The Emperor's Dragon

“Daddy, I want to help people!” Izuku cried.



All For One waited for the qualification.



“But… But… I don’t think I can do it as a hero,” his son wailed. “But I still want to help people!”



Hisashi hugged his son. “You will help people, Izuku.” He placed his cheek on the crown of Izuku’s head. His son’s green curls were so soft and he just held his boy for a few moments longer. “You will stand by my side when I change the world,” All For One told his son. “You will be my dragon,” he added.



It didn’t start when All Might told Izuku Midoriya that he couldn’t be a hero. It started much earlier than that, when Hisashi Midoriya walked out on Inko, taking with him their four and a half year old son.



All For One will devote a lot of time to investments he considers worthwhile. His son is one such investment.
