3 Convincing All Might!

"Its all right now young ma-eh?." A manhole flew into the air followed by a heavy voice filled with heroism. Even though he long lost his powers on my original timeline, I will always respect him because he is my mentor, he is the number one hero All Might!!

A flashback of our first meeting flowed through my head so I became a little emotional, too bad that this time I defended myself by super heating my body so I looked odd beating up the sludge monster while crying towards All Might. I don't think I was being a fanboy but I was still emotional from not seeing him in so long, it's not my fault though I feel that anyone who's only seeing a family member for the first time in years would be emotional.

"E-excuse me All Might sir, I have been looking for you for so long to talk about something." I handed him my notebook while bowing but he started scooping the villain in a bottle before facing away from me.

"Sorry young man I have to hurry this criminal to the police before leaving I've already autographed your book so bye!" As to be expected his transformation is running out and he is in a rush as ever, too bad for him I don't plan on letting him go, the main reason he took me as his successor last time was due to me discovering his secret rather than me being quirkless. Now that I have an amazing quirk in theory I should be able to get his attention easily right?

"What are you doing, let go now I can't jump properly with you grabbing on to me!"

"But All Might I need to tell you this before you leave! I might never see you again other wise!" Yet again we land on the same familiar building before he stood away from me, this time I noticed a slight blood streak on the side of his lip but I didn't say anything.

"Sir I've always admired you and have made sure to stay honorable and help people with a smile. You are my encouragement as the symbol of piece and I wanted to ask... IF YOU COULD TAKE ME AS YOUR PROTEGE!"

There was an awkward silence as he stared at me in shock. I stared him in the eyes as he seemed to be thinking, he was about to turn around but I already knew it was too late. Right on time steam started flowing from him and he shrunk down to TinyMighty.

"..."

"..."

"AllMight, Is that you?"

"*cough* yes I am indeed Allmig-pfft."

He started spurting out blood and I rushed to pick him up, the moment I picked him up I knew I had the leverage I needed. Although he is my mentor he can be absurdly dense, so sometimes I needed to trick him to help out before, I'm not proud of it but it helped me stall him long enough to see his transformation.

"All might are you ok, you seem to be horribly injured! What happened do you need help, who else knows, what can I do, I'll protect your secret so dont worry, oh who could have done this, someone strong enough to injure you must at least be as powerful, have you taken care of them why haven't you healed I have so many questions!!!"

I could practically see the gears in his head being overworked by my questions but I need to confuse him for the final push. "Young Midoriya please slow down I cant answer all your questions at once."

"All might... Why do you look like this what happened."

All might sighed and considered for a moment. Although the confrontation was rushed, the key parts of our meeting are complete, I've discovered his secret and have a will for justice so he needs to tell me something to appease me. Maybe he will even think of this meeting as destiny for him to meet me right before he started teaching at UA.

"The truth young man... is complicated I have a few things I need to think about before U talk to you but I will make sure to find you soon, in the meantime can you please take this -huh?"

He stopped mid-sentence as he finally realized he was missing the bottle with the Villian in it. Honestly speaking I noticed when the bottle fell but kept silent for my final play, just in case this wasn't enough to convince All Might I knew that my next move would.

"All Might-Sensei please dont worry, it's the duty of us younger heroes to continue the legacy of those before us. Please tend to your wounds I'll track down the villian and bring him to justice."

"Wait!"

Before he could finish his sentence I jumped down the side of the building and slid down the wall using the sweat on my hand as an adhesive, it's something I experimented with seeing to what extent my body can adapt in my free time. Thankfully because of the large commotion I didn't have to look long before coming across the sludge monster. As expected he had engulfed Bakugo and had been surrounded by heroes on all sides the situation was at a stalemate as Bakugo struggled to free himself.

Even though I've already met All Might, even though I've planned for the next 20 years of my life, even though I have knowledge from the future, even though for the past 10 years I've been building the foundation for these next few moments I cant help but be nervous that my plan is officially starting.

From now on I'm seriously challenging myself to take every opportunity to improve my abilities and those of people around me. Looking past the crowd at that giant blob and at Bakugos face I cant help but remember why I became a hero all those years ago and why AllMight inspired me in the first place.

I didn't do It for the game or the fortune, I didn't because there are people out there who need help and I want to be the one to do it. To save people with a smile on my face and never falter in the face of trouble, to protect civilian- no humanity from unnecessary suffering and never mind I need to focus.

"Raaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!" In a full on dash I lunged through the crowd with my skin steaming and punched right into the slime man. His body recoiled to escaped the burn from my body but I grappled around him with Bakugo as the core. Remembering to smile I made sure to let go right when I burned through to the center and grabbed the now exposed eyeballs. I noticed whenever he reforms it surrounds his eyes and figured them to be the only part of his body that wasn't overly malleable. After shoving him into another bottle I tried not to crack up watching Bakugo's conflicted face at being saved by me. In the midst of our awkward silent conversation someone in the crowd started cheering before it swiftly exploded into a loud applause. Cameras where practically everywhere as I flashed my most charming smile and put my arm around Bakugo's shoulder. We were stopped several times to be reprimanded by heroes and right before we left a news anchor came to talk to us.

"How do you boys feel about confronting a villian and surviving, what made you want to go out in a situation where even professional heroes stayed back? Do you realize how dangerous that was potentially for the hostage and yourself?"

Faced with the questions I pulled Bakugo close again before smiling and replying "Bakugo has probably been my best friend and rival since I was a kid, but I would have done the same if it was anyone. Having the power to help others and not using it is against everything I was ever taught. Its heroes like All Might and Endeaver that give kids like me the hope to help no matter what our circumstances are, If nobody stands up then I most certainly will." Flashing one more smile we left the scene after handing the sludge villian to the police and answering a few questions.

On our way home Bakugo and I joked about him getting kidnapped and me saving him like a damsal in distress. I'm glad that our relationship is so good this time, just thinking of the mistakes we made in our last life made my back cold with sweat, but this time I know it will be different.
