Summary:

Izuku is not a happy bean, Sir Nighteye and All Might are confused, and Eri just wants to hug her ghost guardian.

Work Text:

Izuku shivered as he glared at All Might. Izuku isn't one to hold grudges and if he did, they were gone in less then a week. Izuku still had respect for the man after all, he saves lives everyday (“Even though he destroyed mine!” Izuku thought bitterly).

The words “think realistically” echoed in Izuku’s mind as he watched All Might sit next to Sir Nighteye carefully.

 

“It sure has gotten cold in here! I wonder if a student's quirk went out of control!” All Might spoke loudly and Mirio chuckled.

 

“It sure has! I swear winter is coming a bit early this year!” Mirio said with a grin. “Now if you guys don't mind me asking, what brought this meeting and why am I here?”

 

“Think realistically, think realistically, think realistically. The only realistic thing a quirkless can do is jump. Jump, jumped, pulled. Why mom?! Why did she kill him?! Im sorry Aizawa!” Izuku's mind screamed with every word that came out of All Might's mouth. Izuku didn't even realize that in the midst of his internal panic, that his scythe had formed. Izuku wasn't planning on killing anyone here since none of their souls were ripped, but the weapon gave an unknown comfort.

 

“All Might here has an exclusive offer for you that can change your life.” Sir Nighteye said, rubbing off the frost that was forming on his glasses thanks to the cold. “But I think we should find a different room or turn on the heater.” 

 

All Might agreed with Sir and quickly got up, turning on the heater in the room before sitting back down with the other two. “You see Young Mirio, I have quite the unique quirk here. My quirk can be passed down.” All Might said, going straight to the point.

 

“A qu-quirk that can be passed down?! How is that pos-possible?!” Izuku gasped. Gripping onto his scythe a little harder then necessary. 

 

“Really?! How is that possible?! What is it called?” Mirio leaned forward, eyes gleaming with interest. Izuku would've been the same way if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't stop thinking about the roof after the slime incident.

 

“My quirk is known as One For All, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. It has grown quite strong, and well you see, I am looking for a successor to carry this quirk. I am growing weak as the number one and I will need to retire sooner than what I would like.” All Might lifted his shirt to show the deadly injury on his side, and Izuku's mind flashed to the moment where All Might showed Izuku his injury.

Mirio winced when he saw the hero’s stomach, or what's left of it, and Izuku agreed with the older boy.  

 

“I was gravely injured during a fight some years ago, and my stomach was destroyed. I was able to get medical help, but they couldn't repair me to my former glory. Thanks to this injury, I can't be as active as the hero I used to be. I'm now stuck on a time limit on how long I can keep my muscle form-” When All Might said that, he deflated into his civilian self.

 

Mirio yelped in surprise “Wh-what?! You're a skeleton now!” Mirio yelled out, shocked from the appearance.

 

“I guess you can say that.” All Might chuckled, “Anyways, I'm only limited to around three hours of hero work a day now.”

 

Mirio nodded, trying to understand everything. His brain made a little reboot sound like it was a computer and then all the information hit him like a train. “W-wiat! When you said you were looking for a successor, are you looking at me for one of the candidates?!” Mirio yelled out, and then all the power went off and the backup emergency lights came on. They were not as bright as the other lights, and it gave the room a creepy vibe. Especially when Mirio caught sight of two glowing green orbs by him.

 

Mirio shivered when he looked at the dull glowing eyes, paling slightly as well. Sir Nighteye and All Might gave him a concerned look.

 

“You alright there Mirio? I didn't think the light turning off randomly would scare you that much.” Sir nighteye leaned forward and Mirio quickly waved him off when he realized that they definitely can’t see the orbs.

 

“Ye-yeah im fine! That was a surprise to be honest! it was like the school was trying to set the mood for this conversation haha!” Miro laughed a bit forcibly, luckily none of the heros seemed to notice him sweating in the dim lighting.

 

“Alright then. Anyways, yes, you were correct about All Might choosing you as a candidate. If All Might passed the quirk down to you, it can power up your own quirk and you could become an even better hero! You will have an easier time saving more people!” Sir leaned back comfortably on the couch, still unaware of the green orbs floating by Mirio.

 

Mirio swore he heard a small broken voice whisper “why?”  beside him, but he brushed it off. 

“I'm honoured that you guys think that I'm a perfect candidate for this quirk, but I will have to decline that offer.”

 

Sir Nighteye was about to try to convince Mirio to take the quirk, but the boy spoke before he could. 

 

“If the quirk were to power up my quirk more than what it already is like, It would cause more troubles for me. I would like to save people with my own hard work and not take any easy ways. Taking All Might's quirk would feel like cheating.  So thank you for the offer, but I truly have to decline.” Mirio got up and bowed to the two heroes.

 

All Might and Sir Nighteye looked surprised that Mirio did not accept the offer, and Izuku didn't know if he felt glad, mad, or just empty at the moment.

 

“Understandable. If you ever want to change your mind, you can always come to talk to me or All Might, Mirio.” Sir Nighteye gave Mirio a smile before shooing the boy off to class.

 

Izuku didn't realize Mirio left the room, or how Sir Nighteye and All Might exchanged concerns about the power outage and the slowly decreasing temperature. “I bet it's little Mischief making this cold weather. Something must've ticked the little ghost off!” All Might bellowed and Sir Nighteye gave All Might a weird look.

 

“Ghost? There's no such thing as a ghost, think realistically.” Sir grumbled, unaware of the course of actions he just set off.

 

Snow began to fall from no cloud in the room, causing both of the adults to jump in surprise. The snow continued to fall and its speed grew faster and faster until it began to look like a storm.

“What the hell?!” All Might yelled, rubbing his cold arms to gain some sort of heat from the freezing room.

“Ma-ke i- st-p” A disoriented whisper echoed in the howling winds, but it was deaf to the heroes ears. 

 

“Is there a student that can control weather in this school?” Sir Nighteye went to the door, trying to open it but it was frozen shut. “Shit” Sir Nighteye growled as he kept pulling on the door and his breathes were visible thanks to the cold.

“Not that i’ m aware of.” All Might said, looking around for what's causing this. His fingers were going numb and All Might knew that if they didn’t get out soon, he was gonna receive frostbite.

 

／(=･ x ･=)＼

 

Izuku was on the rooftop, staring at All Might with pleading eyes. “Please! Just tell me I can be a hero! I need a purpose, even if it's unattainable!” Izuku's mind screamed as he asked the dreadful “Can a quirkless kid like me be a hero!?” 

Izuku knew the answer, it kept him up at night.

 

“Think realistically.” All Might replied, not fazed by the fact that he shattered a young boy's dreams, a young boy's purpose in life. All Might didn't realize he killed his true successor, and now the boy was in death's grasp constantly.

 

“You have a quirk that can be passed down. A quirk that could save a quirkless kid's (my) life. A quirk that could help a quirkless kid chase their dreams. Instead, you guys are trying to give teenagers with already extremely powerful quirks, something that can boost their ego and power.” Izuku growled out, snow stopping in midair.

 

Izuku looked at the two heroes who didn't know what was happening. Snowflakes frozen in the air around them and their breath heavy from the freezing air.

“Why All Might?!”

 

Both heros flinched when they heard Izuku's disoriented broken voice in the cold air.

 

“Who's there?!” Sir Nighteye yelled, but there was no answer to his question.

 

“You could've just told me I could try it! You could've told me that it was almost impossible, that there was a sliver of chance that i could make it in! Not for me to think realistically! I was just a quirkless nobody that wanted to help!” Izkus' voice was easier to hear now, and All Might paled. 

 

He knew that voice, that was the voice of the quirkless child that he saved from the slime incident. After all, he never heard someone so broken before.

 

Sir Nighteye and All Might were expecting the ghost to yell out more, but were caught off guard when the doors to the meeting room slammed open and a disheveled Aizawa and Yamada burst into the room, looking around frantically.

 

Aizawa’s nose and ears were red, and Yamada was wearing a jacket, making All Might and Sir think that this weather was affecting all of UA.

 

“Green bean, are you in here?!” Yamada called out, and a gust of wind made Yamada shivered. Sir Nighteye and All Might assumed it was just from the cold and not the boy who was now clutching on to the voice hero.

 

“Izu, we need you to stop this, okay? We literally have a foot of snow in the class rooms and some students are going into early hibernation because of their quirks. We need you to calm down.” Aizawa spoke softly.

 

“I-i-im sor,sorry! I-i lost my temper and I-i-i Was bac-back on the roof!” Izuku cried out, deaf to Sir Night and All Might, but the other two pro heros in the room were able to hear him clearly thanks to their earpieces. 

“It's alright Izu, but you need to stop this weather, please.” Aizawa loudly said, and after a moment, the freezing weather lifted slowly and it was back to room temperature.

 

“We're gonna need someone to clean up all this snow.” Yamada frowned as his shoes became wet with now melting snow.

 

“Sorry Yamadad” Izuku whispered, not knowing the chaos he unleashed in Yamada’s mind.

 

“Excuse me, but what is happening? I thought UA was suppose to be more stable than this.” Sir Nighteye walked up to the two pro heros, and they both frowned at Sir.

 

“We can't control what we cannot see or touch, and that was Mischief. His quirk got out of control and that's all you need to know.” Aizawa grumbled out before turning around, dragging Yamada out. Izuku glanced over the two heros in the room one last time, fingertips frozen with ice, and left them.

 

Izuku felt stupid for letting himself out of control like that, but at least he learned he can make a room so cold that it can start snowing.

 

／(=･ x ･=)＼

 

Izuku floated into the room where the big three were playing a small game of uno with Eri. 

Nejire and Eri teamed up and were destroying poor Mirio. Mirio somehow got 27 cards in his hand, and Tamaki had three left. The girls didn't seem to care that Tamaki was winning. They were just happy making Mirio’s life miserable.

 

Eri was paying attention to the game and didn't notice Izuku’s presence until she looked up. When she saw Izuku, her face brightened up instantly. “Izu!!!” Eri yelled out, catching the big three off guard. She ditched her hand on the ground, clambering forward and ran into Izuku’s chest, causing the boy to make a small oof sound.

 

“When you left the room, it became really cold and it began snowing! I didn't know snow was so pretty! And big sister showed me how to make snow angels and Tamaki showed me a thing that was called a snowman! But I dont think circles can be a man. It was so cool! Then all of a sudden the snow melted, which made me sad, but it was really pretty and I got to play in puddles until a person came in and cleaned it up!” Eri rambled to Izuku and he couldn’t hold back the smile that spread across his face. He was glad Eri enjoyed the snow he accidently created.

 

“W-wait wait wait, you can see Mischief?!” Nejire came bounding forward, almost knocking the equally curious Tamaki and Mirio over. “How?! I thought they were a ghost!”

 

“Izu is a ghost! He's a good ghost and saved me from the evil man!” Eri said, smile on her face but eyes slightly distant from the memory. 

Izuku tapped Eri's arm, reminding her of where she was, and Nejire grabbed Eri’s hands and begged her to tell her what Mischief looked like.

 

“Hmmm,” Eri thought, glancing at Izuku to get a better look at him to see if anything changed. “He is like this tall,” Eri stood on her tippy toes trying to show his height but couldn't fully reach it, “Very messy green hair, which he wont let me brush!” Eri crossed her arms with a pout “And he has this cute ghost costume and a weird staff with a big blade! Oh, oh! And he also has lots of freckles! He looks and acts like the perfect family!” Eri cheered loudly, and the big three thought their hearts were gonna explode from how cute Eri was when describing UA's ghost.

 

Izuku started crying when Eri said he was like the perfect family. He tried so hard for her and was glad that she thought that. Grabbing her, Izuku nuzzled his face into her hair as he spinned around with her in his arms.

Despite seeing All Might again and having some sort of mental breakdown, Eri’s kind words made his day so much better.
