? You spilled that glass of juice on your shirt."

Izuku looked down and saw a stain on the front of his shirt. In the excitement over his sister's Quirk, he'd evidently spilled it.

"Damn. Now I gotta change. Can you watch Micchan for me?"

"Of course!"

He ran upstairs and for the first time, Ochaco was alone with Izuku's sister.

"Chaco?" Miharu spoke up.

"Yes, Miharu?"

"Do you like Zuku?"

"Of course I do. He's my best friend."

"No, like he's your knight in shining armor and you're the beautiful princess!"

Ochaco blushed.

"A-a little, but you can't tell him!"

"I won't. Besides, he likes you, too."

"He does?"

"Yeah! He draws you a lot and he says you're really pretty and nice and he wants to be your boyfriend!"

"He said that?!"

"Not the boyfriend part, but I knew he wanted to." She picked up a light brown crayon. "Then you could be my big sister!"

"Aw…"


"Wait, the Midoriyas are moving into the dorm?!"

Kirishima's shocked exclamation was echoed by many of his classmates.

"There's a reason for it, and it has to do with Miharu's abduction," Aizawa informed his class.

"But I have to tell you why," Toshinori added, walking up. "It's because… well… Inko is my wife. And Izuku and Miharu are my children."

Oddly enough, nobody seemed too shocked.

"We all kinda figured Midoriya was related to you somehow," Kaminari laughed. "Just not that you were actually married to his mom!"

"We kept it a secret so what happened to Miharu wouldn't happen. But the League found out and they wanted to use her as bait for me."

"Poor Miharu…" whispered Asui.

"But thanks to Bakugo and the others who were in the rescue, she was safe."

"Don't worry, All-Might!" Iida announced loudly. "We will all do our best to help Miharu adjust to living here! I'm even willing to babysit!"

"We don't need a kid living here…" muttered Mineta. "Especially not somebody related to both Izuku and All-Might…"

Suddenly, the glass of water that had been on the table beside him floated over him and was dumped over his head. He coughed and spluttered and Bakugo started laughing along with Ochaco and Izuku.

"What's so funny? Who did that?!"

"Micchan has a Quirk. Didn't I mention that?" Izuku rubbed the back of his head.

"No! No you didn't!"

"Mineta is a meanie!" Miharu insisted.

"Glad she's moved on from Bakugo," Kirishima commented.

"Yeah. Her torturing Mineta is fine in my book," agreed Asui.

"You're all so cruel!" Mineta whined.

Toshinori couldn't help but smile.

Maybe Miharu would have an easy time living at UA…


And reveal is done.

This story is not over. However, I wrote four chapters in three days and I've decided that I'm going to take a break to work on my personal take on a 'Villain Deku' AU. Now, keep in mind that with My Hero Academia, I've only watched the anime. I am aware of Eri's existence; however, I have not read the manga and so I do not know her story. This may go on hiatus until I can figure out where to go from here.

In the meantime, feel free to keep an eye out for my Villain Deku story!

So long and thanks for all the fish!
