Third Time's The Charm?

*Natsu POV*

"EHHHHHH!?!?!??"

I wince slightly as my classmates cry out loudly after hearing about what happened last night, "Man, could you guys be any louder?"

Uraraka looks nervously at Izuku, "Are you ok, Deku?"

Midoriya replies with a smile, "Yeah, we didn't get too injured."

Iida waves his hand, "I can't believe you two, actually I can, but that's not the point. Now you will all be behind in class."

I smirk, and gesture to Bakugo, Izuku, and myself, "No offense Iida, but do you really think that we will fall behind?"

Hagakure puts her hand to what I assume are her lips, "But what did you do Natsu? If they didn't get injured, I can imagine that you wouldn't have fought them."

Bakugo yells out and Kirishima and Kaminari are forced to hold him back, "THE FUCK YOU SAY, INVISIBLE GIRL!!! LITTLE FUCKING SHI-"

Ignoring him, I smile easily, "I was watching the show and stayed out a little too late. Also, I could've stopped them but didn't."

Momo sighs, "That's… not even surprising."

My classmates nod in silent agreement and I smirk, "Well, you haven't gotten rid of me for long, I'll be back tomorrow."

Sero sighs, "Ahh, why couldn't you have fought as well, then we could have a peaceful class for a few more days."

Mina shivers at the mention of this, "Peace? Blegh, peace is overrated."

We all laugh at this and my classmate's exit, leaving us to clean the dorm.

Thirty minutes later, the three of us are vacuuming the floor when Izuku suddenly speaks up, "Last night… I had another vision."

I freeze in my tracks and Bakugo does the same, "Another… vision? Are you sure?"

He nods in response and my eyes narrow as all three of us turn off our vacuums, "What happened in this one? Did you unlock a quirk?"

He swallows down some saliva and starts to talk, "This time, I think it was the first user. He told me that it was a bit early, but it's fine because then I can practice more. After that, he showed me… the past."

Bakugo frowns, "The past? The hell does that mean?"

Midoriya goes on to explain how the first user showed him how All for One took a quirk that disfigured a man's face and gave a different quirk to a man who was bullied by other quirk users for being quirkless. How the two men swore to follow All for One, and how the first user got pushed down after insulting him. The biggest thing was that the first user was the brother of All for One.

"And then after that, it got cut because I haven't unlocked enough of One for All to see all of it."

My eyes widen as I sit down on a couch, processing everything I just heard, 'Fuck. Why didn't I die later? If I did, I might've been able to learn this shit beforehand. Damn it all!'

Putting my hand over my mouth I calm myself down, 'Can't cry over spilled milk. But now that I have this information, I need to use it in the most beneficial way possible…'

"Midoriya… try to fly."

"Eh?"

Surprisingly Bakugo repeats my order, "You heard him, Deku. Fly."

The green-haired boy panics slightly, "Wait, wait wait, It doesn't just come out when I want it to. I tried activating it before."

I nod my head thoughtfully, "So, you need a situation where you can force it to come out?"

Izuku nodded his head, "Probably, last time it activated because I needed to dodge Kacchans attack."

Both Bakugo and I make contact and smirks appear on either of our faces, and Izuku pales slightly, "Why do I feel like I made a mistake?"

I shrug my shoulders, "It's for your own growth, but first let's get the cleaning down with."

With newfound motivation, we finish cleaning all five floors within an hour and quickly head outside.

All of us are in our gym clothes and I roll my neck, "So? How do you wanna do this? We can attack you till you fly or…"

Izuku looks at me curiously, "Or… what?"

I grin and sprout a pair of wings, dashing towards Izuku. Caught off guard, he can't react as I swoop him into the air, dragging him by his arms.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT THE HELL, NATSU!?!??"

I continue flying higher, ignoring his screams, "This might be a better way to train you, actually."

I almost reach the clouds when I stop and hold Izuku up and look straight at him, "Good luck."

"Fuck."

Letting go of him, he drops like a stone and screams like a bitch as he falls towards the floor at high speed, "HELP!!!! HELP ME!!! FUCK!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

'Hmm, he isn't flying.'

Izuku gets closer and closer to the ground, but nothing happens, and he uses a blast of air to push himself into the air, cutting his momentum, and he lands on the ground, panting heavily.

I dropped down next to him, "Man, you were supposed to fly, not use your quirk. What's the point of doing this if you can just blast some air and you'll be fine."

He continues breathing and heavily and swears, "Shit! What the hell, Natsu! Not everyone is like you!"

My eyes narrow, "Well, do you want to know my secret then?"

Bakugo, who was smirking on the side, widens his eyes and Izuku does the same, "Y-Your secret?"

I let out a sigh, "Opposition. Without any opponents to compare me to, I can't get stronger. Ji-san, the events at USJ and Hosu City, Gray, and the rest of the league. Each encounter with them helped me grow and adapt. By putting myself in these situations, I grew more and got stronger. If you can't do that, then good luck."

I say the last bit with a snort and Izuku looks down at the ground for a few seconds. Bakugo looks up at the sky, evidently thinking upon my words.

Izuku then looks up at me, his eyes full of determination, "Alright. Let's do it."

I smirk and grab his shoulder, "I'm glad you decided to stay."

Once again I pick him up and drag him high into the air and once again, I drop him from the sky. Once again, he drops like a stone, but unlike last time, he doesn't scream. Instead, he activates his full cowling and starts to focus on activating his float quirk.

'Hmm, he might actually make it this time.'

He falls all the down and does not show any signs of stopping. I watch as he crashes into the ground, creating a small crater.

"SHIT!"

Immediately I flew down there to see what happened, and Izuku was sitting there, frozen, his eyes and mouth wide open.

"Uh, you good?"

He looks at me and answers slowly, "I. Think. So. My. Legs. Are. Ringing."

I look towards Bakugo who just shrugs, "Maybe it's too early for this kind of training. We should probably get you checked up by Recovery Girl."

At these words, Izuku yells out, "No! I-I can do it! Probably…"

He tries to push himself to his feet, but collapses as his legs fail to support him, 'The shock from the impact must've messed up his nerves or something.'

I let out a sigh, "Fine, one more time. If you land like this again, then we'll stop."

He nods his head, and sits back down, "Just let me rest for a bit more."

"Sure."

I look up at the sky and let out a sigh, 'If he does manage to unlock all of his quirks, it might end up being very interesting.'

One minute passes and Izuku stands up, "I… I think I'm ready."

"Good."

For the third time, I pick him up by his shoulders and drag him high into the air. Once we reach a good height, I look at him and open my mouth to say something, but he does first.

"Natsu… can you throw me?"

I stare at him blankly for a few seconds before I start laughing, "Hahaha, you sure? You might die."

He nods, "All the better."

'Well, what's the worst that can go wrong. I can fly faster than he will fall, so I'll catch him if I need to.'

Nodding my head, I respond, "Sure, if that's what you want."

Instead of dropping him, this time I grab him by the back of his collar, and a demonic smile appears on my face, "Here... we... go!!!!!!"

But something unexpected happens. My muscles spasm and I throw him much harder than planned.

'Shit! He might actually die on this one!'

Transforming into my acceleration form, I quickly follow behind Midoriya and try to catch up, but he's going too fast, 'Shit, shit, shit! I can't have him die on me! That would cause way too many problems in this already messed up timeline.'

I get closer and closer to him, but I can see the ground quickly approaching as well, 'Faster! Faster!'

I accelerate downwards in a burst of speed and almost reach Midoriya before he touches the ground when he suddenly stops.

"Eh?"
