Sovereign of Death, King of Heroes: Izuku Midoriya

Returning Storm

"I see you have all returned safely. Some of you at least." All Might spoke, noticing the casket containing the deceased hero's body. The surviving heroes felt a weight placed on their shoulder, recalling the recent casualty they suffered.

"...yeah," Katsuki muttered.

Denki and Izuku kept quiet.

"Since you youngsters have endured quite enough, you can go home now." All Might waved the three off. Katsuki and Denki were taken aback but agreed. Izuku took note of how the towering giant of a hero gaze lingered on the greenette. The gaze lasted momentarily as the blonde-haired giant broke it off in favor of his subordinates.

Izuku breathed relief upon knowing he can finally go home. As he trudged past, the green-haired necromancer felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He instantly froze up as he knew whose hand it belonged to.

'Oh my goodness! All Might's touching me!'

"You there young man, your name is Izuku Midoriya correct?"

"Y-yes." 

Izuku instinctively fixed his posture, back straightened whilst facing the man. He'd expected needing to crane the neck upward to meet the greatest hero of all time but was surprised to find the man knelt down to eye level.

A part of him squealed with joy. This is something he'd never expected. Not in his wildest dream!

Their eyes met and for a brief moment, Izuku swore the blue eyes of All Might glowed with a tint of gold. However, the flash of light faded away when the greenette tried to get a better look.

Warmth. 

Standing near the great hero made him feel at ease. Having watched clips of him saving lives was an entirely different experience. He felt like he could confide in the blonde superhuman.

"...Thank you for your help today young man," spoke the man, head bowed slightly out of respect.

"T-thank you." Izuku stuttered. Mentally cursing himself for stumbling over his words, the man continued. 

" You're my hero. I-I would ask for your autograph but I..don't have a pen." 

"Aah that's alright next time if we met," All Might waved off.

"Though I must ask, is your father Hizashi? Hizashi Midoriya correct?" All Might asked 

"Yes," answered the greentte.

"Yes, his loss was a grave one.My condolences to your family, late as it is." All Might spoke. "He...was a good hero."

Izuku was aware of the reason after all. His father was the first few Awakened of Japan when the Gates appeared. The first hero to gain the blessings of the Gate and turn the table against the monsters. 

"My condolence. I couldn't help but ask." The hero tipped his head in a respectful and apologetic manner.

"Anyway, you can leave now. Let us handle it." All Might assured the smaller hero, patting him lightly on the back. Izuku couldn't help but took a sharp inhale of the air. All Might recognized him for goodness sake! He need to tell his mother as fast as possible.

"Thank you sir!" Izuku giggled as he quickly left the vicinity. Unbeknownst to the green-haired Awakened the number one professional hero's eyes lingered on the young necromancer's retreating back. All Might turned towards his most trusted aide.

"Tonight has been a very eventful one hasn't it?"

The bespectacled man observed Izuku's retreating back before the green-haired necromanceer disappeared into the crowd.

"Do you want me to get someone keep an eye on him?" Sasaki asked, fixing the glasses in position.

"No need." All Might waved off. "Whether he'll be like the dragon or not, I'll handle it. Let us focus on the task at hand."
