10 The Vessel and What Will Be

Early in the morning, early enough that the sun is barely peeking over the horizon. I'm at the beach preparing as much of the trash as possible for transit.

I got here so early in fact, that All Might hasn't arrived yet with the truck. All Might brings a truck around and has me load it up to take it to the waste and recycling plant. As part of my training, the staff know that I must unload and deliver them to their proper areas as well.

I wonder how All Might managed to swing that deal. I mean letting a kid carry trash and recyclables into a processing plant? Ah well…. Maybe he asked that police friend of his for a favor… I'll never know.

Either way…. It's been a few weeks since we or rather… I started cleaning up the beach. Dagobah Municipal Beach has been the location for illegally dumping trash for….. years it seems.

The cause, is due to the ocean currents. Anything that gets dropped in the water ends up being thrown onto this once popular beach.

Fortunately I'm physically fit and I'm not on such a strict time schedule. Even so I have to work hard to prepare my body for his power. Besides it's a shame for this once beautiful beach to be marred by trash.

I hear a vehicle pull up by the beach. I turn my head to see All Might's truck and he gets out of it and yells over "Young Izuku, I see you're hard at work as ever."

"That's right! I have to work hard if I want to be the best!" I yell back.

"That's the spirit kid, now why don't you take a quick break. I brought breakfast."

"Thanks All Might" I say as I run towards him with a big smile on my face.

We both sit down on the back hatch of the pickup and All Might sets down a plastic bag. He opens it up and hands me a bunch of things. Some convenience store breakfast wraps, a couple oranges and some milk.

"Wow, All Might. You didn't need to go to all this trouble" I say looking amazed at the quantity of food he got just for me.

He laughs a bit and says "Young man, Kaito told me how much your mom worries. If I didn't make sure you were eating well, then…. Let's put it to you this way, hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn" after he says that he shivers a bit as if remembering something.

"Yeah, speaking of my mom, she's... different."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you know how I came from the future. Well… it was one where my mom was trying to be very supportive, but as I became injured more and more, she…."

"Decided it would be better for you not to continue studying to become a Hero?"

"Yeah, it took a lot, so much in fact that you had to bow down to plead to mom. You even went from you're weakened form temporarily to your Muscle form, even though you completely burned out One For All against…."

"Stop Izuku" he said interrupting me and I look up to find him staring at me.

"Why? Don't you want to know how it happens, so that we can prevent it."

"I would love to Izuku, but I want to know something. If you told me how it happened would it permanently stop it from happening."

"No… I guess not."

"That's right, it will happen sooner or later… so don't worry so much. Now don't be telling us of anything important that will happen that hasn't already been said."

"WHY!?" I almost scream out.

"Because I talked to a good friend of mine about your situation." I tense a bit at that, but he reassures me.

"Don't worry I never said any names, what you look like or even what your Quirk actually does. All I mentioned was that if you knew what you do, how would that affect events if you told important people. You wanna know what he told me?"

"What's that?"

"He said, things that will be… will be."

"Huh!....."

"If it was supposed to happen, then chances are it's going to happen. I'm not saying that you shouldn't tell us anything, but that should only be around the time that it will happen. While what you could tell us ahead of time could change what happens entirely, it would make all other possible information you have dubious as best."

"All Might... you sure thought this out…." I look over at him in awe.

"Actually….." He seems a little uncomfortable in saying "That was, yet again, words from that friend of mine. He asked that I pass on the word that if, something was going to happen, you'd let me know."

"Alright…" I feel a bit down after being told I don't get to use my knowledge of the future to help All Might prolong his Hero career.

"Anyway you mentioned how she was different…" All Might reminds me

"Oh right. Well this isn't anything too important, but mom ended up getting fat in the future. This time she isn't, she seems…...happier this time."

"Word of advice, young izuku. Never mention a woman's woman weight or for a matter of fact their age either if they are old. You won't as many problems with women if you listen to these two key pieces of advice." All Might adamantly lectures me.

"Alright"

"Anyway... I know that those who are feeling guilty or depressed have a tendency to eat more and not do as much in the day to day. This causes weight gain, but as you mentioned she is happier did she feel guilty about something."

"She did when I was young the first time. My dream to be a hero was shattered, but this time that changed and she seems a lot better for it."

"That's good… a happy mom that's supportive is good for an aspiring Hero."

All Might's right… I hope that we to let mom live without worries this time, I really did too much. We continue to eat until it's all gone and I go back to cleaning up the beach.

After 2 and a half months the beach is looking a lot clearer, but as it clears up I feel ever closer to my dream. Many are helping me get there. Like my mother, All Might, Shota niichan, Chisa neechan and Kaito Sensei.

Kaito Sensei has taught me so much so far, but…. That still doesn't change how I feel about these 'sparring sessions' of his.

"Alright Izuku, that's enough" Kaito Sensei says ending the 'sparring session'

I breath out a sigh in relief and slump down to the floor. "Sensei, you sure are a slave driver."

He laughs a bit "Speaking of….. Haven't you noticed anything yet?"

I cock my head a bit and then I realize "How am I not dead tired? I was moving trash around for 3 hours this morning and you are constantly pushing me with training after school?"

"That, my disciple, is a good question. I think we realized a passive effect of your Quirk. It seems to help you with your stamina. I noticed you recovered faster than some of the other kids I teach."

"Huh… that's interesting I wonder what else it does… anyway I guess this helps with training…. Oh no" I say realizing something and Kaito Sensei seems to be thinking the same thing as he has an evil grin on his face.

"That's right. It's time to turn up the heat. We are going to make sure you are ready to be a hero, whether you like it or not."

"No! Chisaaaa neeechaaan!" I yell out for help knowing that the grin on Sensei's face will be the death of me one day.

"Now let's start again Izuku" he says before coming at me again.
