AN: So I decided to turn this story every which way I could think of and when I did that, I came up with this.

PS: Thanks to all those that supported me in the last chapter. I really needed the pick-me-up.


4: Justice League
Reborn pt.1

Hero's Welcome


"So," All Might said after Izuku explained the entire truth of his abduction to him, "That's the reason for all of this." He frowned, and let his form deflate, "He was right. I am a hypocrite. To think he'd - "

Izuku shook his head, "There were times that I agreed with All for One, but in the end, I still wanted to be a Hero, no matter what I had to do to get away from him." He sighed, "Have my mom and Eri been taken care of?"

"Both are currently in a nice little house provided by Cementos on U.A.'s campus." All Might said, "And Ms. Ashido is currently being housed in one of the campus dorms while the other teachers are out convincing the parents of the other students to allow them to stay in the dorms as well." He smiled at the boy's concern, "But what about you? I know you still want to become a Hero, but do you really want to go to U.A. after what I put you through?"

"I don't hold a grudge, if that's what you're asking," Izuku sighed, smiling. "Besides, I did take that cheap shot at your old wound."

All Might snorted, "That you did, and you got me good, too." He smiled, "But you still haven't answered my question."

Izuku laid back on his bed, frowning. "All for One's building an army. I don't know how, but I do know that he's planning something big. Very big." He looked at the withered Symbol of Peace, "I think he's planning to kill you before you find a successor. And since I brought Overhaul to him, he'll be fighting at full strength."

"And that is going to be an enormous problem," All Might said, "I probably don't have to tell you that he's the one that crippled me six years ago?"

Izuku shook his head, "No, he wasn't exactly modest about it." He said, "And I'm sorry for my part in his recovery."

"You don't need to worry. In your position, I find it hard to believe that you held out for so long." He frowned in thought, "But the fact that he may be raising an army worries me. And the fact that the Villain that held Eri at gunpoint was somewhat familiar - "

"His name is Jack Napier," Izuku put in, drawing a look of confusion from the man, "At the dawning age of Quirks, he was one of the few Villains that didn't have a Quirk, but managed to kill so many people because of his genius level intellect, and mental instability. He tangled with Batman while in his younger coming out years under the guise of Red Hood, but was thrown into a vat of chemicals."

All Might's eyes had widened with each word, "Young Midoriya, are you saying - "

"That man was the Joker," he nodded, "I don't know how, or why he's alive, since he was reportedly killed by Tim Drake, but the fact is that there's no other person with his looks, or his brand of madness that's come into the world since then."

"I've heard about him," the Symbol of Peace said, "And I'd have a hard time against him. He's one of the worst Villains in history. Even worse than All for One."

Izuku nodded, "I'm going to answer your question now," he said, drawing the man's attention. "I know I'm young, and still unlicensed, but I want to rebuild the Justice League."

All Might's head snapped up, "You realize that you'll be fighting every legal system in the world?"

Izuku looked at him, "Heroes aren't just people that are paid to fight bad guys by the government," he said, "They're normal, everyday people. Fire fighters, policemen, soldiers. Whether they have a Quirk or not, those people are putting their lives on the line to save others. Sure, they're still paid by the government, but they don't do it for the glory of it all, or for the money. People have forgotten that, in and out of costume. Hell, I've seen Pro Heroes glory hunting while causing horrible damage to the city, like Endeavor. I even found out he went in for a Quirk marriage, and put his wife into a psychiatric ward."

"I agree with you wholeheartedly, my boy, but still, think of what this will mean for people." All Might cautioned, "You're asking the world to let a fifteen year old boy take the mantle of those that once protected the planet from inside and outside forces. It's no secret that aliens exist anymore considering the White Martian invasion of two thousand one. But don't forget what those people had to go through, even though they did so much good."

Izuku gave the man a sharp look, "I know what happened to them, All Might," he said, "All for One was there when they all fell. He took their powers for himself. And somehow, in the same day, created your Quirk, One for All. It's how he got his hands on Kryptonian."

"And now you want to paint that same target on your back?" All Might breathed out, "Don't get me wrong, the technology in the Watch Tower alone is considered lost tech since no one's dared to retrieve it, but - "

"It'll be my way of saying that I AM HERE!" Izuku said, doing his best imitation of the man, who sputtered out a laugh, "And telling All for One and the Joker to come and get me if they have the balls for it."

All Might's sputter turned into a full blown laugh, "Son, you are, without a doubt worth of One for All," he said, wiping a stray tear from his eye, "If only I'd seen it sooner. You could...no...you are my replacement." The boy looked at him in shock, "Becoming the world's Symbol of Peace was my goal in life, Young Midoriya, but what you're trying to become is far greater than what I wanted to be. Superman was called the Symbol of Hope, and I believe that is exactly what you're going to be. Greater than I ever was."

Izuku beamed at him, "Does that mean - ?"

"I'm all in, kid." All Might said, reaching out his hand, "The Justice League will rise again!"

Izuku was quick to grasp his hand and seal the bargain between them.

"You know this is insane, don't you, Toshinori?" Said a blond man on the other side of a video call, "The world governments are never going to go for this!"

All Might, or rather Toshinori Yagi, just sighed, "I realize that, David, but think about it!" He frowned, "All for One is raising an army, and I can't fight for much longer. And even if I could, I'm just one man."

"And you think a single kid, a product of All for One, of all people, can make a difference?" David Shield asked, not believing it. "He may have the same powers as Superman, but that doesn't mean - "

"David," Toshinori said, "Please, do this for me...as a last request."

"..."

"..."

"You've pulled that on me twice, you know that, right?" David frowned at the man, and sighed, "Jeez, you always know how to make my life more interesting, don'cha?"

Toshinori smiled at his old friend, "Then I can count on you?"

"If I didn't help, then Melissa would never let me hear the end of it," David chuckled, "So, what's this kid you're so fond of up to?"

Toshinori chuckled, "He's currently recovering at a special dorm on U.A.'s campus and is under our protection until I can get the ball rolling." He smiled, "Principle Nezu's also taken a liking to the boy, and is giving a few written tests meant for third year students, and from there, college applicants. So far, he's proven himself to be extremely intelligent."

"This has something to do with his request, doesn't it?" David asked, smirking. "Nezu'll back you up if the kid passes everything, right?"

"Yup." Toshinori chuckled.

David sighed on his end, "I don't know what I can do for my part, but I'll help as much as I can." He said, nodding to his old friend, "All for One needs to be stopped. Once and for all."


スーパーマン


"Hohohaha, that kid sure surprised me," laughed the Joker, "But then again, you were hoping for that, weren't you, old boy?"

All for One merely chuckled, "I will admit that I was curious to see how he would handle you holding the child hostage as you were," he said, "But even I was shocked to see him use Superman's heat ray, and quite well for that matter. He took quite the risk firing it at the little girl as he did."

"Being a Man of Steel means steel balls, my old friend," Joker laughed, "But you really should've just killed the kid. He knows a few of your plans, doesn't he?"

"Only vaguely, though he has heard of my intents to build up an army," the man said, looking down at his hands as the rippled and warped with Overhaul's abilities. "and that will happen much sooner than I predicted now that I have this incredible power! The boy truly did me a great service in bringing Chisaki to me."

"So tell me something, AFO, old boy, what are you gonna do about that Tomura kid?" Joker asked, sneering, "Still passing on your power to him?"

The man smiled in return, "Perhaps, but then again I am back to my old self again, and you have your own plans, don't you?"

"Oh, don't mind me, I'm just waiting to give the world a wedgie again." He said, grinning widely, "Still, when I finally make my full come back, I'll give these people a world class hotfoot that'll set the whole world on fire! AHEHEHEHAHAHA!"

Three Days Later


"Izuku why don't you take a rest?" Mina asked as she came into his room while he worked on the latest test, "You've been at this for hours."

Izuku spun himself around in his chair, smiling, "I'm almost done," he said, "Besides, this is the absolute last one."

Mina giggled and went over to hug him around his neck, "You said that yesterday, and the day before that, Sweetie." She kissed his cheek, "Are you sure this is all going to be worth it?"

Izuku nodded, blushing slightly at her kiss, "If it helps me in my goals, then yeah, it'll be worth it...and you'll be with me, right?"

Mina smiled, "I'm not even sure what you're planning." She said, looking down at his legs, "But...your legs...how're they doing?"

Izuku, after getting out of the hospital, was confined to wheelchair. The Kryptonite poisoning was still affecting him, making him exceedingly weak for at least a month, according to the doctors, but he was assured that he would recover and walk again.

Izuku wiggled his toes slowly, "Getting better." He told the girl, "I can move them, but I'm still too weak to walk properly. A little more time in the sun should help." He grinned, "Good thing I can fly now, huh?"

Mina frowned, "Joke all you want, but you know that I'm worried to death that we'll never get to dance again."

Izuku smiled. Mina loved to dance. It was one of the first things he'd learned about her the first day they'd met. Especially since that was the first thing they had done. "So," Izuku sighed, changing the subject, "How's class been?"

"Boring, just like any other school," she frowned in disappointment, "The only classes that're actually worth anything are the Heroic Courses. The other stuff is just boring old normal high school stuff." She sighed, "But that Bakugo guy in my class? He says he knows you."

Izuku chuckled nervously, "Yeah...he and I used to be friends...but - "

"Bullied you after he found out you were Quirkless?" Mina asked, jumping right into it as she placed her hands on her hips, "Babe, I get that you like seeing the good in people, but if that jerk is as bad as I think he is, then - "

"He has a superiority complex the size of Saturn," Izuku sighed, "He's always been like that since he got his Quirk. Confident, strong, doted on and praised by everyone because his Quirk was so strong."

"And he started strutting around like a prissy little peacock with his tail fanned out," Mina huffed, "And you, being Quirkless, were a target so that he could pound his chest."

Izuku shook his head, "No, I did that myself," he said, "You're right, he did start bullying others because he had a strong Quirk, but not just Quirkless kids like me. Anyone he thought was weaker than him, so anyone really, even adults."

Mina nodded and crossed her arms, "That explains his attitude toward everyone. All Might put us through a battle trial this week, and he all but ignored his partner through the whole trial, and nearly put the other team in the hospital."

The trial in question had been Bakugo and Tenya Iida against Hanta Sero and Minoru Mineta, the class super pervert. She hadn't been sorry to see their team lose, but she wouldn't wish Bakugo's explosions on anyone. And he had been smiling the entire time.

"He wants to be the Number-1 Hero, just like I did," Izuku said, pinching the bridge of his nose, "But for all the wrong reasons. He wants money, and fame. Me? I just want to be someone that they all look to for help."

Mina suddenly dropped herself into his lap, "You know I'm still POed at All Might for what he said to you," she said, her arms around his neck, "But you seriously want to be just like him, don't you?"

"He wants me to be better than he is," Izuku pointed out, and gestured to the small stack of papers on his desk, "That's why I'm working so hard right now."

"And I understand that, Midori," Mina said, looking a little sad, "But don't forget that you're still recovering and," she hopped out of his lap, and strode over to the bed, pulling back the covers to reveal Eri, who had been napping in his room, sound asleep. "Don't forget you have this little angel to look after."

Izuku smiled, and wheeled his chair over to the bed, "How could I forget?" He said, reaching over to stroke the little girls hair, "The entire time after I rescued her, she never left my side." He smile dropped into a deep frown, "She still has nightmares about what Overhaul did to her."

"I know," the pink-skinned girl sighed, "She crawled into my bed last night, you know?" She started fiddling with her horns, "She cuddled right up to me. I think she was still half asleep, and looking for you, but...it made me feel...kind'a strange," she hugged herself, "I've...I've never felt like that before. And she's so small for a girl her age!"

Izuku reached out and grasped her hand in his, "Still not too late to back out of it, you know?" He said in a worried tone, "I don't want to force this on you, especially since I've got a target on my back right now, and I'm probably only going to make it bigger."

Mina gave him a slightly annoyed look, "I'm not backing out, not a chance in hell," she said, gripping his hand tightly. "I just need to get the hang of this whole motherhood thing. Then I'll be fine."

"Speaking of parenting," Izuku winced, "How...how did yours take all of this?"

Mina giggled, "About as well as they would have if I'd told them that was addicted to Trigger," she said, making the boy pale, "No joke, they even checked to see if my tongue had turned black! But I calmed them down. I told them if they didn't let me stay in the dorms, then I'd not only melt my dad's prized signed baseball collection, but also my mom's favorite set of Prada."

"That's...not very heroic," he chuckled nervously, thinking about the box of All Might memorabilia stuffed in his closet.

Mina sighed dramatically, "I know, but they were all for pulling me out of school when they found out it was you that went toe to toe with not only Hawks, and Endeavor, but also took on All Might."

"I can imagine," his own mother had been frantic after he had gotten out of the hospital, especially with him in a wheelchair for at least a week unless he was super charged with yellow ion energy.

"Anyway, you'd better wake her up," Mina smiled, leaning down to kiss the top of her boyfriend's head, "I promised my classmates they'd get to meet you two, and Yaomomo and Toru are all for cooking a huge meal for you guys tonight. Inko's coming, too, so that Baka-go should be on his best behavior."

Izuku nearly snorted. The idea of Katsuki Bakugo of all people behaving was about as foreign as a Martian back in the beginning of the twentieth century was.


スーパーマン


To say that Katsuki Bakugo was having mixed feelings about what was going on would be like saying that being strong didn't matter to the teen. Before the news broadcast about the battle in the city, the last time he had laid eyes on Izuku Midoriya was the day he had been assaulted by a Villain that had taken over his body, and his Quirk. It was soon after than, near midnight really, that Inko Midoriya had come pounding on his door asking his mother if she had seen any sign of him.

He hadn't had anything to do with it, of course he didn't. He didn't have time to worry about someone without a Quirk that always seemed to be getting in his way of getting stronger. In Bakugo's mind, Deku had probably just gotten lost on the way home after geeking out.

Then the police had come.

They hadn't found him. Not a trace of him.

Given his history with the little nerd, they chose to question him thoroughly. He always gave the same answer. He didn't know where the hell the little nerd had gone.

After Deku's disappearance, things changed for him. He always expected the idiot to pop up out of nowhere, or say something stupid like he was going to be a Hero someday, like always. At first, Bakugo had thought it was due to the fact that he was always hanging off of him like a bur. In the end, it had continued for just over six months until he had gotten used to Deku not being there.

He didn't even see Auntie Inko anymore. Not unless Raccoon Eyes was with her. And that was a mystery to him in his eyes. Why the hell was Raccoon Eyes hanging around the woman anyway?

His answer came there first day in class when she stated that she was looking for someone named Izuku Midoriya in her class introduction. He didn't like her...at all. Why? Because when he demanded why she cared about Deku, (and he had been his usual charming self) she had outright slapped him across the face; hard.

After that, she had refused to talk to him all that much unless she had to. Which didn't bother him all that much, save for the fact that he wanted to blow her to kingdom come for slapping him over a simple question.

"Bakugo."

The ashen blond turned and found Shoto Todoroki staring at him, "The hell you want, Half'n'half?"

"The guy that Mina's bringing to meet us," the dual-colored teen said, "You know him, right?"

"So what?"

"So how is he strong enough to fight my old man?"

Bakugo ground his teeth, "Like I'd know, ya dumbass," he said dismissively, "Want my opinion, he probably got enhanced by one of those Quirk drugs you're always hearing about on the news. Trigger, right?"

"But he didn't have a Quirk until now," Shoto pointed out, "And Trigger only works on those with Quirks, so - "

"Look Fugly, I don't know, and I don't fucking care," the explosive teen sneered, "He might've beaten your old man, but he sure as hell didn't last long against All Might, and he wouldn't last long against me, either."

Shoto narrowed his eyes at the teen, "I doubt that."

Meanwhile, the rest of the students of U.A.'s class 1-A were busy getting all of the food for the welcoming party laid out. Thanks to Class Representative and Vice Rep. the table and counter were weighed down with all sorts of food from the local Pizza Hut. The girls of the class were especially eager to meet the new arrivals since one of them was an adorable little girl, and the other was a teenager strong enough to rival All Might in pure strength. Not to mention that he was the boy that the class romantic, Mina Ashido, had been hung up on for the passed year.

Tooru, a girl with an invisibility Quirk, was gushing over the idea that her pink-skinned friend had finally found her sweetheart. "I so totally can't wait to meet him!" She cooed, "Mina's been so depressed since we started school, and to think it was all for him!"

Kyoka Jiro, a girl with earphone jacks as earlobes, and a punk-rocker look, smirked, "I can't imagine being that hung up on a guy." She said, "Not when I know most of the guys around here act like idiots, pervs, or - "

"THE FUCK YOU SAY, ICY-HOT BASTARD!?"

"Like that," Kyoka frowned at Bakugo's language before whipping one of her earphone jacks at his head.

"THE HELL WAS THAT FOR PUNK-ASS!?"

Kyoka stood her ground as the Explosive teen roared at her, "Look, bomber boy, we've got a little girl coming over for dinner, so if you don't knock off the F-Bombs, or any other languages skills you wanna butcher, then you can go find a burger joint to foul up!"

"I would have to agree with Ms. Jiro, Bakugo," Tenya Iida, the Class Representative, said, "Using such foul language around a five year old child is inexcusable. You should refrain from doing so in front of her if you want to be a positive influence on her."

"SCREW YOU FOUR-EYES!"

"That's a start," said the Vice Rep. Momo Yaoyorozu, "But still, you should try to be a little more civil."

Before Bakugo could go off again, the door slammed open, revealing said pink-skinned girl, "And bring on the funk!" Mina yelled out, and immediately spotted the veritable buffet of food, "Whoa, Yaomomo, you really bought out the whole menu, didn't'cha? You even got salad!"

"Well, of course," the girl smiled happily with her hands clasped together, "From what you've told me, both of these two newcomers could use a little bit of everything."

Mina looked around the room, "Speaking of them, guys and gals, I need you all to do me a big ol' favor," she made a pleading gesture, "See, Midori's still in a wheelchair, so he can't move around too much, so please, don't crowd him. Same for the little girl. She's horribly shy and timid around people she doesn't know." She frowned, looking over at a certain loud blond, "Bakugo, I'm warning you especially."

"Shut it, Raccoon Eyes," the blond growled angrily. "You don't scare me!"

"It's not me you have to worry about," the girl said whilst crossing her arms, "It's Midori. She's like a daughter to him, and me by extension. Sure, I could pour acid down your shorts and melt your balls off, but what's that compared to a broken body?"

"Deku doesn't scare me, either," he growled back. "No matter what he's still - "

"He's still the guy that put down two Pro Heroes, and took on a third one before being put down by a bullet from a fourth party," Mina put in, "And that fight only happened because he was forced into it when they threatened that sweet little angel. Makes you wonder just how far he'd go to protect her, don't it Pop-Rock?"

Bakugo stayed silent after that as the pink girl turned to the door, "Okay, guys, come on in."

The class of 1-A gathered around the table, twenty students in total, as the door came open again. The first to meet their gaze was quite possibly the cutest little girl any of them had ever seen outside of Tv sitcom. She was dressed in a little yellow sweater that honestly looked like it needed filling out considering the child was so skinny, and little pink overalls. Her white, and blue streaked hair was tied loosely behind her head with a little yellow ribbon, and reached all the way down her back. Her little red eyes were trembling with fear as she was met with the group of unknown faces. To many of the girls, it looked as though she was expecting someone to yell, or hurt her at any given moment. It showed even more as the little jewel centered on her forehead gave of a faint glow, signifying that her Quirk was almost about to run wild.

She was held in place by her shoulders and in the lap of the supposed Superman; a boy that looked rather fit for his age, yet shrunken and tired. His frizzy green and black hair was an absolute bird's nest, but his bright green eyes showed a great deal of life, and even greater intelligence as they sat above a set of freckles. He was rather handsome, if you were to ask Tooru, or Ochako Uraraka, but their attention was all but glued to the fact that the boy, no older than themselves, was bound to a wheelchair as Mina had warned them.

It was only then that the teenagers noticed just how roughed up he actually looked.

His bright green eyes were slightly sunken in from lack of sleep, yet they seemed to be on the mend. His face was slightly bruised, and covered by a bandage on his left side where All Might had nailed him. Underneath his shirt they could see more bandages, possibly to cover the bullet wound he had been given, as well as faded green lines running up from beneath those bandages. Kryptonite poisoning.

Behind him, however, was another sickly figure; the boy's mother.

The time away from her son had not been kind to Inko Midoriya. Whilst she had once been plump, healthy woman, she had shrunken down to a thin, slightly bony figure. In the year that she had lost him, Inko had lost around eighty pounds from lack of appetite, weighing in at a slight ninety pounds for a woman of her age. She was rail thin.

Bakugo, who hadn't seen either of the Midoriya's for quite a while, was the most surprised. The last time he had seen the woman he'd once known as his unofficial aunt had been a while back, and she had had at least a little fat on her, but this...

And what the hell was up with his childhood friend/pain in the ass?

Ochako, a girl with a brown bob-cut, came forward smiling in a friendly manner to the two younger people, "Hey there, I'm Ochako Uraraka," she said, speaking softly so that she wouldn't startle the little girl. "It's nice to finally meet the both of you."

Izuku smiled as the girl stretched her hand out to them, "Thank you. It's nice to meet you, too, Ms. Uraraka." He reached out and took hold of her hand.

"Just Ochako is fine," she said as they shook hands.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya," he smiled in return, "This is my mother, Inko," he gestured to the woman behind him, who smiled kindly at the group in general. "And this," all eyes fell on the little girl huddled up in his lap, "Is my little girl, Eri."

Eri gave a shaky little nod of her head and small, "H-Hello" of her own, unsure as she was about these new people.

"Well," Momo said, unable to keep herself quiet anymore, "I hope you're all hungry. I spared no expense on the food tonight!"

Tooru bounced forward, "It's a Hero's Welcome!"


スーパーマン


A small chapter compared to the previous one, but it reveals Izuku's intentions to revive a long lost league to counter All for One's growing ranks. And with the huge ultimate mega boss back to full strength, Tomura is no longer going to be the recipient of All for One. Just a little spoiler for those that were guessing.

Please review. Especially on Eri's new look and Quirks. No one's said anything about her yet except her cuteness ;p
