Chapter Text
“So I was like come back here villain!” I say in an excited voice, as I hear Izuku starting to ramble I look down thinking about everything that's happened. After Kamino, my all-might voice has only been getting weaker and weaker but is worth trying for Midoriya. I know Kamino was hard for him and at least after the school festival izuku’s happiness was at an all-time high before the USJ. It’s funny after a week of the school festival and I still hear the other classes singing that song.
“ Then you punched that one villain with that water quirk and used her body as a trampoline! I loved that move, but my favorite was-” I blink back into reality after I noted that Izuku stopped talking. I look to where he was supposed to be to instead see a living room.
“ All might where are we?” I hear izuku say power’s up is one for all, as I slowly take in the room we’re in. To the right, there's a kitchen, no knives. To the left there's a bathroom, and ahead is a cinema with a huge screen and a noticeable lack of a lot of seats. It had a seat that you would find in a cinema but there were only 5 seats. All close together and the screen is on the wall.
“Not ua” I hear a voice that's not Midoryas, I jump and Izuku turns ready to -
“Am I a mouse? A dog? A bear?” I sigh as young Midoriya starts apologizing to Nezu.
“Hahaha, it’s okay midoriya, I was just answering your question. Where we are is not ua. Isn't that right Aizawa?” I turned to see the coworker in question just where the kitchen was already checking the cabinets, They were full of food and snacks. Prothero Midnight was with him, on a counter kicking her feet.
“ oh look it's the 2 cuties” I hear Midnight say I look at her with a weird look. She laughs at me then jumps off the counter and gives a muffin to izuku and i.
“There safe” I hear Aizawa say, “Nezu said so, he's always right. And at this point, I don't care if it's poisoned”
Aizawa walks away before I can say anything else, and sits down on a chair.
“Mr. Aizawa? Arnt you suppose to help find us a way out?”
“Now why would I do that midoriya? Besides Nezu’s here I don't wanna get in his way and in all honesty I just wanna go home so I would rather do what they wanna do than go home. I’m too sick of this shit to care.”
“While I figure out what to do midoriya, All might and miss midnight please do me a favor and go find a seat to sit down, put something on or something I need time to see where we are and how to get us home” I hear nezu say, we comply with Aizawa on the first seat, Midnight on the second and izuku sitting next to Aizawa and I sit next to izuku. A seat after me is empty.
I turn the TV on to see 2 movie opinions, one named Epic the Musical or Hamilton the Musical.
“Is this all we got?” I hear Midnight ask mad
“ fucking musicals?!?” Aizawa said getting up angrily
“Why? Why the”- I cover Izuku’s ears for the next few seconds of the most creative curses I’ve ever heard. “out of all the things you could have made us watch why musicals? Why not just torture us you mother-” I stop him.
“ why don’t we just watch one okay? So we can pass the time.”
“ …. Fine “
”So which one epic or Hamilton?” I ask everyone with most saying epic.
“Epic, Hamilton sounds boring”
“ god if the musicals we watch are boring I'm taking a nap”
–
After some time we finally fingered out what musical we were watching… epic!
I click on the TV remote when Epic the musical comes up. A video loading screen is starting to count down from 10 seconds as I hear shuffling as Nezu slowly makes his way to the street.
The big screen starts.
Song 1 The Horse And The Infant
[ODYSSEUS (SOLDIERS):]
Alright my brothers listen closely
Tonight we make the Trojans pay
After ten years of war, they killed us slowly
But now we'll be the ones who slay
Think of your wives and your children
Your families wonder where you've been
They're growing old and yet you're still here
Do what I say and you'll see them again
(Yes sir!)
“Ten years of war? That's a long time” Miss Midnight said
“This guy seems to be the leader, he’s telling the others what they are going to do. It reminds me of Iida!” I hear young Midoriya say.
[ODYSSEUS (SOLDIERS):]
Diomedes will lead the charge.
Agamemnon will flank the guards.
Menelaus will let our mates through the gates to take the whole city at large.
Teucer will shoot any ambush attack
And Little Ajax will stay back
Nestor, secure Helen and protect her
Neo, avenge your father, kill the brothers of Hector!
(Yes sir!)
“That's a really good war strategy, not only this man can make a good plan, have a backup, and fulfill his teammate's desires,” Nezu says as he grabs a paw full of snacks.
“Take notes midoriya this is a very good skill to have as an adult even if you don’t become a hero, always have a backup. Do not pull another stain acedent do you hear me?” Aizawa says
“ yes sir”
Find that inner strength now.
Use that well of pride.
Fight through every pain now.
Ask yourself inside
What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?
[SOLDIERS:]
What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?
[ODYSSEUS (SOLDIERS):]
Penelope...
Penelope...
And Telemachus
I fight for us, I fight for us
(What do you live for?) Penelope
(What do you try for?) Telemachus
(What do you wish for?) I'm on my way
(What do you fight for?) Attack!
“it is good to have that type of mentality when in a fight because it makes you fight and be harder to kill because you have hope to see your loved ones,” I say handing a skittle to Izuku.
“Have someone or something to fight for”
Odysseus fights his way up the walls of Troy.
A mysterious figure approaches him.
The mysterious figure stabs Odysseus
“Argh”
Odysseus realizes there is no stab wound
{Odysseus:}
Who was that?
“ ya, who was that,” Midoryia says “No stab wound is this a hallucination? Or a quirk? Feeling the pain of being stabbed but not having any visible wound is scary"
ZEUS appears as the god of thunder
“Gods exist in this musical” I note
[ZEUS:]
A vision of what is to come, can not be outrun, and can only be dealt with right here and now.
“Reminds me of sir nighteye,” izuku says before going quiet
“ His name is Odysseus huh,” Midnight says
[ODYSSEUS:]
Tell me how
[ZEUS:]
I don't think you're ready
A mission to kill someone's son, a foe who won't run, unlike anyone you have faced before
[ODYSSEUS:]
Say no more, I know that I'm ready
[ZEUS:]
I don't think you're ready
A light shines down on Odysseus.
A sleeping infant flats into Odysseus's hands
"an infant? Why would they make Odysseus do that? it's a child you can't kill them, even if your life is in danger!" Izuku says
"But it is not just Odysseus's life in danger it's his loved ones too, how can you make that decision for someone who doesn't even know if you are alive?" Nezu pops in
izuku puts his head down in thought
" you need to talk to your friends, ask them this question let them know who to pick so that if by any unfortunate chance, you're in his shoes you know what to do, sometimes to do good you need to be evil," Nezu says before the tv starts.
[ODYSSEUS:]
It's just an infant, it's just a boy, what sort of imminent threat does he pose that I can not avoid?
[ZEUS (ENSEMBLE):]
This is the son of none other than Troy's very own prince Hector, know that he will grow from a boy to an avenger.
One fuelled with rage as you're consumed by age
(If you don't end him now you'll have no one left to save)
You can say goodbye to
(Penelope, ) you can say goodbye to (Penelope)
“So this Zeus guy is saying that this infant will later kill Odysseus and Penelope,” Izuku says.
[ODYSSEUS (ZEUS):]
I could raise him as my own (He will burn your house and throne)
“Aw, at least he is trying to find a different way out I wonder what will he choose.
What would you have chosen all might” Midnight says
“I do not know, if it was just my life at stake I would choose the child but it’s also my loved one. I will get back to you on that one” I say truthfully. I don't know what I would choose if it meant that Izuku would die at the hands of that son. If I knew what I know now, would I have killed Shigaraki?
Or send him far away from home (He'll find you wherever you go)
Make sure his past is never known (The gods will make him know)
I'd rather bleed for ya, down on my knees for ya (He's bringing you down on your knees for ya)
I'm begging, please
(Oh, this is the will of the gods)
Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this.
[ZEUS:]
The blood on your hands is something you won't lose
[ALL:]
All you can choose is whose
“As much as I hate this dude he does have a point once you murder you got blood it's going to stain and once you do you will never lose the stain you can choose if you're going to further stain it though,” Nezu says
