The Wolf prowling across dimensions by Pandora's Reader

 Highschool of the Dead & My Hero Academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア Xover Rated: M, English, Family & Adventure, [OC, Rika M., Shizuka M., Saeko B.], Words: 820k+, Favs: 1k+, Follows: 1k+, Published: Nov 17, 2021 Updated: Nov 9 779Chapter 75: My name is Izuku Midoriya

P-reon is a thing. Pandoras_Supporter and all that.

Thanks to my first supporter - Scifighter.

Also, My Hero will be the most AU world so far, because there are a bunch of things that SHOULD be there, but aren't. Also, I've found out I'm not good with meek characters, so Izuku is going to be different. I'll try to preserve his character, but just know that.

Nobody - Thanks for that. I'll be relaxing for a bit, and take my time to build up the rest of the saga.

Seig - Thanks for calling that out. I don't want the girls to end up like that, so while we're here, and despite it being Saya's world, I'll try to give them their own moments so that doesn't happen. I already have next chapter sorted with it being solely from Saya's POV, so hopefully that helps. And I'll plan on a chapter like soon.

Dakota - You evil evil man. And in some DxD fics I've read, they explain it as Rias/Sona keep punishment away because of his Sacred Gear. It makes sense. We'll see. One of those are going to come up soon.

Tryson - I've got a plan for Toga, don't worry.

Horseman - *Whistles in future chapter*

Aion - You've got a point.

{Five days later Izuku's POV}

Waking up, I had to take a moment to think... Yesterday... Yesterday was just too good to be true.

Sure, it started out normal... As normal as my days usually start. Mom made breakfast, wished for me to have a good day, and I left. Going to school, I tuned out everyone's words, and tried to go through the day. It was a normal so far, a part of me recognized just how bad my definition of normal was that I could consider almost six hours of constant belittling and physical 'punishment' was normal.

But it was.

Though... What happened after, wasn't. I knew Kacchan didn't accept me, and probably never would. It was my fault, of course it was my fault. But... To tell me to kill myself wasn't... That wasn't something a hero should say... (But Kacchan's going to be a hero... He's going to be a great hero...) I knew that, he knew that, everyone knew that... So that had to stay a secret. Someone couldn't be a hero if they told someone to kill themselves. That sounded like something a Villain would say, and Kacchan wasn't a Villain. I felt the scars Kacchan's given me over the years ache at that, like what I thought was wrong, but I ignored them.

After... That... I started heading home. Despite Kacchan's earlier words, the day was still going normally... Until it wasn't. The feeling of drowning, the taste of sludge, the thought that I'd never be a hero... (That I'd die a Deku...) I didn't WANT to think about that thought, but I HAD too.

So, going back to my memory of yesterday, I had to take another moment to just pause... Because All Might had saved me... ALL MIGHT! Japan's #1 Pro Hero, that took up the mantle after Lady Slipstream(I don't remember if Nana's hero name ever came up, so this is what I'm going to call her if I don't just call her Nana.) passed away. There were some rumors and theories about the two of them having a mentor student relationship, maybe even a romantic one, but they were never proven. (But it would make sense if it were. Their quirks share some similarities to each other, excluding Lady Slipstream's ability to fly, and could serve as a basis for those rumors. All Might's starting years aren't THAT well documented, so even though he was trained at and graduated from U.A, there were never any sightings of the two of them together... But... What he said about his quirk...) That made me think about it, and was something I hoped I could ask without it coming off too invasive.

I wanted to go deeper into that theory, to try to make any connections I could, but I couldn't. It was 8A.M, and I had to meet All Might in an hour and a half. So, not wanting to disappoint, I got up, and started my day.

Though, while I did, I went back to thinking about yesterday. After the Sludge Villain was put away, All Might was about to jump away... And in a stroke of genius, I latched onto him, and after praying to every god I knew the name of, landed safely on a roof.

That got me the chance to ask All Might THE question... Thinking about his answer, I couldn't help but smile. I remembered the way All Might smiled, a soft one, and how his eyes shone.

"A hero is more then their quirk young man. I've seen many a hero believe their quirk is all they need to become a great hero. I've seen people believe that without a quirk, one cannot become a hero..." He stopped there, and looked at me. REALLY looked at me. For some reason, I felt like he understood... But I didn't know WHY I felt that way. "Those people are wrong. There's more to being a hero then that... A good example... Hmm... Aha! You're a fan... A big one, yes?" I nodded at that, a little embarrassed at being called out about it. All Might smiled, and I saw him get a look in his eyes. A look that meant he was remembering something. "Back in the day, when I worked with David Shield, he proved your quirk, or in this case, lack of quirk, doesn't define if you can be a hero or not... You know of his quirk, yes?" I nodded, because of course I did.

"David Shield, Quirk: Squirmy Fingers. He's used it to make some of the worlds most effective support gear! He even uses it to make your bronze age costume when you two worked together!" His quirk reminded me of one of Kacchan's 'minions,' but that was where the comparison stopped. Kacchan's friend had no interest in support gear, never gave the support club a second glance, and didn't choose the elective that taught about support gear. Both of those things were something I did, even if some of my gear ended up damaged because of Kacchan.

All Might gave me a smile, then nodded. "David helped create support gear for me, and even if it didn't exactly work out... Mostly because I went a little too hard, showed that a hero is more then their quirk. He used his natural intelligence, hard work, and sheer determination to make himself the man he is today... Heh... From the little peak I've had of your 'Hero Analysis for the future' you have quite the eye for quirks, don't you young man?" I almost had a heart attack!

"(Oh god, All Might saw my notes! Oh god, I hope he didn't see the bit about Mt. Lady. Why did I write that sexy part? What part of you that was a good idea Izuku? Sure, we noticed the costume was purposely designed to be that skin tight, but we didn't need to write it! Oh god, what if All Might thinks we're a pervert, even though we're not! Oh no oh no oh no!)" There was a chuckle, and it took me a second to realize it was from All Might.

I looked at him, and saw the smile on his face. "It's fine young man. Don't worry about it." That helped a bit, but it was still embarrassing! All Might shook his head, then smiled again. But it was fuller, brighter, then the others. "I need to get this villain locked away, so I'll get back to my point. A hero is more then their quirk young man. It is their actions, their efforts, their HEART, that defines a hero. So to answer your question. You CAN be a hero, it is all up to you! But uhhh, make sure you be careful. You will be at a disadvantage. You will have people tell you your lack of a quirk will only make you a liability." His eyes shone, and for a moment, I thought I saw a fire in them. "But do not give up. Prove it, not only to them, but to yourself young man! Prove, that you too, can become a hero!" It was like a fire lit itself inside my chest, and I couldn't stop the tears from flowing.*

Remembering that now, I couldn't keep myself from smiling.

Someone believed in me.

Someone believed that even without a quirk, I could be a hero.

ALL MIGHT believed I could do it. And by bringing up David Shield, I knew he was being truthful. I looked up to David Shield almost as much as I did All Might. The man's quirk wasn't an offensive type like All Might's. It wasn't the speculated pre-cognition Sir Nighteye had. It was just something that affected his fingers.

Like All Might said, David Shield built himself up. He used his intelligence to create some of the best support gear ever made, I wasn't being biased because he made some for All Might... (I might be a little biased...) But it was All Might!

Anyway, after that, All Might left, and I managed to find my way off the roof, I started heading home.

But then there was a villain attack, and it turned out to be the Sludge Villain! I panicked for a moment, realizing that it was MY fault that he somehow escaped from All Might, and froze... But then I saw Kacchan was being held by him... And suddenly I was running towards it. I didn't know why. But halfway in, I threw my bag at his eye, and it hit. After getting Kacchan the chance to breath, All Might saved us, and that led to the TRULY big thing that happened yesterday.

When I was trying to go home, and after Kacchan... Thanked(?) Me, All Might showed up again... And offered for me to be his successor... That... That was BIG. And after my COMPLETELY JUSTIFIABLE FREAK OUT, I accepted.

And now I was going to meet him later today... Yeah... My life wasn't going to be anything near normal anymore.

After I was done with brushing my teeth and everything else, I went back into the living room, and sighed. "She's going to be out all day again isn't she?" Mom... Mom was trying her best. I knew she was, but supporting ourselves was tough. Mom was working three jobs, I did my best to help and managed to work at the closest super market, but making ends meet was hard. "(Especially with us trying to keep up with my costs for support equipment material.)" Despite making support equipment, that actually works, I couldn't legally sell them, or really use them. "(Because Kacchan keeps destroying whatever I make.)" That... Was true... But Kacchan was just being Kacchan. It was probably my fault they broke anyway.

Shaking that thought off, I brought out the remote, and turned on the TV.

Flicking through the channels, I paused on a report about 'The second coming of Lady Nagant.' Apparently, 'she' struck again, and killed a Villain in Australia of all places. Villain name: Wilder. Quirk: By using hair/scales from animals, the user could turn into said animals. The downside was that he got those animals instincts... And considering it was Australia... (Yeah...) I didn't exactly know how to feel about the... Vigilante(?) Because hero's sometimes had body counts. (Endeavor's is in the 100's, and he's somehow still a hero. I don't understand how, even if I might have some ideas.) That aside, the Vigilante only shot Villains with a body count of their own, or had crimes that made my stomach flip if I looked at them. So... Yeah, no idea how to take that.

Flicking through the channels again, I saw a clip about the Rated R Hero: Midnight, potentially having a boyfriend. I saw that before, on a forum that brought up hero news, and gossip. Midnight was also seen entering and leaving a mansion by U.A, sometimes with some women she was never spotted with before, or with the boyfriend(?) "The paparazzi don't understand privacy or personal space, do they?" It was rhetorical, but I just felt like saying it.

I flicked through the channels a bit more, then decided to stay on my usual 'General Hero News' channel. There, I brought out a few notebooks, and wrote down whatever I noticed. This was one of my strong suits, and I'd make sure to do the best I could. "All Might believed it was a good thing, and I'm going to make sure I turn it into something great." That said, I set a timer for an hour, so I had enough time to stop, and go meet All Might. I was NOT going to miss or be late to that.

{An hour and a half later}

(How was I almost LATE?!) I blamed it on me forgetting to charge my phone, and the battery somehow dying before the alarm went off. I only noticed it was close to the meeting time because the usual documentary about this weeks top hero started at 10 A.M, and I knew that.

Anyway, running! I was going to be late if I didn't run as fast as I was, avoiding bumping into anyone or thing. I might've failed a few times, but I could handle a few people being annoyed at me. What I COULDN'T handle was All Might being disappointed in me. So, running until my legs hated me would have to do.

I ran for a while, but eventually, I made it to our meeting place. When I did, I had to just stop, and breath. My lungs were on fire, and my legs and feet weren't any better. "Hoo... Ok Izuku... We're sooo out of shape. That's bad. REALLY bad... Ugh." I took a hand off my knees, and reached into my bag. I had no idea what we were doing, but All Might said to bring water, and some energy bars. "Looks like the water's going first." I heard a chuckle nearby, and looked up. That's how I saw All Might, in his skinny form, smiling at me. I was SO glad I wasn't drinking water, because I would've done a spit take at All Might.

"Ah, Young Midoriya. Here right on time I see." Well of course I was! The man was my idol.

I stood straight, I tried my best too, and nodded over and over again at All Might. "Of course, Sir! But... Uhhh, what're we doing here?"

All might chuckled again, which led into a small coughing fit, which then led me to have a small heart attack because he was coughing up blood, but All Might waved it away after he was done. "Anyway. We'll be working on your training regimen. The entrance exam for U.A is in ten months. And going by what I know of you so far, which isn't a lot, but enough, I'm assuming you're trying for them, yes?" I bit my lip a little, but nodded. That was an issue of itself, my Quirkless status making it hard to be taken seriously, but even then, I was still going to try. No matter what Kacchan or anyone else said, I was going to be a hero.

All Might smiled, then nodded. "Then, the first step to that plan!" All Might walked over to the nearest truck, which I noted was his after he opened it, and brought out... Papers? "Huzzah!" Them in hand, he came over to me, and handed them to me. I read the title, and blinked. "This Young Midoriya is the 'American Dream Plan! By following this as a guideline, we'll build up your scrawny body," He suddenly buffed up, and became the symbol of peace. "INTO ONE THAT WILL SERVE AS A PROPER VESSEL FOR ONE FOR ALL!" He started flexing, and for some reason, I felt really embarrassed by it. It didn't help that my mind came up with the metaphor he used to explain his buff form.

I shook my head, and started flipping through the plan. It was... Very detailed, and somehow, had all the relevant information about me. Even my weight was exact... "(That would be kind of creepy... No, it IS kind of creepy. Let's just not say anything about that and move on.)"

There were a few snorts from that, and I blinked when I realized I said that out loud. "Damn... Sorry, bad habit." All Might just smiled, and waved it off as he shrank back to his small form.

"It's fine Young Midoriya, we all have bad habits. Yours isn't something detrimental, so despite it being a little odd, it's fine." I let out a sigh of relief, and nodded at him. It was reassuring that he didn't tell me to stop or shut up. "Now, let us get to work! You won't gain any muscle mass just by standing around!" And with that, we walked onto the beach, and into the scrapheap.

As we did, I couldn't help but look at all the trash, the vast majority of it being metal that could be scrapped, and maybe some electronics that could be salvaged. "(Hmm... Maybe I can salvage something from that microwave? No, looks to beat up, possibly too deteriorated to give me anything of worth... What about that fridge? Looks to be in relatively good condition, the reason it's here seems to be the fact the main portion was broken, could possibly have good ma...-)"

"Ahem. Young Midoriya, could you focus for me please?" Blinking, I looked over to All Might, and realized that I must've been saying that all outloud, again.

I blushed, and looked at the ground. "Sorry Sir." I just heard him chuckle again, and say it was fine. Hearing that, I looked back up, blinked, and blushed when I saw a small girl behind All Might. She had silver hair*, brown eyes, and didn't look Japanese. She was wearing a white blouse, that showed she had de... Ahem, she had shorts that were way too short, and sandals... Oh, she also had dog(?) Ears, whose tips were either blonde or purple*, and a silver tail. We made eye contact, and after giving me a grin, disappeared when I blinked. I blinked a few more times after that, then turned to All Might, who just looked a little confused. "Um... Sir? Is there supposed to be a little girl with us?" All Might gave me a look, and seeing the genuine confusion on his face, I knew he had no idea what I was talking about.

"Young Midoriya, could you... Describe the child?" So I did. After doing that, All Might hummed, and I could tell he knew... Something. "It's on the tip of my tongue... But I don't know. Disappearing children aside, let us get into your training Young Midoriya!" A part of me wanted to point out that maybe that was a bad idea, but it was All Might, so I decided to nod, and dropped it.

From there, we started my 'training' which was mostly me straining my body by pushing or pulling around junk over to All Might's truck. It was taxing, and even though my body burned, I kept going.

We were maybe ten minutes in when I had an idea, and asked All Might. "Sir... Can I keep some of this stuff?" He gave me a raised brow, and I got that he wanted to know why. "Um, I make support gear, and I could REALLY use the spare parts and other materials for stuff. It'll help me reduce my spending in buying the materials, and go to a good cause... So... Can I?" He smiled, an amused one, and nodded.

With that done, I went back to my training, and did my best... Though, at odd times, I would see a piece of garbage move for some reason, maybe disappear at times, or just float up a bit, before falling back down. When I told All Might, he shivered, and started looking around, scared. "G-G-Ghosts?! T-That's not a good joke Young Midoriya!" I blinked, and made a note that All Might was scared of ghosts... Who knew?

It didn't help that a bit after he said that the wind started acting up, and we heard 'ouuus' and 'whaaas' for some reason.

It was only after another five minutes of that, when All Might had enough. "That's it! S-Show yourself specter! Y-Y-Your foul tactics will n-not work on us anymore!" There was a cackle after that, coming from seemingly everywhere, which made All Might start shaking.

Then, out of nowhere, the little girl I saw before, materialized behind All Might, and went "Boo!'" Seeing All Might, the symbol of piece, JUMP, and SHRIEK at a girl shorter then the both of us... Was SOMETHING, and I didn't exactly know how to feel about it.

So I just settled for a small laugh, which turned into worry after he started to cough out blood. Seeing that, I ran over to him, and started fussing about All Might. He coughed a bit more, but after a few seconds, he was fine.

After he was, we both turned to the not ghost girl, and took her in. Even with All Might here, I felt a little caught off guard, mostly because she was a girl. I'd only talked to my mom, auntie Bakugo, and the odd girl who made 'babies' in the support gear group chat. Though, the first one didn't count, I hadn't talked with auntie Bakugo in years after mom... Found my scars, and outside of a group call session where we talked, or tried to talk while Hatsumei was doing her thing and just saying whatever entered her mind while she built her 'babies,' she didn't exactly count either. I'd never met her, so that was another reason why she didn't really count.

Anyway, the not ghost girl. She was just watching us with amused confusion, a weird combo, but I was pretty sure I was right. Reading people was important for my survival. All Might looked ready to address her, but she spoke up first. "Lili isn't exactly sure if she should say sorry or not... It was funny... But kinda gross at the same time."

We both paused, and turned to each other. "I'm... Sorry Sir... But she's kind of right..." All Might looked so betrayed, that I wished I could take a picture of it.

Shaking his head, All Might cleared his throat, and looked at... Lili? "While I don't exactly like the way you made the joke, I will admit, it could be funny from an outside perspective." 'Lili' nodded, and smiled at that. "But, little girl, where are your parents? It's dangerous to go alone." At that, 'Lili' snorted, and I thought I heard one come from above us.

Then, just like I thought, someone started talking from above us. "It's dangerous to go alone, here, take this!" She laughed at that, and looked up. All Might and I followed her gaze, and saw someone else. There was a man laying on his back, above a pile of trash, looking at us with amusement clear on his face. "Anyway, it was funny smols, 8/10 overall." For some reason, I felt like I recognized his face, but I wasn't sure why.

'Lili' pouted at that, and huffed. "We don't see YOU doing better, Papa." Papa? Her father?

Her father(?) Smirked at that, got up, and flipped down towards us. He landed by 'Lili's' side, and hummed as he pat her head. "If I wanted to scare the shit out of someone, I could just toss a few arms at them, maybe a head. That'd do the trick." What? Was he talking about a quirk of some kind? That weird thought aside, I got a good look at her 'father' and felt the feeling of knowing him again.

He was a tall man, silver hair up in a pony tail, dog ears and tail just like 'Lili,' and same types of sandals too. He had hetero-chromatic eyes, a slit silver one, and a slit black one. They seemed lizard, if not draconic like, which was weird given his lupine traits. There was a scar by his lip, his gray fur sweater didn't look like it was anything fancy, though it looked like there was a scar on his chest, but I couldn't see it all since his sweater wasn't fully unzipped, and he had regular pants. I noticed the earring he had, and admitted that it looked cool.

His traits aside, 'Lili' seemed to get the weird speak, since she blinked, and went, 'huh.' As if that was a viable option. "(Who... Who are they?)" I must've said that out loud, since they both turned to me, and hummed.

'Lili' looked up at her father(?) And he tapped her scalp. "You're the one that fucked with em, you go first." That made sense... But...

"Ahem. Sir." 'Lili's' father(?) Looked at All Might, and raised a brow. My mentor just looked back, and waved a hand at 'Lili.' "I don't believe you should be cursing around such a young girl. Children shouldn't be exposed to that kind of language." The father(?) Daughter(?) duo shared a look, and the man looked like he was going to start laughing.

'Lili' on the other hand, looked annoyed. "Don't say it Papa. Not. A. Word." The man did the 'lips are sealed' motion, and she huffed. 'Lili' turned to us, and aimed her annoyed look at All Might. "For your information, Lili is fifteen."

That made me and All Might both gape at her, because what? "B-But, that'd mean you're almost MY age!" It would!

'Lili' huffed, and looked at me. "And? Is that a problem you mob?" Mob? Did she just..? Her father(?) snorted, and started laughing for some reason, and she gave him another look. "He is! Look at him, can't even push a refrigerator! Even WE could do that back in Orario, and before Papa, our Mama's, and the rest of our sisters came! He's a mob!" He started laughing even more at that, and I couldn't figure out if I should be put down at the mob comment, or astounded that a girl as small as she was could do that... Granted if she wasn't lying, but I doubted she was.

When he was done laughing, her father(?) Pat her head, making his daughter(?) Happy. "Oh, that was great smols. It really was. Anyway, let's stop being rude, and say hi." Oh yeah... They hadn't done that yet. "So, introduce yourself smols."

She rolled her eyes, and looked at us. "Lili is Lili Zaka. Hello." Huh.

(So, she speaks in third person... That's... Interesting?) I'd never met someone that did that, but I wasn't going to hold it against her.

After her, her father grinned, then spoke. "Name's Maccillian Silver Zaka. Sup All Might." And like that, All Might and I froze. He, and by proxy, she, knew.

By my side, I could feel All Might tense, and like it was a physical phenomena, the tension in the air grew. "Who ARE you? And how do you know." I could tell he was prepared to enter his buff form, and that worried me a little.

But it was like they didn't even care. Zaka-san, the father, just waved it off. "I'm friends with the rat... I think we're friends... We might be friends? Huh... Well, I'm pretty sure me and the rat are friends. Anyway, yeah. That." The rat?

"(Does he mean the principle of U.A?)"

"Yup. The rat. Also, kinda weird that you do that, but eh. Anyway, you can ask Nezu if you want, or any of the U.A staff. My girls and I've been kicking it with Nemuri for a good few days." And like that, I realized why he seemed familiar.

"You're Midnight's boyfriend!" That was why I knew him! The gossip channels were useful for once!

Everyone looked at me at that, and I felt embarrassed. Though, I saw the amusement in both Zaka's faces. "We heard about that. Nemuri damn near kicked down our door, and paraded around my place like she won a gold medal." Huh?

Zaka, the younger one, nodded. "Mhm, mhm. We were wondering if we had to start calling her Mama Nemuri when that happened..." She paused here, and blushed as her tail started to swing wildly. "It might've been a mistake to say that with her right there." All Might and I shared a look, and going by Midnight's actions, could guess what happened... We both shook our heads, and turned back to the father daughter duo.

Zaka-san had a smirk on his face as he looked at his daughter, and reached for his pants pocket. Seeing that, she panicked, and stopped his arm. "Papa, no!" But the elder Zaka just laughed, turned into a wolf...Huh?

"(That has to be his quirk. From the looks of it, he's around 180cm's tall, almost his height when he's is human form. From the looks of it, he's maybe 200cm's long. I don't know anything about wolf species, there aren't any Pro Hero's in Japan that have a wolf theme, so there was never any reason too. Observable capabilities seem to be the claws and teeth. Enhanced speed? Maybe, perhaps it depends on the species of wolf. Can he turn into other wolf species, or is it just the one? If so, does he gain their instincts like that Villain 'Wilder' from earlier? If so, how does that work in relation to other mutation quirks? Would there be some kind of conflict with felines?)" A laugh brought me out of my thoughts, and I saw it was Zaka-san, who had changed back, and was sitting on a car.

By now, I already knew the answer, and just sighed. "It's fine. Anyway, I don't start shit with cats by the way. A friend of ours is a cat girl, and would literally jump at the chance to glomp me when I'm in wolf form. It's a Gray Wolf by the way, and the answers to your other questions is yes. Well, I've always got the instincts, so there's that." Huh... Someone actually answered that... There was a first time for everything it seemed. The father was about to say something else, but then he suddenly rolled to the left, and avoided his daughter, who had gone invisible at some point, and jumped at him. "Aw, try again." His daughter 'grr'd' at him, and went invisible again, while her father started digging through his pocket.

"PAPA, NO!" He smirked at that.

"Papa, YES!" And so began the weirdest game of cat and mouse I, and I think All Might, had ever seen. The elder Zaka was doing flips, jumping on, and over trash piles, all the while his daughter, most of the time invisible, lunged at him. She even seemed to get desperate at one point, as she grew fur around her arms, fangs and claws grew, while her hair went wild. Seeing that, her father raised a brow. "Oh? Don't want to be embarrassed THAT badly smols?"

(A secondary quirk? From the looks of it, her lupine features have grown, maybe increasing her physical attributes. Are her instincts enhanced as well? Is this her main quirk, while the invisibility is a secondary one? Or is the transformation/lupine features a hereditary quirk, while the invisibility is her quirk?) I didn't know, but it was an interesting thought.

His daughter growled again, then moved. "NEVER!" I would've missed it if I blinked, but I didn't. One moment she was in front of us, then the next, she was being held back, like a toddler, and was swinging at her father. "Papa, don't do it! We'll swear eternal vengeance on you if you do!" That was... A funny threat, given the sight.

Her father seemed to think so too, as he laughed, and did something with the... Glass panel(?) He had in his hand. "Aha! Here it is!" The younger Zaka went stiff, and we could see her eyes go wide. Her father turned the panel to us, which showed it was some kind of phone, which had a video. "Lookit this. I promise, it's hilarious." And without any input from me or All Might, begun playing the video.

Said video was of Midnight, in her casual clothes, hugging the younger Zaka... And seemingly making her pass out due to the kind of hug she was given. When the video was over, his daughter whined, dropped the... Transformation(?) And put her head in her hands. "Why are you like this Papa?"

Her father snorted, put the phone away, and ruffled her hair. "As your father, it's my divine right to embarrass you in front of strangers as many times as I can, or when I see the opportunity to do so." That... I wasn't sure if that was how it was supposed to go, but I didn't know. Never had one.

Though, by my side, All Might let out a small chuckle. "Ah, youth." The father daughter duo shared a look at that, and after a moment, where it looked like they shared an inside joke, they smiled.

"Anyway. We dropped by to fuck with you two, and say you're kind of a shit teacher All Might." The #1 hero started choking at that, but he didn't stop there. "I'm going to be U.A's combat instructor starting next year, so just by that, you gotta know you're kinda shit at it." All Might choked again, and I rubbed his back... Today looked like it wasn't his day. "When I'm not busy, or chilling, feel free to come over. My place is better for training. I'm training my pack, and one more kid won't be an issue." All Might perked up at that, and looked ready to say something, maybe that it wouldn't be right, or something like that, but was interrupted. "He's your successor dude, he's gotta get the good training. That, and it'll do him some good to train with people around his age." That... Made some sense... Though... I had no idea how to interact with people my age, so that might be an issue. "Oh yeah!" I think we were both worried about whatever he was going to say next. "We could probably fix you up too by the way. Coughing up blood is gross as shit, I'd rather you not get your blood all over my place, so we'll need you fixed up before you really step foot in my place."

And just like that, we both froze again. All Might's injury being healed... The TRUE return of the #1 hero... Of the Symbol of Peace. I looked at All Might, and saw a fire in his eyes that seemed like it would turn into an inferno.

And after that day, Japan would see the return of its #1 hero.

And a few years later, the Symbol of Peace would hand that title down to his successor. Down to me.

This wasn't MY story, but that didn't mean it wasn't going to be told.

[Omake - The girls are great! Nemuri's POV yesterday.]

It was amazing. The latest gossip pegged Zaka-chan as my boyfriend! Zaka-chan! As my boyfriend! I was pretty sure I spent a half hour cackling at that little article. Now, I wasn't laughing at the idea of being with him, no, that was a VERY interesting one. Zaka-chan was already hot as a man, but he also had a female form, one that could double as a futarni if he felt like it. If that wasn't a win, then I didn't know what was. (God, the things we could do!) I felt hot just thinking about it! But that wasn't the point.

No, what I was laughing at was how they pegged ME as the girlfriend, when he already had five women! And meeting those girls, I knew he didn't NEED another woman. He had a sexy nurse with breasts bigger then mine, a chocolate bombshell that could give Mirko a run for her money, a girl after my own heart not only in the looks department, but also the sadomasochistic fun house that was S&M, a cute twin tailed pinkett with a rack on her, and a fun sized innocent 'goddess.' I wasn't touching that claim with a Mobey Huge, and just ignored it.

Anyway, it was funny because me being with him was more believable then him having five mates! Imagine that! It was just hilarious to me. And I knew I wasn't the only one that would think that. I knew Zaka-chan would find it just as amusing, cause we clicked like that, and made my way to their house. (I should complain to Nezu. Yeah, there's a lot of them, but they got it for free? Favoritism! Favoritism I say!) Granted, I knew Zaka-chan was giving us information, and was going to be a colleague of mine next year, but I had the right to complain in my mind!

That aside, I made my way to their house, and grinned as I 'knocked' on their door. "Zaka-chan! Your booty call has arrived!" I heard some snorts, even someone choke, but not in the fun way.

I waited by the door for a bit, and grinned when it opened. "Yo, Nympho. Come on in." Rika-chan was always a treat. It looked like I could grate cheese on those abs of hers, which made me want to try. It was a nice bonus that she didn't mind me feeling her up. Or giving her a spank... Or just pressing myself against her. As long as I didn't try to kiss her, or finger her, or go down on her, or any other number of things, she didn't give a damn. Truly, she was one of the best ones.

But now wasn't the time for that. "Well don't mind if I do!" Rika-chan let me in, and I practically skipped my way into the living room. I heard her chuckle, and close the door. When I got there, I saw my favorite wolfy boy, and some of the kiddies. Komuro was with his girlfriend, who was rubbing his back, so he was the one that choked. Zaka-chan was on another couch, with the 'goddess' Hestia on his lap. (Niceee.) I didn't see Marikawa, Busujima, Hirano, Takagi, the Miyamilf, Athena, Kendo, or his daughters, but the first two were probably with the latter two.

"Hey Nemuri, what's up?" Oh yeah, Zaka-chan! He was looking over his shoulder, with amusement and interest dancing in his eyes. So, I got to the point.

I grinned, and started going through my pockets. When I got my phone, I brought it out, unlocked it, and showed him, and all of them, the article. Well, I tried. My phone was grabbed the moment I held it out, and I blinked as it started to 'run' away. "Oh you little minx!" I knew who was doing this, since Rika-chan was right next to me, there was only one other person that could go invisible in this house.

The culprit just cackled as she reappeared, and looked at the article. She blinked, raised a brow, then showed the phone to her father. "Papa? When did you seduce Ms. Midnight? Why didn't you tell us we were going to have a new Mama?" OH MY GOD!

As soon as she said that, I ran over to her, and picked her up in a hug. "Oh you precious little thing! You can call me Mama as much as you want! I'll be Mama Nemuri!" I felt the little Zaka flail around, and felt her muffled shouts against my chest, but it was just too adorable. I'd never been called Mama outside of some role-playing, so I never noticed how nice it sounded from a little girl. (... That sounds a little suspicious, even for me... Good thing I'm not a pedophile.) Shunting THAT thought away, I focused on hugging the little trouble maker! She was just adorable.

And if there were some laughs at her expense, I tuned them out.

Mama Nemuri had a nice ring to it.

That aside. Things that are different here. Firstly, Izuku is a little older, 16, and part of the support club. He's a fan of All Might, yes. But he's also a fan of his sidekicks. As shown in the show, he knows and gushes over Sir Nighteye, and David Shield. One would think he takes inspiration from David into how to be a hero with a weak quirk/no quirk. We know he's smart, he shows that off in the show. So it would make sense if he got into making support gear. That'll come into play later on.

What else is different. Well, his 'relationship' with Bakugo. I've got something planned for that.

*All Might. I'm a little conflicted about him. The more My Hero went on, the more I didn't understand why he was like that in the beginning. As I brought up, he worked with David Shield in his early days. A man whose quirk was to give the good finger. And that was basically it. And not just David, but MELISSA. If he had the gall to say that to Izuku, he shoulda had the balls to say that to Melissa.

Anyway, back to David. David didn't have a combat oriented quirk, hell, his quirk is pretty shit. But despite that, he used his smarts to end up the head honcho of I-Island. I would think that All Might wouldn't let himself fall into the mindset that you need a quirk to be a good hero. And by seeing Izuku's notes, he should've had the chance to see his analytical mind, and maybe be reminded of David.

Then there's the question itself. I would EXPECT him to see himself in Izuku. No matter how much time passed, you would think he'd remember how Nana treated him and HIS dream when he told her. Seeing that, he would do his best to inspire Izuku, instead of shit on him. He WAS Quirkless after all, he should understand just how much it means to have someone believe in an 'impossible' dream.

* In the event I forget to explain how, Lili and the girls went to a hair salon where someone with a hair color quirk worked on her. Lili's left ear is going to have the blond tip, while the right one is purple. That's going to be how she looks from now on too by the way.
