You imagined what All Might's place looked like.
Oh I wonder if it's a big tall high rise building.. or a mansion? I bet his place is SO COOL! Famous people's homes have everything.
You both had walked a fair distance to the outer edge of the city, the further you walked the more nature took over, trees and fields were everywhere.
What if it's a castle!?
You turned into a place with a long winding drive way, white stone walls surrounded the building, the driveway leading to a beautiful wooden gate at the entrance. A stylish red sports car was stationed outside shining its headlights at the gate, the car door opened as you approached it.
"All Might!" A slim man bellowed as he stepped out the car.
"Dave!" he gave his friend the biggest welcoming hug you'd ever seen.
"Oh wow I can't believe you still have this old thing!" All Might gestured at the car.
"Yeah, she's got a few new upgrades too! Anyway, it's been too long since we last saw each other huh? Oh and you brought your student along! Nice to meet you, (Y/n) , All Might told me all about you. I'm David Shield, but you can just call me Dave" he held out his hand to greet you.
"It's great to meet you Dave!" you shook his hand eagerly.
"Shall we go inside? You can park your car in the garage if you wish" All Might motioned to his friend and you to follow him through the gate.
All Might's house wasn't the castle you had hoped for but it was still impressive.
"You have cleaned it the since the last time I came to visit haven't you?" Dave joked
"I simply couldn't, counting the cobwebs gets me to sleep at night" All Might jested in return, both of them laughing at their silly jokes.
You all entered his home, it was lovely and spacious inside and it was very clean, not a cobweb in site after all.
"How's young Melissa?" All Might inquired.
"She is very well thank you, currently studying for her exams. To quote what she said: send my love to uncle All Might".
"It's a shame she couldn't join us but studying is studying after all! Please, feel free to get settled in".
Dave went ahead to drop his things off in one of the guest rooms.
All Might took this time to show you around. The kitchen was huge, cupboards covering the walls top to bottom. The fridge/freezer was an American styled one with a digital display showing the weather and it had an ice dispenser. There were bi-fold doors with huge glass panes on the far side, he opened them to show you the garden.
There wasn't much grass, rather a lot of sand and dirt. He had his own personal running track, along with all kinds of body weight equipment in the middle. It looked like one huge jungle gym. To the side was some decking with what looked like a 10 seater hot tub on it.
"Oh wow, you have the biggest hot tub EVER! I'm so glad I packed my swim stuff" you said excitedly.
"Wait, you packed your swim wear and you didn't even know I had a hot tub?" he raised one eyebrow
"Yup. I made some assumptions and I guess I got them right. You never know when you're gonna need it" you followed him back inside.
He had his own personal gym inside the house, a theatre room with posters of his favorite films plastered across the walls.
"Alien, really? Nice!"
"I like a classic horror" he shrugged.
His office was located upstairs, it was full of little All Might figurines and all sorts of merchandise and awards he collected over the years. Some old photos of him were displayed too.
"Aw, you look so innocent here. Who's the lovely lady?" you pointed at a picture, both the lady and All Might had their index fingers on the corners of their mouths smiling.
"She was my master, Nana Shimura".
You could see a slight fleck of pain in his eyes, the way he stared at the image made you believe something awful happened to her.
"Hey, look at me big guy" you copied their expressions in the photo "Do I pull it off?"
"Ha ha, you really do!" he laughed softly "Come on, let me show you your room".
The room was spacious with a few plants dotted around, All Might explained how they help with filtering the air and it can make you sleep better. You placed your bag down and stretched.
"So what's the plan for this evening? The coffee is still buzzing through my system so I'm down for anything".
"Shall we have a little catch up first over a drink?" Dave had overheard and stood leaning against the doorway.
"Sounds like a great idea" All Might agreed and you all headed to the kitchen taking a seat at the bar. He offered you a drink and you declined.
"I've got some Jack Daniels especially for you Dave, it was tough to get around here too! Do you still like it neat or do you need something to water it down with now" All Might laughed.
"Hey now, we're not that old! I'll just take it on the rocks" he laughed softly "So anyway (y/n), how're you finding training under All Might's wing?".
"It's tough, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I also train with Midoriya who he has taken in as well. We both suffer with not being able to control our quirks well, but since training with All Might we have improved an awful lot, at least I think".
"You certainly have, you both are doing exceptionally well" All Might piped up and passed Dave his drink and went to pour his own.
"You're looking a lot better too All Might, since the incident. When you first called me I couldn't believe what you had told me at first! How long can you last now?"
"Upwards of 7 hours, I can finally outlast the school days which is beyond a huge relief".
Dave looked like he teared up a bit.
"You know (y/n) we both owe you big time, you're saving my best friend and I honestly can't thank you enough".
"Ah well...you know I'm super glad that I can help" your face flushed bright pink "I just wish I knew how it worked.."
"Tomorrow we can truly see the results". Dave raised his glass as did All Might in return.
"To a happy and healthy future ahead, to (y/n)!" their glasses clinked together and they took their first swig.
That evening you listened to both of the men reminisce about their past, telling you stories of how they used to work together. When you found out it was actually Dave that created All Might's costumes you couldn't hold your fangirling side back. He told you the process on how he designed them and you both exchanged a plethora of new costume ideas for fun. All Might didn't mind, he was happy that you both were enjoying yourselves.
You thanked the men for a good evening and made your way towards your room. As you walked around the corner and began to head up the stairs you heard your name being mentioned in a hushed tone.
"Toshi, I've seen the way you look at (y/n)! Is something going on between you two"?
All Might nearly spat his beverage out, he coughed a few times and managed to swallow it without choking too much.
"I take it that's a yes then...?" His friend was eagerly awaiting his response.
"Shhh!" was the only thing he came out with.
The next thing you heard was Dave's laugh. The two then remained silent for some time after that and you continued to make your way to your room flustered but also slightly confused.
Toshi huh...so that must be part of his name!!
It took you a while to settle down after hearing that but eventually you forced yourself not to think about him, tomorrow was going to be a big day after all and you needed to get a good rest.
The next morning All Might treated you and Dave to a nice healthy breakfast of pancakes.
"It's quick, easy and I've used a protein mix for some goodness" he justified.
A little later you all squished into Dave's sports car, you were sandwiched between the two men.
"Sorry about the room, only downside to owning a car like this haha! Anyway I think I'll take the scenic route today. We will get to the Q.R.T hub on time regardless but this route is nicer, it gets a bit boring staring at buildings all day".
"The Q.R.T?" you questioned
"The Quirk Research Test Center, there's quite a few of them around the world and the hub is located here in Japan".
Dave turned the key to start the ignition, the engine roared and the entire car began to rumble.
"So...what kind of tests do you think they will conduct on me?"
"It will be like a doctor's visit at least at first. They take your body, weight height etc and plug it into the machines, then you will be taken to a test chamber. Usually they will get you to complete a few activities using your quirk though I'm not entirely sure of the specifics yet but we will find out when we get there".
The journey was long but pleasant, a mixture of old 80's songs played on the radio as you cruised down the winding roads.
The Hub was gigantic, shadowing everything else surrounding it. As you entered the building It felt like you had zipped through a wormhole and ended up 1000 years or so in the future. You signed yourselves in at the reception, the lady behind the desk handed you all ID badges.
"Research Center B is on the 8th floor" she confirmed.
You made your way to the floor required using the elevator. When the doors opened there were floor to ceiling windows all around revealing a magnificent view across the city towers and spires. The research center could only be described as clean, efficient and organised with the best state-of-the-art technology you had ever seen. You followed a sign labeled "Testing Centers", the hum of machinery could be heard, sounding like a soft rhythmic whisper as you walked through the corridors.
"Ah it seems our guests have arrived" piped a female voice.
A small fragile looking lady stood in a doorway beckoning you three over to her. She held her head high, most likely to stop her oversized glasses from falling off her nose. Her hair was wispy and bright red, curls falling down on her face. When she tried to move them out of her way they bounced back in retaliation.
"You must be Lucy?" Dave said as he shuck her hand to greet her.
"Yes that is correct, there's no mistaking you, David Shield or our Symbol of Peace here". She shook both the men's hands and then trotted over towards you.
"Hmm. Interesting," she scanned you up and down whilst writing notes on her clip board.
"So you're (y/n)...mhmm, height (y/h), weight (y/w), blood type..." she whittled on and continue to scrawl notes.
"Urm how do you know all that just by looking at me?" you asked, her hand suddenly stopped and she cleared her throat.
"By using my quirk of course! Now come along, I have the data on your form but I need data on your quirk" she hurried you towards a room further down the corridor.
"If you can step into this room here please".
You stared inside, the room was vast, it's walls covered in thick metal. You looked back at the 3 of them, a nervous expression plastered across your face.
"There's nothing to worry about, the three of us will enter the other room joining it and will watch you through the glass window".
Great.
You followed her order and walked into the room,*Bzzzttt* the door closed behind you.
"Now, please demonstrate what you can do for me" Lucy's voice crackled through the speakers, "Oh and don't worry about any damage caused either. This room was built for quirk testing".
You contemplated on how to begin and settled on holding a sphere in your palms for as long as possible. After that you fired projectiles across the room.
"Not bad (y/n) but do you think you can make something bigger and perhaps more explosive? Try and blow up the dummies on the far end of the room in one go".
You frowned as this wasn't something you were particularly comfortable with, at least if you did lose control it was in a safer environment.
The panels at the end of the room opened and revealing mechanical dummies. You held out both of your hands towards them and concentrated, a swirl of dense light started to form. It grew and grew and continued to gain size and mass. It wasn't difficult to create it however to push it was a different matter. The sphere continued to grow until you couldn't keep hold of it, you had no idea what the mass of the sphere was but it felt like it weighed a ton. You gathered all your strength and pushed it, the force pushed you backwards sliding your feet along the smooth floor. When it hit the dummies the whole room began to shake violently. You braced yourself lifting your arms above your head scared the ceiling would cave in.
"Don't worry (y/n), suspension was built into the room to help it withstand this kind of power" Lucy's voice buzzed.
The dummies had all been obliterated, it was just as well you were standing far away from them as you were lucky not to get struck by shrapnel.
Where's the health and safety in this!?
"Alright, that's enough power demonstration for now. Please come out of the room and follow me" Lucy ordered.
You walked out of the room to be meet back up with the others.
"Well did I pass?" you asked.
Lucy cleared her throat but didn't respond, you all continued to walk to another floor that looked like a hospital ward. Many people were on this floor, both sick and healthy being tested on.
I'm not sure I like this..
"Here we are" Lucy came to a halt, slid her keycard across the reader, with another loud *Bzzzttt* the door opened.
(( Just a note, for the sake of this story Dave Shield is actually aware of All Mights degrading body/power.
Also I am sooooo sorry for the major delay! I've had a lot on and I've finally got the time again to write. I really hope you enjoy and thank you for reading <3 ))
